Abstract

When the Covid-19 pandemic began to plague Indonesia in 2020, the Government implemented a policy to implement social distancing to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. In terms of education, online learning was also applied because it was an effective solution to continue learning for students affected by social distancing. However, online learning is not fully effective in the psychological development of students. As a result, the effectiveness of student learning decreases, student learning outcomes decrease and causes students to get bored easily in receiving lessons. The purpose of this article is to examine how the influence of online learning on the psychology of students affected by social distancing due to covid 19. The research approach used is qualitative. Sources of data were obtained from online learning literature, student psychology, and Covid-19. Data collection techniques were carried out by searching related literature, both manually and digitally. The results show that online learning is not effective for students because it affects students' psychology. It can be concluded that online learning is very effective during the Covid-19 pandemic, but there are problems or psychological disorders for students. Online learning can be developed into more effective learning by paying attention to the psychology of students affected by social distancing.
