Poster Description
Academic burnout is a common phenomenon experienced by students in a college or university setting, which can lead to feelings of disillusionment, disengagement, and a sense of inadequacy, resulting in decreased academic performance, reduced motivation, and a loss of interest in learning (Schaufeli et al., 2002; & Zhang et al., 2007). The negative consequences of academic burnout can have a significant impact on a student’s mental and physical health, as well as their educational and career prospects. Students who experience academic burnout will not thrive academically and may be more likely to drop out or take longer to complete their degree programs (Levecque et al., 2017). While it is essential to recognize the warning signs and seek support from academic advisors or counselors to address the underlying causes of stress, little is known about the interplay of academic burnout and academic performance within the context of online college courses. To fill this research gap, a group of student researchers investigated the possible relationship between academic burnout and the academic performance of students post-COVID-19 at a tertiary-level institution in Trinidad and Tobago.
