E- Learning Challenges among Undergraduate Students Attending Degree Institutions in Dharwad, India: A Cross Sectional Study | Chapter 4 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 1

Students in India and other countries were forced to learn online during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research sought to investigate student challenges with online learning during the epidemic. In the current study, 340 undergraduate students from 18 under graduate degree colleges in Dharwad district were randomly selected, and using a Google form, a questionnaire was sent to them by email and WhatsApp to get accurate information. The questionnaire consisted of thirty questions covering socio-demographic characteristics, and technological, psychological, and environmental aspects. Cochran's method was employed to determine the study's sample size of colleges and students. A basic random sampling process was used to choose a sample of colleges and students. Using MS Excel, SPSS, and R programming packages, we applied statistical approaches such the Chi-square test for independence of characteristics, odds ratio, and diagrammatic representations to the acquired data in order to accomplish our purpose. The results showed that there were eleven barriers that students had to overcome before they could embrace online education: unreliable internet, continuous power supply, problems with audiovisuals, lack of privacy, ignorance of ICT, distractions during online classes, scheduling conflicts to attend, learning in hands-on classes, health issues from prolonged use of electronics, difficulty interacting with others, and weight gain. A significant difference was found between the variables according to the results of the Chi-square test used to examine associations between variables. Based on the result it is also found that physically handicapped students faced Psychological problems besides the above barriers. This research might contribute to the corpus of information that helps colleges prepare for the eventual implementation of online education and lessen associated issues. This could make people want and prefer to use online learning in the future.

Self-Compassion and Positive Mental Health of Undergraduate Students of Royal University of Bhutan | Chapter 10 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 6

 The Royal University of Bhutan's undergraduate students were studied to see if there was a link between self-compassion and good mental health. Between July 2020 and June 2021, the sample included students from Bhutan's Gedu College of Business Studies, College of Science and Technology, Samtse College, Norbuling Rigter College, Royal Thimphu College, Paro College of Education, College of Language and Cultural Studies, and Sherubtse College. The study included 321 undergraduate students (184 females and 137 men) between the ages of 17 and 40. There was no significant difference in overall mental health scores between male and female pupils. In comparison to male pupils, the percentage of female students who were able to communicate was greater. Self-compassion was shown to be moderate among the participants. Male students were substantially more empathetic toward themselves than female pupils. Self-compassion was shown to be strongly linked to the students' good mental health. Compassion's of self-kindness, awareness, shared humanity, self-judgment, and isolation were found to have a substantial beneficial relationship with healthy mental health. According to regression data, mindfulness, self-kindness, and self-judgment all highly predicted better mental health. The regressor, mindfulness, has the strongest relationship to mental wellness. Mindfulness training is a potential method for increasing good mental health and reducing the risk of mental illness in students in the future.
