Rapid increases in the number of COVID-19 cases have led to the closure of academic institutions including elementary and high schools. The absence from the educational environment can affect the students' emotions towards education and school attendance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the students' attitude and emotions towards the sudden closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.
By utilizing a modified version of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire, a web-based cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the students' positive and negative emotions towards schools during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Questionnaires were filled by 20,697 participants with an average age of 13.76, and 70.3% of them were females. Also, 83.3% were from public schools and 80.6% from urban areas. Based on the questionnaire, for positive attitude a median of 31 (IQR 26-35) and for negative attitude a median of 25 (IQR 19-32) were obtained.
Our findings demonstrated a satisfactory level of students' emotions regarding schools and education during the closure of schools and institutions. This indicates that despite the imposed situation, students showed enthusiasm towards learning and schools.
COVID-19 病例数量的迅速增加导致包括小学和中学在内的学术机构关闭。离开教育环境会影响学生对教育和上学的情绪。在这项研究中，我们旨在评估学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间对学校突然关闭的态度和情绪。
通过使用修改后的成就情绪问卷，我们进行了一项基于网络的横断面研究，以评估学生在 COVID-19 大流行早期对学校的积极和消极情绪。
共有 20697 名参与者填写了问卷，平均年龄为 13.76 岁，其中 70.3%为女性。此外，83.3%来自公立学校，80.6%来自城市地区。根据问卷，对学校的积极态度的中位数为 31（IQR 26-35），对学校的消极态度的中位数为 25（IQR 19-32）。
我们的研究结果表明，在学校和机构关闭期间，学生对学校和教育的情绪处于令人满意的水平。这表明，尽管情况如此，学生仍对学习和学校充满热情。
