A Study on the Impact of Covid-19 on Students Learning Experiences with Special Reference to Madurai City

Corona viruses are a large family of viruses, causing less severe common cold to more severe diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). The SARS-CoV-21 is a corona virus very similar to the one that caused SARS. There is evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 has also been transmitted from bats. Like other corona viruses, SARS-CoV-2 virus particles are spherical and have mushroom-shaped proteins called spikes protruding from their surface, giving the particles a crown-like appearance. The spike binds and fuses to human cells, allowing the virus to gain entry. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the National Institutes of Health, U.S., have produced a 3D atomic-scale map of the protein of the SARS-CoV-2 that binds to and infects human cells. Mapping the 3D structure of the protein spike (S) glycoprotein will allow a better understanding of how the virus binds to the human cells. Knowing the structure of the spike protein will, in turn, allow scientists to develop vaccines and antivirals against the virus and even better diagnostics. The World Health Organisation has declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic4. The symptoms of COVID-19 appear within two to 14 days after exposure and include fever, cough, a runny nose and difficulty in breathing. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the COVID-19 and how this great pandemic has bothered the ordinary life of every citizen, with more focus on the economic imbalance created in India. This study has also attempted to know the students learning experiences and their attitude due to this lockdown period amidst the demanding end of the semester requirements in the year 2020. It also attempts to know their expectations, anxieties, plans and problems encountered by them about COVID-19 by being at home, having in mind their career development.


Introduction
Corona virus disease  is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. World Health Organisation (WHO) will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available. The virus can be detected using a PCR test.

Statement of the Problem
Crises tend to bring out both the best and the worst in people. On the one hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has people picking up groceries for their elderly neighbors, sewing masks, and sending hand sanitizer to those in need. Simultaneously, others are hoarding toilet paper, spreading conspiracy theories on social media, and failing to follow health directives from authorities. Hardly anyone is going through the normal routine of getting ready for work, commuting to the office, spending the day with colleagues, returning home, and enjoying the evening with family and friends. As the current scenario is such that the researcher(s) being in the field of education are interested to know about the student's mentality about this Covid-19. This fact kindled the interest in the researchers to undertake the present study.

To learn the facts about the current pandemic
Covid-19. 2. To know the student's opinion towards  and online learning. 3. To analyze the students' attitude towards a future career, problems faced and measures/remedies available due to this pandemic.

Methodology
The present study comprises both primary and secondary data collected from the students, including schools and colleges in and around Madurai city.
Primary Data: The primary data were collected from various respondents, including schools and colleges situated in Madurai city.
Secondary Data: The secondary data were also collected from various standard text books, magazines, journals, newspapers and the internet, which constituted supportive literature to make analysis and suggestions.
Period of the Study: The study was undertaken in the year 2020 during the Covid-19 Lockdown during March, April & May 2020.
Sampling Design: A convenience sampling technique was used.
Sample Size: A sample size of 275 respondents was selected for this study.
Statistical Analysis: Simple techniques such as percentage, mean, Garret Ranking and Likert scaling of the scores regarding the student's opinion towards Covid-19 and their attitude regarding future career, problems faced and measures/remedies available due to this pandemic is being analyzed by the use of appropriate statistical techniques.   It is inferred that the 'boring' tops the list of mind set experienced by the students as found from its mean score of 3.08. The 'arrogant' has the least impact on respondents as found from its mean score of 2.70. With the help of Garrett ranking, it is found that watching online entertainment site is the choice of students during lock down period followed by Time with family and Learning online course is the third way of spending lock down period.

Analysis and Interpretation
The scores of the twenty-five attributes are taken for factor analysis results in four important factors affecting the students' attitude. The four factors, the number of attributes in each factor, its reliability coefficient, Eigen value and the percent of variance are given in the below table. to all cadres of learners. This is the perfect time for the students to enhance knowledge through online learning platforms facilitated by universities/ institutions in our country and abroad. Academicians should encourage students to participate and learn in the online learning platforms for academic progression. • This being an extraordinary pandemic situation, it is, of course a very good opportunity for the student community to adapt themselves to any kind of good and bad situations. • Even after this pandemic gets over, it will be advisable to continue with online teaching methods as it makes the students face international challenges. • The student community can be encouraged to undertake studies at a smaller level to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. They need to survive with the skills of analyzing the situation to take corrective decisions.

Conclusion
This may be the time to reset as the destruction of the Indian and world economy is vital. It takes more than a year or two to bring back the economic enhancement in India and the responsibility to protect the vulnerable humanity from this deadly COVID-19. Indian Government, along with its citizens, have a heavy responsibility on its shoulder to revive this economy back with physical, emotional and mental ability to achieve the status of a developed nation.
