NextGen Day

A professor from De La Salle University on Wednesday asked other teachers to be aware of their student’s mental health before the start of school the following week.

Maria Caridad Tarroja, a psychology professor, claimed in a webinar that despite the pandemic, both pupils and teachers had gotten used to remote learning. They would have to adjust once more to prepare for the in-person lessons.

She noted that this was just one of the difficulties that students had to cope with when she added, “Online classes may be okay for some, but these may have been stressful for some.”

While taking online classes presented them with additional financial and technological hurdles, including internet access, the epidemic prevented the students from mingling.

Tarroja continued, saying that because students frequently use social media to compare themselves to others or become fixated on the amount of “likes” on their posts, it also has an impact on students’ mental health.

To help students focus and give other important tasks priority, she advised deleting enticing mobile applications and turning off notifications.

She claimed that stress had numerous negative impacts on the body, including depression, an increase in blood pressure, a higher chance of heart attack, stomach pain, and regular aches and pains in the muscles and joints.

“By observing behavioral changes, you can identify mental health issues. For instance, the student was once very engaged in recitation but is no longer, “She spoke.

According to Tarroja, becoming quieter than usual is another sign of deteriorating mental health.

Tarroja recommended schools to work together with parents and the community to raise student awareness of mental health issues in order to prevent or lessen the consequences of these stressors.

Teachers and schools also have a duty to ensure the security and safety of the applications used for distance learning and to include mental health and digital citizenship into the curriculum.

Tarroja stated that in order to encourage children and teenagers to use the Internet safely, schools should work with hardware and software companies.

Additionally, we must help pupils learn coping mechanisms, according to Tarroja.

Remote, hybrid, or in-person instruction is an option for schools up to November, after which time in-person instruction is required.
