Abstract

This research aimed to determine the level of academic burnout on online learning for junior high school, high school, and college students in East Java. Online learning was one of the governments efforts to minimize the effect of the COVID-19 virus. The use of gadgets for too long could cause various emotional and physical disturbances for the user. Data was collected via a questionnaire asking about the effect of online learning on academic burnout for students in East Java. There were 334 respondents, consists of 102 junior high school students (31%), 104 high school students (31%), and 128 college students (38%). Academic burnout was measured using three dimensions, namely emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced academic efficacy. This present study shows 67.66% of junior high school students, 71.12% of senior high school students, and 68.50% of collage students experienced academic burnout. Online learning increases academic burnout, where the rate of emotional exhaustion is high, however the rate of cynicism and reduced academic efficacy are moderate. Students who prefer offline learning compared to online learning have a higher rate of cynicism because they felt burdened with the assignments given, and the material taught in class was not clear. The analysis of academic burnout from these three dimensions is also concluded in this paper.
