Abstract

Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the government through the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia to issue circular number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education Policies in an Emergency for the Spread of COVID-19. Thus, learning that was previously carried out face-to-face turns into learning that is done online or via an internet connection. The rapid change in the learning system from face to face to an online system causes students to experience academic stress caused by various obstacles and constraints such as unstable internet connection, difficulty understanding material, task load, limited internet quota, and so on. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of academic stress of students at SMAN 1 Pasir Penyu during online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used a survey approach with a sample of 155 students.
