Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the COVID-19 perceived stress levels and the Science academic performance of the 3rd year secondary Science education students of MSU-IIT for the academic year 2020-2021. The researchers adopted a quantitative purposive sampling method with a total sample of seventy-five (75) students. Results showed that students experienced high levels of COVID-19 perceived stress. The emotional stress domain was the most experienced wherein feelings of anxiety, irritation, forgetfulness and disorganization, sweaty palms, and sleeping problems were the common stress indicators. Moreover, the perceived stress indicators were almost always experienced throughout the academic year 2020 - 2021. Lastly, the study found no credible evidence supporting the correlations between the students’ Science academic performance and COVID-19 perceived stress levels. Further research is recommended with a larger sample size for more relevant results. The researchers also suggest that university administrators provide online mental health consultations and time management webinars to help improve academic performance and minimize stress.
