Abstract:

In practically every corner of the world, COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown had a negative impact on traditional face-toface educational activities. As an alternative, online learning modality has become popular in many regions of the world. Thus, the students had a drastic adjustment in education and the other students who had previously had meaningful and delightful social connectedness were replaced by loneliness. However, since students’ study from home parental participation is one of the factors that influence students' academic achievement and it can help to escape the students’ loneliness. Thus, this study investigates the relationship between social adjustment and loneliness among senior high school students. The statistical result of the study revealed that social adjustment and loneliness had a significant relationship (r=.023).
