Abstract

This is a cross-sectional, exploratory study that was conducted to explore how COVID-19 affected the academics of twelve (12) undergraduate education students who were enrolled in the Play Activities & Materials course at the University of the District of Columbia. An Electronic questionnaire was disseminated to each student that was enrolled in the course. The students completed the anonymous questionnaire that was composed of nine (9) questions. The students ranged in ages from eighteen (18) to forty-nine (49) years of age. The group of students consisted of Black, White and other students who did not disclosed their race. Overall, the students indicated the challenges that they encountered during COVID-19, the dedication and support of their professors, and the difficult task of focusing on their academics. In spite of these barriers, the students continue to meet their academic goals.
