Abstract

The early days of university are often a period of great change and stress for freshman students. Freshman and sophomore students in the Industrial Engineering bachelor’s degree program at University X are adapting to a more flexible learning environment, running two different learning methods, namely synchronous and asynchronous learning methods. This study was conducted to analyze the classification of stress and fatigue levels of undergraduates in the Bachelor Program in Industrial Engineering at University X. Industrial Engineering bachelor’s degree program of University X when undergoing lectures. Stress levels were measured objectively using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with a gel electrode type. In contrast, fatigue levels were assessed subjectively through the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI) questionnaire. The analysis revealed that the stress levels of students during learning, whether through synchronous or asynchronous methods, were categorized as high, with a higher mean value observed in the synchronous learning method. Conversely, fatigue was classified as mild. Based on these findings, this study proposes implementing structured break schedules during synchronous learning sessions and optimizing asynchronous methods by integrating interactive yet less demanding activities to reduce stress and improve student well-being. Additionally, further ergonomic adjustments to the learning setup and duration are recommended to minimize fatigue.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted almost all countries and caused disruptions in education. Governments, including Indonesia, closed schools and campuses to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, leading to a transition to online learning. This lasted for two years and continued with hybrid learning. The abrupt change increased stress, especially for already stressed students. This study assessed stress levels during online learning at the Industrial Engineering Study Programme of Maranatha Christian University, Bandung. Stress was measured subjectively using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and objectively using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and pulse sensors on thirty-two students. The PSS results classified the stress perception of most students as ‘normal’ or ‘moderate’. Meanwhile, the results of the GSR and pulse sensor measurements indicated that the students were stressed. Furthermore, a comparison of stress levels between synchronous and asynchronous learning and between mathematics and theory courses was conducted. According to the findings, there was a difference in the average heart rate values between synchronous and asynchronous learning. There was also a difference between mathematics and theory courses. With this research, it is necessary to pay attention to learning methods, materials, etc. need to be designed to reduce student stress and improve student performance.
