The development of Covid-19 pandemic forced mass use of distance learning in the school system, including higher education. The rapid change and related consequences may contribute to the so-called academic burnout. The fol- lowing research questions are stated in the article: to what extend did management courses students experience academic burnout while distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic? How did distance learning change their academic burnout? Did the mode of study (full-time/external) differentiate students’ opinions? The subject of the study comprised of 172 randomly chosen students of management courses, i.e. Management, Economics and Logistics. A technique of an online survey was made use of, using a compartmentalised and standardised survey questionnaire, including The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory questionnaire – student version (The OLBI-S). It was demonstrated that in the majority of subjects academic burnout increased while distance learning during Covid-19 pandemic. A slightly higher level of burnout was detected in the case of ‘exhaustion’ than ‘disengagement’ scale. Moreover, differen- ces between full-time and external students were noticed, as in general a higher level of burnout characterised the former category of respondents. |
