Table 1 displays the results of an ANOVA test which was run to examine whether students who felt like the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected their mental health reported feeling confident in their ability to succeed in hybrid learning environments. Literature suggests that students with negative mental health tend to underperform academically. Students who felt that COVID-19 did have a negative impact on their mental health are represented as ‘Yes’ in Table 1. This test shows that participants who were negatively impacted by the pandemic had a lower confidence in succeeding in hybrid classes than students who reported ‘No’. The F-value is statistically significant at the .001 level.
