Abstract

JACOBI ROMERO, Dante Jesús. Study habits in college students before and during social isolation: a literature review. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.40, pp.983-998.  Epub Oct 03, 2025. ISSN 2616-7964.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistahorizontes.v9i40.1188.

With the emergence of COVID-19 and the health measures in place, distance learning was adopted in virtual environments, disrupting teaching. The objective of this article is to systematically review the literature on study habits before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology used consists of a systematic literature review, searching for articles in SCOPUS (2017 to 2023) and Mendeley. Eight original articles were selected using the PRISMA method. The results indicate that among the countries with study habits problems are Mexico (sleep quality: 66.7%), Peru (academic stress: 57.6%), the United Kingdom (adaptive learning problems online: 42%), and Saudi Arabia (no review before exams: 54%). Furthermore, before the pandemic, students had a high level of physical activity (53.3%). It is concluded that the educational paradigm shift due to COVID-19 had a negative impact on study habits, making it necessary to strengthen them.
