    (2022) Junaid, I. O.; Oladejo, M. B.
    It is widely known that formal learning is best experienced in the confinement of classroom environment. Educational and other related activities were mopped together because of homestay induced by COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in remote teaching-learning mode and manipulations of computers and the internet which were alien to some undergraduates and lecturers. The study therefore, examined the influence of Homestay, Socio-Economic Status and Computer Literacy on Undergraduates' Learning Attitude during Covid-19 Pandemic's Induced “Pedagogical Restructuring’’ in the University of Ibadan. Ex-post facto design ofcross-sectional study and multi-stage sampling techniques guided the study. Five faculties, 20 departments, 30 Economics, 400 undergraduates and 30 teachers were randomly selected for the study. Three research questions and three validated instruments-Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (r = 0.85), Undergraduates' SocioEconomic Status and Computer Literacy Scale (r = 0.75), Attitude to Learning Scale (r = 0.70), were used in the study. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression at 0.05. Results revealed that most respondents experienced one psychological trauma during COVID-19 pandemic homestay. Further finding showed that independent variables were reliable predictors of undergraduates' attitude to learning during COVID-19 pandemic homestay (F(2.396) =9.470, p<0.005). Computer literacy made the highest contribution to the students' attitude to learning (β = 1.91, t = 3.815, p<0.05), followed by experiences of the undergraduates (β = .159, t = 3.174, p<0.05). The paper recommends that the University of Ibadan management should consider the socio-economic status of its undergraduates before advancing into individual differences', sensitive educational event such as adoption of online platforms during COVID-19 pandemic.
