In the context of the lockdown restrictions, the aim of the present study was to explore the extent to which emergency states and higher institutions closure affected academic engagement among studying youth. In this direction, data were collected from 227 undergraduate students (N=227) enrolled in different fields of study in public universities in Romania. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-9S) (Schaufeli et al., 2006) was used to assess Romanian students’ academic involvement in the particular context of remote learning imposed by coronavirus outbreak. An additional open question was introduced in the present study, to analyse personal experiences and activities undertaken by students during the stay-at-home period. The main findings of our research were discussed in relation with students’ average degree of academic engagement, the psychometric properties assessment, the resilience stories and its effects on students’ Thesis, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2020 3 Delia Ștefenel & Iuliana Neagoș mental health and academic involvement. Emphasis was given to a deeper understanding of students’ responsiveness and proactiveness concerning behavioural, cognitive, and emotional engagement in their remote academic learning and non- academic life. Keywords: academic engagement, UWES, students, Romania The year 2020 has witnessed huge concern in researching the impact of Covid-19 on people’s daily commitments and behaviours. Such topic has received much attention especially when it comes to rethinking the remote learning environment and the way it affects students’ well-being and their resilience building mechanisms (Kanekar, Sharma, 2020; Brammer, 2020).
