Abstract: This action research study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behavioral patterns of elementary students. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected data through surveys, focus groups, and interviews involving teachers, parents, and students. The findings revealed significant behavioral changes, such as increased anxiety, social withdrawal, and challenges in maintaining attention and motivation during remote learning. Some students, however, demonstrated resilience and adaptability, developing new skills and coping mechanisms. The study provides actionable recommendations for educators, parents, and policymakers to support elementary students in overcoming these challenges, emphasizing the importance of fostering supportive learning environments, enhancing social-emotional learning, and promoting mental health. The research highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and tailored interventions to address the long-term behavioral impacts of the pandemic on young learners.
