I. ABSTRACT
Online learning has a huge impact on students as the Philippines is currently experiencing pandemic and this situation has immensely affected the education sector. This study aimed to determine the coping strategies of the senior high school students towards online learning amidst pandemic. The researchers used a quantitative descriptive approach to classify the most popular or used techniques for online learning of 120 senior high school students that were selected through stratified sampling technique. Researchers used modified study questionnaires focused on the three coping mechanisms of Endler and Parker (1990): task-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance-oriented to gather the needed data. The researchers used percentage as the statistical tool for the demographic profile of the survey participants, while frequency will be used to get the mean scores to interpret the data gathered from the participants. This study revealed that among the three coping strategies, task-oriented coping strategies results were verbally interpreted as highly efficient. Emotional-oriented coping and avoidance-oriented coping resulted only as moderately efficient. In accordance with the result, students could best cope with their online tasks through exerting deliberate effort like outlining their tasks, setting a schedule for accomplishing these tasks then trying to accomplish them before the deadline. That is, coping starts with recognizing and accepting the tasks that they are to accomplish. Fantasizing how things turn out and escaping from them were regarded as not really helpful for coping with online class.
