Abstract

The study focused on the relationship between coping strategies and perceived social support of BS Human Ecology students during the pandemic online learning. There were 80 respondents who accomplished an online self-administered questionnaire. The characteristics of pandemic online learning that the students find challenging to deal with are attention span, demotivation, and academic workload while they are able to deal with the use of gadgets, use of Learning Management Learning, (LMS), and self-paced learning. Students used problem-focused coping (M= 3.06) more than emotion-focused coping (M=2.76) and avoidant coping (M=2.05). They also perceived a high level of social support (55%), especially from friends (M= 5.61). Coping strategies and perceived social support were correlated through Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. There is a moderate positive relationship between problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping with social support, while avoidant coping has a significant inverse relationship with social support. Recommendations were made to help enhance effective coping strategies and perceived social support among students as they continue with pandemic online learning.
