After the sudden paradigm shift that the students faced and are still facing because of the well-known pandemic, various coping strategies, particularly distraction techniques, are continuously rising. Because of this, the researchers want to know its effectiveness in relation to certain

predisposing factors such as physiological, psychological, and socio- emotional factors that affect the academic performance of current Grade

12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students. This study is focused on determining which among the three predisposing factors are the common distraction techniques most effective on. The respondents consist of students studying in schools inside the proximity of Dasmariñas City. A profiling and a 21-item Google Form questionnaire were used as the primary method for data gathering and the raw data gathered from it were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA. The results acquired for the effectiveness of the distraction techniques in alleviating predisposing physiological, psychological, and socio-emotional factors were a weighted mean of 3.12, 3.20, and 2.95, respectively. It could be concluded that the distraction techniques are most effective in alleviating the psychological factors that affect the academic performance of Grade 12 STEM students during online classes.
