Fifty percent of the students was used as sample drawn through systematic sampling. The study focused on six factors of students' attentiveness to learning efficiency, namely: productive practice, sense of commitment. teacher dominance, dedication, self-trust, and anticipated mastery. Students' academic performance amidst pandemic in Physical Education was based on the grade they obtained in Physical Education during the 1st quarter. Gender was the only profile variable for correlation purposes. Checklist was the main tool to gather data; the techniques of online interviews and observations were employed to validate significant findings. In view of the findings arrived at and the conclusions drawn, the following recommendations were offered: Teachers should exert efforts to enhance students' attentiveness in terms of dedication, anticipated mastery, and sense of commitment by coming up with more varied motivating styles and blended class activities, a more comprehensible presentation of subject matter to enhance students' anticipated mastery, and the setting of clear and understandable directions of what students have to expect in the subject. Teachers should continually exert productive practice to monitor students' attentiveness along the six factors as these are interrelationship which can induce and stimulate students' enthusiasm and interest in the subject. The school head should consider as agenda during meetings the necessity of looking into students' attentiveness as these can enhance students' academic productive practice in Physical Education.
