Abstract:
The principal aim of this study was to recognize the opportunities and challenges that students experience in today's new academic learning process of mathematics online with the use of video conferencing software. A qualitative phenomenological approach was the research method for this study that further focused on detailing the experience of individuals. To achieve this objective, the researchers involved 7 students that range from grade 10 to 12 from Barcelona Academy located in Marilao, Bulacan in the course of the school year 2020-2021. The results garnered from the respondents revealed that the benefits of video conferencing software are: (a) capability to personally record class meetings for future reference, and (b) better comprehension of topics as it is convenient. Whereas the struggles and complications of these software tools for learning are: (a) unstable connection issues and (b) insufficiency in the time and practice examples allotted for mathematics class lectures. Therefore, the researchers conclude that students continue to compete with the difficulties of the current academic practices specifically in math. The study led to recommends methods and other possible approaches that are beneficial for learners to an effective learning journey. They will glean valuable insights from the study's research-based propositions.
