Abstract:
This study explores the learning experiences of college students in Mathematics in the Modern World during synchronous classes. The research participants were the AB-PolSci students from Saint Columban College, specifically the first-year students who are officially enrolled at the beginning of synchronous classes during the academic year 2021-2022. A single-case study was utilized. This study is supported by the gathered data from the interview guide questions answered by the 1st year AB-PolSci students. It was found that research participants encountered difficulties in learning Mathematics in the Modern World during synchronous classes using a platform, google meet, which leads to complications in delivering the lessons while making their performance tasks during online classes. It also showed that the participants had their strategies to learn Mathematics in the Modern World by watching YouTube videos and reading the provided materials in the Google Classroom. The participants identified the following challenges: difficulty in answering their worksheets, slow internet connection, lack of intrinsic motivation, and difficulty in learning Mathematics in the Modern World. The participants' adjustments pointed to acceptance of the current situation and sought assistance from classmates, friends, and the internet to cope with those challenges.
