Abstract:
This study explored various strategies for Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics students learning Calculus online. The research participants were the six third-year students of Saint Columban College who were officially enrolled in Calculus online classes during the school year 2021-2022. A single case study was utilized. The study was supported by the collective data from multiple sources, such as interview guide questions answered by the research participants, the calculus instructor, and the researchers' observations from the recorded class discussions. The researchers found that participants had strategies such as browsing in Google, utilizing online calculators, watching YouTube videos, asking the help of classmates, and relying on given related examples by the Calculus instructor. The participants mentioned that they rely on the positive feedbacking from the Calculus instructor and gaining good grades as to describe effectivity of their strategies in learning Calculus online. The research participants identified the following demands: negative attitude of the students during the discussion with the Calculus instructor, students' difficulties in answering the worksheets, unstable internet connection, and students' breakdown during online classes. The research participants also stated that finding a place with stable internet connection, having an online collaboration with peers, relying on related worksheets and YouTube videos posted online, and motivating each other were their means of dealing with these different demands in learning Calculus online. The researchers recommended that students must be resourceful in finding sources and must adapt appropriate strategies in learning Calculus online so they can easily manage the difficulties in performing the necessary solution in every problem. The suggested recommendation could help the plans of the Commission on Higher Education on quality education and to numerous studies and researches.
