Abstract:
Mathematical retention is crucial to learning as it determines how students can effectively recall and apply mathematical concepts and skills over time. This study explored the various narratives of students toward mathematical retention conducted at Casisang National High School (CNHS) in the school year 2023-2024. Moreover, the study used a narrative inquiry design, and five Grade 11 Senior High School STEM students participated in the study, drawn by the purposive sampling method. In gathering the data through in-depth narrative interviews, the researchers utilized a semi-structured guide questionnaire validated by two experts in the field of mathematics. The gathered narratives were then analyzed using Reissman's thematic analysis. The narratives revealed five themes, which included the Definition of mathematical retention based on students' perspectives, Mathematical Retention Opportunities, Mathematical Retention Challenges, Retention Strategies, and Remembering Practices. From the findings drawn, students may merge themselves in the proper utilization of strategies that will boost their mathematical retention. It may include listening to math-related songs, jotting and reviewing notes, associating math lessons with real-life experiences, peer-teaching, and purposeful doodling.
