Abstract:
This study explored the challenges Grade 12 STEM students face in them specialized subjects at Diplahan National High School. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research investigated the academic struggles, coping strategies, and external factors that affected student performance. Findings indicated that students faced difficulties in complex problem-solving, time management, and maintaining motivation in subjects such as Pre-Calculus, General Physics, and General Chemistry. To overcome these challenges, students employed self-regulated learning techniques, peer collaboration, and teacher support. The study emphasized the importance of academic interventions, adaptive teaching strategies, and institutional support in enhancing STEM education. The results provided valuable insights for educators, and future researchers in improving STEM learning outcomes.
