Understanding Insights of Math Repeaters in a State University: A Qualitative Case Analysis

Author(s) Cristobal A. Rabuya, Jr.
Country Philippines
Abstract While the practical usefulness of Mathematics is undeniable, it unfortunately stands as one of the least appreciated disciplines. Even within educational settings, a significant number of students harbor an aversion towards this subject. This sentiment was vividly highlighted in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), where the mathematical proficiency of Filipino learners fell below the average score of 79 when compared to their counterparts from 79 participating countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Grounded in the Attention-Relevance-Confidence-Satisfaction (ARCS) model and the Self-determination theory, this qualitative case study aimed to understand the insights of math repeaters within a state university in the province of Leyte, Philippines. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and focus group discussion of 6 purposively selected students from one department in a state university. Using thematic analysis, two themes emerged namely the different challenges faced by math repeaters and their educational journey and support. The identified challenges encompassed a spectrum of issues, ranging from personal conflicts to academic struggles, along with difficulties in time management, test-taking situations, and struggling with specific mathematical concepts. Furthermore, the study emphasized the significance of an engaging educational environment, effective pedagogical strategies, and the tenacity of personal commitment in attaining academic accomplishments. Guided by these findings, the study advocates for a proactive stance within educational institutions, urging a concerted effort to bolster the support mechanisms available to math repeaters. By cultivating an environment that embraces their challenges and facilitates holistic learning experiences, educational institutions can catalyze the transformation of math repeaters into resilient learners capable of remarkable academic accomplishments.
