| Abstract: |
This study explored the lived experiences of junior high school students in learning mathematics. Using a qualitative descriptive phenomenological design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with ten Grade 9 students from a private high school in Bukidnon, Philippines. Participants were selected based on varying levels of mathematics anxiety and willingness to share their experiences. Interview data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s (1978) method of phenomenological analysis. Finding revealed four major themes: (1) challenges with teaching and learning, (2) proactive approaches to overcoming challenges in mathematics, (3) performance pressure, and (4) motivation and growth mindset. Results showed that students commonly experienced anxiety due to inconsistent teaching practices, complex mathematical concepts, discrepancies in the difficulty level between classroom examples and assessments, difficulty with problem-solving, and pressure during recitations and examinations. These experiences negatively affected students’ focus, confidence, and clarity of thinking, often leading to confusion, nervousness, and fear of making mistakes. However, findings also revealed positive outcomes, as some students responded to anxiety by becoming more motivated, attentive, and persistent in their learning. These results suggest that greater attention to instructional coherence, supportive classroom practices, and aligned assessment approaches may help reduce mathematics anxiety while fostering student confidence, engagement, and sustained motivation in mathematics learning. |
