Abstract

The goal of this research is to determine the conceptual and computational difficulties of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students in Pre-Calculus which will be used as bases in the preparation of a work text. Specifically, the research would like to assess the students in Pre-Calculus, determine their conceptual and computational difficulties, and determine the causes of these difficulties. Further, the research will also determine how these difficulties will be improved and will propose a work text based from the identified difficulties. The expected users of the resulting work text include STEM students who are enrolled in Pre-Calculus. The research is also expected to contribute particularly the prepared work text which will be used as an added resource available for teachers to support increased distribution and access to learning, teaching and professional development resources to the schools.
