Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the “mathematics learning preferences of millennial freshmen students”. Ninety freshmen college students of Arts and Sciences taking Mathematics subjects were randomly chosen as participants. They completed a researcher-made questionnaire. Results revealed that most of the participants were visual learners. The participants preferably learn Mathematics through hands-on activities/experiential/problem sets, which is the most dominant, followed by collaborative/teamwork/group work, and module/e-book/textbook. Moreover, they preferably learn Mathematics when their teacher uses lecture/discussion methods, cooperative learning, and practice & drill methods. Most prefer an environment where they are in a small group and learn effectively in the morning. Furthermore, they also prefer synchronous sessions. It is recommended that Mathematics classes be conducted during the morning using teaching strategies that will suit the learning styles and preferences of the students. This intervention can help the participants learn Mathematics towards better performance in Mathematics.
