Data Sheet 1_Profiling perceived challenges in Mathematics in the Modern World to inform M

371 first-year students from five campuses of a Philippine state university in 2022–2023 completed a questionnaire profiling perceived challenges in the Mathematics in the Modern World course. The dataset includes student survey responses across four domains—course content, instructional delivery, teaching strategies, and assessment methods—and their associated midterm and final grades. Author Imelda M. Flores published the data on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify priority areas for academic support based on student-reported challenge domains.
• Analyze correlations between perceived challenges and examination performance based on reported Pearson correlation coefficients.
• Design modular learning toolkits based on the diagnostic profile of course content challenges.
• Evaluate campus-level differences in student performance and challenges using the multi-campus data.

Strengths

• Includes data from 371 students across five campuses, providing a multi-campus perspective.
• Survey instrument was validated, covering four specific domains of student experience.
• Dataset links self-reported perceptions with objective performance metrics (midterm and final grades).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic and temporal context (a Philippine state university, 2022-2023).
