abstract = {The study determined the students’ misconceptions and skill deficits in Pre-Calculus subjects
utilizing error analysis. It determined the students’ misconceptions, skill deficits, and their reasons,
and propose reinforcement activities addressing the problem in Pre-Calculus subjects. The
quantitative and qualitative approaches were conducted to come up with a high reliability score
result. The respondents were the 50 second-year Engineering students of Nueva Ecija University of
Science and Technology who have difficulty in pre-requisite subjects of Calculus. Based on the
findings, students had misconceptions about the basic concepts and laws in Algebra necessary for
performing fundamental algebraic operations. They also lacked skills in performing algebraic
operations. Students also had misconceptions about Trigonometry, particularly on trigonometric
functions and their inverses which were pre-requisite concepts and skills in higher mathematics
subjects. Moreover, students had misconceptions about Analytic Geometry, particularly in the slope
of a line, equations of a line, and graphing functions and conics. The reasons for their misconceptions
and skill deficits were due to their lack of knowledge retention, teachers’ methodology, teachers’ lack
of knowledge, and lots of school activities.},
