Title-2 Edited

This study aims to understand the experiences, challenges, and factors influencing the development of multi-step problem-solving skills among selected first-year civil engineering students at Rizal College of Laguna. Specifically, it seeks to understand students' perceptions of their problem-solving abilities, common challenges they face, and what they believe contributes to improving their skills. The study was undertaken because problem-solving is crucial for civil engineers, and developing these skills among students has been an ongoing concern, with more research needed to understand the perspectives of students at Rizal College of Laguna.

Productive Struggle to Mathematical Creativity in Calculus: A

Narrative Study of Selected First Year Civil Engineering Students at


Rizal College of Laguna During Academic Year 2023-2024
Statement of the Problem:
More specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What are the experiences and perceptions of selected civil engineering students at
Rizal College of Laguna regarding multi-step problem-solving skills?
2. What are the common challenges selected civil engineering students face at Rizal
College of Laguna when it comes to developing and applying multi-step problem-
solving skills?
3. What factors do selected civil engineering students at Rizal College of Laguna
believe contribute to developing and improving their multi-step problem-solving
skills?

Background of the study:

Problem-solving skills are crucial for civil engineering students as they navigate the
complexities of their field. In particular, effectively solving multi-step problems is
essential for engineers to design, construct, and maintain infrastructure projects.
However, developing and applying multi-step problem-solving skills among civil
engineering students has often been a topic of concern.

Previous research has highlighted the importance of problem-solving skills in civil


engineering education. For example, studies have shown that project-based learning
can enhance students' problem-solving abilities in civil engineering and construction
management (Smith & Johnson, 2018). However, there needs to be a research gap in
understanding the specific experiences, challenges, and factors contributing to
developing and improving multi-step problem-solving skills among Rizal College of
Laguna civil engineering students.

While previous research has explored problem-solving skills in civil engineering


education, more studies are needed to address the experiences and perspectives of
civil engineering students at Rizal College of Laguna concerning multi-step problem-
solving. Existing studies have primarily focused on general problem-solving skills or
have examined different engineering disciplines. Therefore, there is a research gap in
understanding the unique challenges and factors that influence the development
and improvement of multi-step problem-solving skills among civil engineering
students at Rizal College of Laguna (Brown & Jones, 2019; Smith & Johnson, 2018).

This study aims to achieve four main objectives. Firstly, it describes the
experiences of selected civil engineering students at Rizal College of Laguna with
multi-step problem-solving skills. Secondly, it aims to identify the common
challenges these students face when developing and applying multi-step problem-
solving skills. Thirdly, the study seeks to determine the factors perceived by the
students that contribute to developing and improving their multi-step problem-
solving skills. Lastly, by addressing these objectives, the study aims to provide
valuable insights into the experiences, challenges, and factors influencing the
development of problem-solving skills among civil engineering students at Rizal
College of Laguna.
