A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES INTEACHING AND LEARNING OF BASIC CALCULUS
This systematic review explores the challenges and opportunities surrounding basic calculus education, highlighting its pivotal role in developing students' mathematical proficiency and problem-solving skills while seeking to identify obstacles faced by educators and learners and exploring strategies to enhance the teaching and learning experience. This systematic review explores the intricate landscape of basic calculus education, aiming to identify key obstacles faced by educators and learners while also exploring the potential avenues for enhancing the teaching and learning experience. This study utilized a systematic literature review method to synthesize existing literature concerning the challenges and possibilities in teaching and learning Basic Calculus. Results showed three themes, such as (1) Student Engagement and Distractions; (2) Technology Integration and Conceptual Understanding; and (3) Time Constraints and Teaching Practices While low engagement, weak foundations, and traditional teaching methods hamper calculus success, incorporating active learning, visualization tools, and addressing student needs can create a more engaging and effective learning environment. In short, by embracing these solutions, instructors can empower students to develop a deeper understanding of calculus.
