Abstract

Innovation allows learners to cope with changes and discover new opportunities. This study aimed to investigate the students' level of innovativeness in learning mathematics amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. A non-probabilistic sampling of 132 students enrolled in Mathematics from Visayas State University were the respondents. Descriptive measures were used to summarize the results, and econometric modeling was constructed to determine significant determinants affecting students' innovativeness. On average, it was found that students considered themselves as “late majority adopters” during the pandemic. This implies that students during the pandemic are considered to have a low level of innovativeness in adopting the new normal activities in distance learning. Result revealed that household assets, monthly household expense, submission of outputs, and health significantly influence students' innovativeness in learning mathematics. Hence, the government must support the students with regard to learning technologies, and teachers should motivate students to adapt to the new setup of classes with an appropriate platform and meaningful activities. Furthermore, the government must prioritize the health of students as they learn during the pandemic.
