Abstract

The impression of engineering mathematics courses that so far has been difficult for most civil engineering students to study, is certainly caused by learning difficulties faced by students. This research is a descriptive qualitative approach that aims to describe the factors that cause difficulties in learning mathematics techniques. Data collected by interview, observation and test techniques. There are two types of factors that cause difficulties in learning mathematics techniques, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors that are the main causes of learning difficulties in mathematics courses are difficult material, habits of students who do not study independently, organized activities that make students unable to manage time properly and correctly, and the habit of social media for more than 8 h per day. The external factors that cause difficulties in learning mathematics techniques are weather and hours of study, learning methods and media, social environment that tends not to support good study habits, and the conditions of the living environment.
