This document outlines a research study to analyze the learning difficulties encountered by students at Biliran Province State University in Calculus I. The objectives are to gather student profiles and determine difficulties in key calculus concepts like functions, limits, continuity, and derivatives. These include algebraic and trigonometric manipulation as well as graphing, theorems, and applications of limits, derivatives, and related concepts. The researcher aims to identify specific challenges and develop an intervention plan to address them.
