Abstract—This study delves into innovative methods of learning mathematics beyond traditional classrooms, specifically focusing on web-based strategies that resonate with modern learners’ inclination toward technology such as online videos and internet resources. The research’s core objectives include identifying diverse self-directed learning approaches in mathematics beyond the classroom and evaluating their effectiveness in student performance. To achieve these goals, the study employs a methodology encompassing interviews with both mathematics learners and teachers, alongside the administration of a Google Forms questionnaire. Data analysis employs SPSS 23. The study’s outcomes underscore a robust connection between the utilization of videos and achieving elevated scores in mathematics tests. In contrast, other resources like group work exhibit a negative correlation, albeit without statistical significance. This observation accentuates the significance of prudent resource utilization, as improper deployment can detrimentally affect student performance. The study’s implications hold value for educators, suggesting the endorsement of video resources to learners, even in cases when video production proves challenging and digital learning platforms present limitations. By recommending engaging online resources like videos, this research contributes to elevating pedagogical practices, aligning with learners’ preferences, and furnishing effective tools to bolster their educational journey.
