CHAPTER I

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Teachers use various teaching techniques on their students to help them learn and

use knowledge to attain their goals. Teaching strategies are an eclectic lesson plan which

compromises lesson structure. It contains intended learner behavior regarding the

instruction goals and an overview of planned techniques to put the strategies into action.

(Gill and Kusum, 2017)

Teaching is a process that involves bringing about desirable changes in learners

to achieve specific outcomes (Ayeni, 2011). According to Macsuga-Gage et al. (2012),

appropriate teaching tactics used by teachers will assist students in becoming

independent and strategic learners capable of making meaningful connections between

skills, concepts, and real-life situations. Every learner has a unique way of interpretation

and responding to questions. In ensuring that the teaching method is effective, teachers

should apply appropriate teaching strategies that best suit specific objectives and

competencies. It secures and facilitates the process of knowledge transmission. (Tebabal

& Kahssay, 2011)

11
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

These happened as the pandemic continued. The traditional way of teaching is

disturbed, and the interaction between the students and teachers is now changed. The

government implemented distance learning as a way for the students and teachers to

protect themselves from the spreading of viruses. It still ensures the continuity of

learning. Universities experimented with different tactics to fully comply with the

necessities of students in education in this current condition in the world. They do it by

carrying out activities for students using the internet and useful devices for online

courses.

Several studies show that student performance depends on how the teacher

conveys their lessons to the students. Different teaching strategies are used to attain the

most efficient and effective way of learning that affects the students and the proctor in

their field of education. Most students who listen, interact with their teacher and their

peers imitate or learn the lecture from the teacher as stated by them without initiative.

Universities in the Philippines use online learning as a platform. Face-to-face

classes are still prohibited. Some studies show the advantage of online learning in

teaching strategy.

12
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Instead of typing answers in a document or homework, ask them some questions

that make them interact by responding to each work in a class. It boosts their engagement

in interacting with people, thus providing an active and enjoyable asynchronous

discussion. Synchronous classes could also be a great way to put students in real-time

interaction with the students and teachers. They also learn by using different media

platforms and video conferencing that would encourage students to showcase their

knowledge with the guidance of teachers. We can use different teaching strategies such

as giving puzzles, quizzes, board work, and more to make your lessons more interactive

and engaging.

Online learning could be a factor that affects the students in coping with some

advances in the learning-teaching process that are all new to everyone. There would be

delays in processing information of the student in gaining new knowledge because of

time constraint that makes the students unable to accomplish tasks and meet the deadline

on time. Therefore, the exact and effective teaching strategy might be a burden to

discover and apply in online learning. Cheating prevention in an online environment is

tough to observe since various methods could initiate the act of cheating without the

guidance of the teacher. Technical problems are prone and likely to happen when

interacting with the students in an online learning environment and many more.

13
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

The effectiveness of teaching methods on student learning has consistently raised

a considerable amount of interest in educational research.

In the conventional epoch, many teaching practitioners have preferred teacher-

centered procedures to impart knowledge to learners compared to student-centered

methods (Hightower et al., 2011).

A classroom consists of students varying in learning styles, which challenge the

teachers since there is no one-size-fits-all solution in teaching. Knowledge about the

"best" teaching method can help them develop their style derived from the result of this

research. Additionally, this research will help the people involved understand the

relationship between the teaching style, the type of students, and the taught subject.

This research aims to gain knowledge and skills about the most preferred

teaching strategy that would influence student performance in school. The researchers,

as students, either experienced or observed some difficulties or technicalities in the

teaching method of the teachers.

14
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

The researchers have conducted this research BECAUSE of the concern and

curiosity, at the same time, if the most credible teaching strategy exists in their

institution. The researchers hypothesized that if they manage to conclude this research,

it will be helpful for their sake, as a student, for their fellow students, teachers, the school,

and other people.

The theoretical underpinning of this study is Kolb's Theory of Learning Styles.

Psychologist David Kolb first outlined his theory of learning styles in 1984. Kolb's

experiential learning cycle concept divides the learning process into a cycle of four

theoretical components: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract

conceptualization, and active experimentation.

In his experiential theory, learning is viewed as a four-stage cycle. First,

immediate and concrete experiences serve as a basis for observation. Next, the individual

reflects on these observations and begins to build a general theory of what this

information might mean (Cherry, 2020). In the next step, the learner forms abstract

concepts and generalizations based on their hypothesis. Finally, the learner tests the

implications of these concepts in new situations. After this step, the process once again

cycles back to the first stage of the experiential cycle. (Cherry, 2020)

Significance of the Study

The core of this research is the students since they are the top priority of this

research. Gaining the insights of the respondents will give us more knowledge and

information about the study. We used the data we gathered to make our conclusions and

recommendations.

The result of the study will benefit the students, teachers, the parents of the

students, institutions, tutors, and future researchers. This research will give them a

precise idea about the said problem.

This research will provide information and determine the order of preferred

teaching strategies of respondents to help the students develop their academic

performance whether they are in the school or not. It will be an excellent underlying

basis to guide the educators in the proper way of teaching. The results of this study could

be highly significant to the following sectors:

16
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

STUDENTS. Students will have the appreciable benefit once the teachers have

adapted or adjusted some preferred teaching styles. The students will have better

performance since the learning styles matches the teaching styles of teachers. Also, some

slow learners can now catch up with the discussions. Furthermore, this research will help

the students who want to become future educators.

TEACHERS. All teachers want their students to get high marks on their specific

subjects. Teachers can use the results of this research as a basis to adjust their style of

teaching. It will make them put less effort into teaching their students. They can conduct

an experiment if such teaching styles are really effective.

PARENTS. They are concerned, especially when it comes to the academic

performance of their child. This research could allow them to get a better understanding.

Such as if their son/daughter is affected by factors that can boost or hinder their academic

performance.

17
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

INSTITUTIONS. These will be an asset to the institution. They will help them

advance their curriculum by using facts from our conclusion. It will be a profit for the

institution for short. The school will maintain its Standard Operating Procedure on the

effective teaching that may attract student admissions.

TUTORS. The significance of the study of the teachers applies to most tutors.

The result of this research may attract student admissions for tutorship for additional

income.

RESEARCHERS. The research outcome will be a credible reference for any

researchers planning to conduct a related study. This research may be one of the

foundations for the creation of a new learning guide. These enable them to look for

credible shreds of evidence and responses from the respondents. These will also help

them to be patient and systematic. It will improve their research skills gradually as well.

18
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Statement of the Problem

This analysis will seek information on the selected teaching strategies of

Grade 12 Students of La Verdad Christian School, A.Y.2021-2022. It will also

investigate the connection between effective teaching strategy and academic

performance. We will rank the chosen teaching strategies that we gather from our

respondents.

Specifically, the researchers want to answer the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondent?

1.1 Name

1.2 Age

1.3 Strand

2. What are the teaching strategies preferred by students?

3. What is the most preferred teaching strategy by the respondents?

4. What is the least preferred teaching strategy by the respondents?

5. Are there significant factors that make the respondent come up with their

choice?
19
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

6. Does the participant experience being taught by a teacher using his

preferred teaching style?

7. Suppose that the participant experiences sessions using his preferred

teaching style. What is the highest grade (in report card) of the participant

with that teaching style?

Conceptual Framework

Figure 1. Conceptual Framework

21
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Figure 1 presents the conceptual framework of the study. It consists of two main

variables: the independent variable is the presence of a preferred teaching strategy. The

dependent variable is good academic performance.

There are five sub-variables when considering the factors that may affect the

choice of the preferred teaching style.

Strand refers to the disciplines implemented within a particular area of learning

or knowledge. These domains are associated with general and specific learning outcomes

or achievement targets and objectives within a definite learning area or field.

Perception is defined as the kind of information the student tends to receive. It

can be sensitive (external agents like places, sounds, physical sensations) or intuitive

(internal agents like possibilities, ideas, through hunches). (Ng & Ng, 2012)

The entry channel refers to the sensory channel the students tend to use to receive

information more effectively. It may be visual (images, diagrams, graphics) or verbal

(spoken words, sounds). (Ng & Ng, 2012)

22
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Processing is the manner the information is processed in the minds of the

students. It can be either active or reflexive (introspection). (Ng & Ng, 2012)

Understanding is the process by which students make progress. It can be

sequentially (with continuous steps) or globally (through leaps and an integral approach).

(Ng & Ng, 2012)

A preferred teaching strategy is an instruction technique wherein it matches the

learning style of a student. A learning style is defined as the characteristics, strengths,

and preferences in the way people receive and process information. (Felder & Silverman,

1988)

Figure 1 consists of 9 sub-variables when it comes to the preferred teaching

strategy. One of these would represent the most preferred teaching strategy after we

evaluate the results of this research.

Brainstorming is a strategy wherein all students participate by responding or

presenting views on a topic.

23
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

This technique encourages new ideas among students, which would never have

happened under normal circumstances.

A case study is a type of instructional method. Students observe, analyze, record,

implement, conclude, summarize, or recommend assigned scenarios or situations. Case

studies are created and used as a tool for analysis and discussion.

A discussion panel contains a selected group of students that act as a panel. The

remaining class members as the audience. The panel informally discusses selected

questions. A panel leader is chosen, and he summarizes the panel discussion and opens

the discourse to the audience.

Games and simulations refer to a series of instructional designs that use elements

from themselves. We execute it with board games, computer-assisted board games, or

fully computerized environments. Simulation and gaming are particularly popular in

business education.

24
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

A presentation conveys information from a speaker to an audience. Presentations

are typically demonstrations, introductions, lectures, or speeches meant to inform,

persuade, inspire, motivate, build goodwill, or present a new idea/product.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching style that pushes students to become

the drivers of their learning education. Problem-based learning uses complex, real-world

issues as the classroom's subject matter. It encourages students to develop problem-

solving skills and learn concepts instead of just absorbing facts.

A project design method is a method where students gain knowledge and skills

for an extended period. It investigates and responds to an authentic, engaging, and

complex question, problem, or challenge.

A question-and-answer method is a teaching method that allows two-way traffic,

direct communication. There is a dialogue between the teacher and students.

25
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

It is intended to stimulate students' thinking and guide them in achieving or

gaining knowledge.

Role-playing is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by

interacting with other people. It develops experience and trials different strategies in a

supported environment.

Based on the literature review, 15 hypotheses can be developed to find the

relationships of the main variables and evaluate the results. The hypotheses for this study

are proposed as:

H1: Brainstorming is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H2: Case Study is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H3: Discussion Panel is the most preferred teaching strategy.

26
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

H4: Games-and-Simulation is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H5: Presentation is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H6: Problem-based learning is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H7: Project Design Method is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H8: Question-and-answer Method is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H9: Role-playing is the most preferred teaching strategy.

H10: The strand chosen can affect the choice in the most preferred teaching strategy.

H11: The Perception can affect the choice in the most preferred teaching strategy.

27
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

H12: The Entry Channel can affect the choice in the most preferred teaching strategy.

H13: The Processing can affect the choice in the most preferred teaching strategy.

H14: The Understanding can affect the choice in the most preferred teaching strategy.

H15: When the preferred teaching style is present, it yields good academic performance.

The framework developed can be proved significant in enhancing the

understanding of teachers, educators, and lecturers in guiding students of different

learner types.

This framework contributes to the knowledge of educational researchers in which

a researcher can justly distinguish the advantages of employing definite teaching

strategies when attempting to improve student proficiency. Researchers can also use this

framework to test and compare the distinct differences among the teaching strategies and

identify the significances of each technique.

28
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Profile of the Respondents

The respondents were all grade 12 students of La Verdad Christian School,

A.Y.2021-2022. Their age ranges from 16 to 19 years.

The proportion of the gender of the respondents was almost in the ratio 50:50,

which was considered to be unbiased.

There were 81 STEM Students, 27 ABM students, and 27 HUMSS students in

the population of interest. The total number of respondents was 135 students.

29
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The study is focused and limited only to the following. The research is concerned

with the sequence of preferred teaching strategies that applies to the student. We also

cover the factors that they consider in making their choice. The research also covers the

relationship between the presence of a preferred teaching style and academic

performance.

It is further validated based on the responses of the respondents to our close-

ended questions. The research instrument used was a quantitative approach type-

questionnaire and was only administered once to the respondents who were compatible

with the study.

Our research study is limited on the amount of time that we are given to conduct

it. Our conclusion will also be restricted based on the information that we gathered

throughout the study.

30
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Our respondents of the study were composed of only one hundred and thirty-five

(135) students. They were all Senior High School students that studied in the strands of

• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)

• Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)

• Accountancy and Business Management (ABM)

at La Verdad Christian School, A.Y.2021-2022.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

The Review of Related Literature and Studies is presented in this chapter. It

contains all the literature and studies gathered from credible sources, such as books,

thesis, magazines, articles from trusted websites from different countries.

The researchers devoted their time searching for these foreign and local works of

literature and studies.

Local Literature and Studies

Teachers plan ahead on how students would acquire and learn a language by

assessing the needs of the students to understand the lesson properly in either a formal

or informal approach. It is in terms of English language learning. (Linde, 2018)

Teachers provided formative tests to determine the student's skills. And to know

their difficulties in the given quizzes or tests.

36
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

The results would guide the teachers whether they need assistance to improve

their performance in school. Observing the students in their class would yield insights

into how they manage their skills in processing knowledge in school.

In some instances, there are unqualified teachers in English grammar learning,

which is one of the challenges that can be observed inside the class. It is hard to solve

because various schools consist of English language learners. Therefore, students convey

the information from the teaching material that their teacher uses, even if it is not

accurate. Applying it to situational problems would harm the student's capabilities in the

proper understanding of the language.

Applying student-centered learning in which students would improve

independent learning, metacognition, and output-based learning. Teachers can learn

ways of teaching from the point of view of their learners by getting information from

them. They are learning while applying it as the students participate in the learning

process. (Kahng, 2015)

Teachers now know the necessary curriculum in which the students must be

related or interested in that field. Once they identify the needs of the students through

the lesson plan, it will now serve as the foundation. It is for the performance assessment

of a student through tests, activities, quizzes, and others. (Albassri, 2016)

37
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

As the teachers explore the needs of their students, it becomes part of their lives

as they assess the proper teaching strategy for them. Teachers provide teaching

strategies. It helps the students excel and apply this knowledge. They learn it inside and

outside of school and for their career path. (Shank, 2016)

Students would like to apply this knowledge in using English in communication.

It is for future purposes. If the teachers did not assist and teach the necessary information,

it would affect their academic performance. (Center for Applied Linguistics, 2016)

By applying formal and informal assessment, teachers would know the necessary

needs of the students to improve their knowledge in learning. In addition, some students

find sharing information about their educational status confidential. It is the

responsibility of the teachers to know the problems of their students before finding an

effective way to generate the needs of their students.

Teachers aim to create lesson plans and teach students without putting pressure

on them. In this process, students became more socially welcome to share their opinions

and more engaged in participating in the class. Most students prefer to hear the teacher's

personal life experiences to connect with their subject topic. They find it much

compulsive and easy to discuss with the students. (BVC, 2016)

38
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

In certain situations, teachers must always provide necessary feedback or

comments on their student's performance. Whether it is compliments or improvement

for failing the expectation in their language grammar learning. The teachers maintaining

eye contact and keeping positive vibes in front of the students may improve the teaching

and learning process. (Kapur, 2019)

Adjusting learning strategies with student intelligence has improved learning

motivation and emotional intelligence. Educational conditions under which a student

learns influence learning. It suggests that learning style involves not only what students

need. It also includes the process. (Stewart& Felicetti, 1992)

Several studies have shown that teaching strategies have a significant impact on

the academic performance of students. Individual learning styles must be taken into

consideration in choosing the most effective teaching strategy.

Cognitive, affective, and psychological factors make up the components of

learning styles. It is used as indicators to distinguish how a learner acknowledges,

interacts with, or responds to the learning environment. (Kaefa, 2012)

39
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

The teacher-student interactive method, a feature of cooperative learning, was

the most effective teaching strategy, followed by the student-centered approach. The

least effective was the teacher-centered approach which was shown in the lecture-type

As the generations pass by, there is a continuous change in the education system.

Which makes it difficult for students to meet their needs in their academic performance.

With the consistent improvement of information technologies, there is now online

learning. Which is a flexible type of learning that helps both students and teachers.

Nonetheless, some challenges are needed to take into account to effectively and

efficiently strengthen the process of teaching and learning. (Popovici, 2015)

There are eight principles of effective online teaching: encouraging contact

between students, collaborative learning, quick feedback, active learning, task time, and

high expectations. The teacher should appropriately approach students so that the

students would know what they need to accomplish. They also motivate the students in

school, diversified learning, and technology application. (Cheung and Cable, 2017)

Studies show that students gain more knowledge in modern learning than

traditional ways in an online environment. (Navarro and Shoemaker, 2000)

Online learning is proven to enhance learning and communication for those

Students' perception of their entire learning experience through teaching methods

and online course design was influenced not solely by their perceived learning but

overall satisfaction with an online course. (Myers & Schiltz 2012)

An online teaching strategy is an approach for organizing learning activities,

course content, and student interaction in online courses. (Bonk & Dennen, 2003)

Common strategies used in online courses are promoting interactivity through

communication (Ku et al. 2011: Lawton et al. 2012); concept application facilitation

(Steinberg 2010; Strang 2012); using video demonstrations (Gemmell et al. 2011);

bearing a social sense of belonging to an academic community. (Zhang & Walls, 2006)

According to the students, case studies, video demonstrations, instructor notes,

Some teachers tend to teach for examinations rather than for conceptual

understanding caused by the sanctions attached to student's performance, even going as

far as engaging in unethical methods such as examination malpractice which is not

appreciated by the student as it denied students the opportunity to gauge their level of

preparedness in the examination (Samson Murithi Njiru et al., 2020)

We can avow that past, utilizing a particular showing procedure inside the

course of the execution of assignments. There is a motivation behind why we use it.

Goals that can change contingent upon the factors that impact the snapshot of utilizing

them. In this review, the educators express the impact of the OME cooperative bunch in

using some showing systems recuperating a solid significance in their academic practice.

The utilization of showing techniques becomes rich to the extent the instructors

question ourselves regarding the reason: why, how, when, and where to utilize them

accordingly. It is through these inquiries that these systems recapture significance in

their execution. They become the key for devices for the showing system tended to by

the instructor.

It is critical to recall that every educator should be cautious when utilizing

showing techniques since all attempt to create superior learning in the understudy. In

this way, the approach and how the educator plans it establishes a significant stage to

figure out which showing procedures are fitting to utilize.

Therefore, it can't be failed to remember that: behind its utilization, there is an

entire scope of aims that every educator looks for. Even though the showing

methodologies are planned to assist with intervening understudy learning.

The teaching strategies in modern blended learning are student-oriented (Petrina,

2007). This method is modified for the needs of the learners and aims to focus more on

them. In this way, teachers would provide them the information that they need. Yet, the

students would have to do more investigation and careful understanding of the lesson.

Having group and individual works helps the students to further solve difficulties

that they encounter. Teachers and students have the chance to learn and process

information at the same time. (Hart, 2014)

Direct instruction strategy is considered the traditional method of teaching that

is concerned with teaching the information to the students without engaging them to

work on an activity.

Compared to modern forms of teaching, students are more engaged in learning

the material. With the constant changes in technologies and different media platforms,

students gain and share their knowledge with other people. Therefore, it enhances their

social learning skills.

A collaborative learning strategy is defined as an interactive way of learning. The

students, teachers, and other people involved are having an exchange of ideas or

information. It helps them to simultaneously learn with the guidance of teachers. It

improves their communication and sharing or gaining knowledge with the consistent

interaction between them with the help of different media platforms that could help in

information processing.

Situated learning strategy involves critical thinking that helps in practical

problem solving and experiments. Lastly, a self-directed learning strategy is also an

active way of learning that is fixed to the needs of the students. It helps them find and

learn the teaching material from the teachers by researching on web pages, wiki, blogs,

and printed materials.

In South African schools, students have difficulties adapting to English First

Additional Language (EFAL) reading. It might be a burden to both the students and

teachers as well. The teacher's failure to express and provide the teaching material to the

students is sufficient for students to fail. The primary cause of this problem is the

teaching strategies that need modification in the efficient and effective teaching process.

The Social Inclusive Teaching Strategies (SITS) find solutions to the inability to

apply different learning styles. (Armstrong, 2011) It empowers progressive learning with

a response to the social changes and needs of the students.

In addition, SITS have the advantage in processing and incorporating good ways

of teaching. It can connect and engage a variety of students without neglecting their

needs in improving their reading and writing skills. This strategy is made possible for

the students to motivate and empower their knowledge and skills in education.

This incorporates the sharing of knowledge or ideas with one another. It is

possible through sharing stories and life experiences that help students to relate to

Listening skills aren't entirely taught in the same way that speaking is separated

from writing instruction. The act of hearing, like speaking, cannot be separated from

listening. Regardless of their various languages, speaking as a result of both listening

and speaking skills are taught.

As a result, speaking should be treated as a whole, especially in remote areas.

Where there is only one instructor who teaches a variety of disciplines to students of

different ages. Content incorporation of learning and participation of key stakeholders

who can make a difference in the teaching and learning of EFL is crucial.

Teaching a subject while lacking the proper skills and knowledge can be

challenging. That is why teachers are required to have a certain level of proficiency to

effectively instruct a subject. Students struggle the most as readers and tend to avoid

reading activities. In a traditional face-to-face setting, constant monitoring and guidance

Malaysia's Ministry of Education (MOE) has emphasized the importance of

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to learners as early as

The South African Constitution (Republic of South Africa, 1996a) recognizes

eleven official languages to "redress the injustice of apartheid by emphasizing

multilingualism and the rights of indigenous languages against English," as well as the

right of "everyone to receive education in their choice of public educational institutions"

(Section 29(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996a).

However, teachers face unique difficulties in consequence of this

acknowledgment of official languages. The child's right to education is affected as well.

It is the job and function of the educator to meet the different students' needs, including

the need for learning in their native language.

It appears that writing in English as a foreign language (EFL) is a difficult task.

Many students, not only in Indonesia but across the world, had a terrible experience. For

The teaching process is one of the main factors that make learning attractive and

has meaning. Having appropriate teaching strategies used by instructors can make

comprehension of modules easier.

Academically gifted students require more attention regarding the teaching

strategies that the professors will use. It can either encourage students or disappoint

them. Some students need teaching strategies that meet their intellectual and cognitive

abilities. It makes their learning process more sufficient.

Academically Gifted Students show a high level of preference for the creative

The definitions of learning style had pointed to several factors (Keefe, 1987).

Learning styles are personality traits that determine the consistency of student behavior.

Learning styles include psychological and physiological aspects of individual

functioning in a learning situation, the combination of which allows a unique approach

to learning within predetermined categories.

Learning styles are the product of interaction between students and their

physical and surroundings. The learning style is the typical way an individual settles on

a distinct approach to the problem. (Skehan, 2001)

It is stated that when they used the method to the kids suited to their preferred

learning styles, they got higher academic achievements. (Pritchard, 2009)

Aforementioned that teachers who are aware of the student learning styles are

better equipped to schedule teaching contents. They tend to choose appropriate methods

and instructional aids in the teaching process. It boosts student intrinsic motivation and

individualizes teaching content. (Tubic, 2003)

It is critical to emphasize the pedagogical importance of understanding and

Empirical research on learning styles has demonstrated that simply being aware

of different learning styles for a particular student creates beneficial effects in student

The physiological preferences of the learner, as well as his emotional, social,

psychological preferences and learning environment, can all influence learning styles.

(Dunn et al., 2009)

Student academic successes improve when the teaching style and the student

learning style are matched. It results in an extended recall of information, more efficient

application of data, and more positive attitudes toward the teaching subject and learning

Some professors emphasize the use of question and response approaches. While

others utilize a lot of programmed instruction. (Carkhuff, 1981)

Programmed instruction is most effective at lower levels of learning, whereas

independent projects are suitable at higher levels. Both methods are adaptable to student

differences. (Weston & Canton, 1986)

Teaching strategies are teacher-led activities in the classroom that engage

students in the subject. It requires them to participate in learning activities, share evenly

One of the main strategies in the teaching-learning process is using aid as a

remarkable teaching tool. There are instructional aids designed to improve the

effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of learning. Some examples are handouts,

One of the main components in making learning meaningful and appealing is

the teaching process. Instructors that employ appropriate teaching tactics can help

students understand the modules more easily. Teaching practices, on the other hand, are

likely to either encourage or discourage a student. As a result, when delivering lectures

to students, instructors have a great responsibility to determine the needs and traits of

The frontal teaching method is stating the lesson in front of the class. It helps

students to observe and recognize the given information. (Jurčić, 2012)

Students have an insight regarding the given activity. The teachers are

responsible for the overview of the students. By applying this method, teachers disregard

the individual characteristics and views of the students. It is because it is a disadvantage

in frontal teaching methods. At the same time, their work is concentrated on those

Individual work is by working independently, in which the student can solve and

them whether they fully understand the context or not. They would work at their own

pace and on the different learning styles that are comfortable for them to solve the given

problem. (Matijević, 2005)

Group work allows people to manage, provide, and brainstorm ideas in their

team. It is to answer the problems given to them. These methods must be explained well

and provide rules that will initiate the teamwork by agreeing on the tasks.

Pair work is a type of work that associates two students who work together on

On the other hand, research regarding students who take science classes finds

their viewpoint regarding student interest in science, about grasping the concept and

understanding the focal point of a topic.

The main reason is the teaching strategy of the teachers in which they use

instead of doing practical work. (Tseng, 2013)

Students find it uninteresting to learn science. It only highlights memorization

intelligence, tact and sympathy, open-mindedness, and sense of humor. (Kyriacou, 2001)

Most teachers primarily educate through transferring curricular materials rather than

guiding students to understand how to learn. (Buchori, 2007)

Quantum teaching can be considered to be a successful teaching approach.

(Kyriacou, 1997)

Quantum teaching is similar to conducting a symphony while orchestrating two

primary elements: context and content. (DePorter, 1992)

Using a Quantum Teaching Strategy boosted my academic field and confidence.

(Barlas et al., 2002)

The goal is to get students to actively engage in generating, evolving, and modifying

cognition models to achieve deep levels of scientific conceptual understanding.

(Clement, 2008)

Their hypothesis established in this study explains science instruction by combining

social and cognitive viewpoints. (Billet, 1996)

Teachers must be aware that not all teaching methods are equally effective. A

well-chosen teaching approach can considerably contribute to high-quality teaching and

learning. (Magajna, 1995)

The teacher can help students improve their artistic and creative abilities. While

also facilitating the potent and unique acquisition of other competencies that are not

necessarily related to formal education. (Illeris, 2005)

We found that using teaching approaches that included cross-curricular

integration in sculpting tasks as part of the learning process proceeds in higher learning

results in art education. (Birsa, 2018)

Adequate teaching methods include an explanation, elaboration, plans. They

drive task performance, sequencing, drill repetition, offering strategy clues, domain-

specific processing, and a concise instructional aim. (Hattie, 2009)

Mastery learning was not only the most effective teaching technique, but it was

also the most successful strategy at all educational levels. (Willett et al., 1983)

A demonstration is an activity approach in which the teacher performs some

job. While the students attempt to duplicate it, follow his lead, and execute it the way he

has.

It's used when a teacher wants the students to complete a task in the same way

he did has done it, and you can learn a little by hearing, a little more by watching, but

you can learn the most by really doing it. It is a method of teaching concepts, principles,

or real-life situations by integrating oral and written communication.

This method focuses on the material content being presented in a logical order.

It progresses from broad to narrow concepts. So that learners are capable of forming

cognitive structures and encoding new data. (Akinbobola & Afolabi, 2009)

In a session where a participant definitely did better on tasks they were familiar

with, even if the improvement is minor. Which could be attributable to a combination of

factors. (Touhill, 2012)

Furthermore, it is critical to emphasize that these findings were obtained when

students were exposed to videos. Since data demonstrate that pupils followed them. It

appeared to be more enticing and engaging. Directions are accurate, maybe as a result of

the audiovisual instructions being clearer. As a result, it is possible to conclude that this

method had a favorable impact.

According to Thomas (1991), INSERT facilitates readers sustained engagement

and promotes metacognitive activity by recalling previous readings of something new.

SQ3R is a reading comprehension strategy named for its five steps: survey,

question, read, recite, and review, which offers to read textbook material more efficiently

and dynamically. (Heilman, 2005)

Students' reading comprehension achievement is higher when using the INSERT

approach than using the SQ3R strategy. There is substantial interaction between teaching

styles and curiosity on the side of the learners. (Gurning & Siregar, 2017)

Engaging in the learning of subjects and developing positive attitudes towards

them will help in high levels of literacy development. (Goodnough, 2001)

Focusing on teaching strategies centered on developing multiple intelligence of

students exhibit positive development.

Students educated by an approach based on Multiple Intelligences are more

successful than the students who have been educated by the traditional teaching methods.

(Ali Abdi et al., 2013)

It is demonstrated that the efficiency of reciprocal teaching in the development

of various skills. To the best of the researcher's knowledge, the researcher located no one

related research while searching relevant literature. (Lemlech & Hertzog, 1999)

One of the causes for low student accomplishment is the lack of teaching

methods that are too difficult to deal with students' capabilities development. (Isa et al.,

2007)

Changes in teaching methodology that someone had customized to the topic

and individual differences in students can help, especially legal skills and social

interaction. (Al Sha'bi, 2001)

The goal was to identify the summarization strategies used in written summaries

using qualitative data analysis. Another goal is to identify the summarization strategies

usage trend using a scanning model. Lastly, they want to develop a text summary writing

strategy and rubric.

There was no evidence of an experimental investigation with Turkish teacher

candidates based on summarizing methodologies. This research is unusual in this regard.

One of the learning tactics that should be used in all situations is summarization.

Language lessons, in particular. The primary language of instruction for summarization

methods will be Turkish. Turkish teacher candidates who will be on duty in improving

students' summarizing abilities should have the appropriate information and skills. The

findings of this study are expected to serve as a guide for developing Turkish teacher

candidates and teaching summarizing skills to educators.

Many research in Western educational contexts evaluate Chinese background

students' foreign study experiences (e.g., Hsieh, 2012; Su, 2006; Zhang, 2005).

However, studies on the learning disparities between Chinese-background pupils of

other nations and races are rare. (Smith, 2001; Thao & Li, 2006)

79

In the host academic institutional setting, students' cultural assumptions and past

educational experience might influence their perceptions of learning and the

expectations of their lecturers. (Sit & Chen, 2010). Teachers must understand their

students' habits, attitudes toward training, and interaction patterns to encourage

classroom interactions.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURES

This chapter consists of the research method used, the respondents participating,

and the collection and analysis of the data.

Research Design

This study entitled "Teaching Strategies Preferred by Grade 12 Students on

Major Subjects in La Verdad Christian School" used close-ended questionnaires that

offer respondents a fixed set of choices to select from. It will guide the respondents in

answering the survey in a proper manner.

We used a non-experimental type of research due to the following reasons. It will

be enough for us to collect information and analyze the results. Experimental research

will be complicated due to some restrictions, such as limited physical activity and a

limited amount of time. We consider using the former type. There are also no variables

that we need to control for us to get the desired results.

81
LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

The prepared questions are easy to understand and can be answered quickly.

Since the survey will be held during this period of online learning, the researchers

provided a Google Form. It is a survey administration software that is flexible and can

easily collect information. This will be easier for researchers to compare and analyze the

data within the given amount of time.

The shared questions are expected to be answered well as they will help address

the problems presented in the first chapter or part of this study. There were five questions

in that questionnaire. Three "what" questions, one "were" question, and one "do"

question was administered.

Population of Samples

The selected students who participated in the study were students from 12th

grade in La Verdad Christian School. A total of twenty-seven (27) students each came

from the selected strand and section in the 12th grade.

These selected students – participants in this research are significant because they

will provide shreds of evidence that can solve the problems involved in this research.

Table 1 represents the distribution of the population of interest from the twelfth

(12th) grade in Senior High School of La Verdad Christian School.

We used Multistage Sampling as the sampling technique in which the population

is divided into strata. However, a stratum may or may not be a part of the sample. In this

case, they use strands and are assigned through draw lots. The participants in each

stratum are selected randomly.

We prefer this method because it allows us to organize our strata based on similar

attributes. When considering the selection of our respondents, there can be equal

representation because you can choose the same amount of respondents for every group.

There were five chosen strata in this research. Twenty-seven students are selected

in each stratum to reach the assigned number of samples, 135 respondents.

Research Instrument

We used a close-ended survey questionnaire to know their answer to a specific

inquiry. We also asked the respondents about their background information.

We use this type of questionnaire due to some salient reasons. The teaching

strategies are narrowed to nine main techniques that match the learning styles of the

respondents. The answers of the respondents will be easier to compare and analyze.

Irrelevant or clouded answers will also be minimized.

The said questionnaire familiarizes the researchers with the teaching strategies

suited to the learning styles of the students. They can also be aware of the primary causes

that lead the respondents to give such answers. It applies to SHS students, A.Y.2021-

2022 of La Verdad Christian College - Apalit.

Data Gathering Procedure

In this study, the researchers took the first step in thinking about and designing

the paper's questions. The questionnaire was created in response to the posed questions,

which were sufficient to resolve and solve the study's problem. Questionnaires will be

distributed to each of the study's participants.

The feasibility of the questionnaire is the second step, in which the researchers

examine and evaluate the questions' possible results to see if they will produce good or

negative results.

The questionnaires are distributed in the third step. The researchers agree that the

participants in the study will complete the questionnaires that are required of them. They

will have sufficient time to do so.

The data collected from the respondents were interpreted, which was done by the

researchers. It became the study's whole point. When the research is over, the results of

the presented data will serve as the study's foundation, contributing to the advancement

of knowledge and serving as a reference for the research's conclusions and

recommendations.

In this analysis, the researchers also use supplementary data from publications

and related studies. The second-hand data pertains to Kolb's Theory of Learning Style,

as well as terms and words that are relevant to this study.

Data Processing Procedure and Statistical Treatment

The data are categorized based on the purposes and objectives of our research. It

is to determine the most preferred teaching strategy of the population of interest.

The statistical tool used for Teaching Style Ranking will be a statistical measure

of central tendency. We will use the Mode as the statistical tool. It will be best since our

data is not numerical or unconvertible into numerical means. Hence, it will be the best

statistical treatment.

The independent variables are also alphabetically coded. We can use percentages

to analyze if a variable is a factor that can affect the respondent's choice.

The grades of the report card will be treated using a different approach. We will

use the Mean as a statistical measure of central tendency. It is fitted for the values are

numerical, and there are no outliers.

We will also compute the standard deviation for the further interpretation of data.

We will use the Gaussian Distribution or the Normal Curve for further analysis. We can

then conclude if the presence of a preferred teaching style can yield good academic

performance.
