Student-Centric Teaching - Perspectives of Students on the Teaching Strategies

Abstract

This research was conducted to find students’ viewpoints toward different teaching strategies used in higher education. The research method used to collect data was through a questionnaire. It involved two sections: one aimed to evaluate effectiveness of different teaching strategies. The other was about identifying which class activities are mostly liked by students that help them to understand the topics better. The subjects for the research were students since the student is the primary outcome of the teaching process. The data was collected from a random sample of three hundred fifty students for the research at an undergraduate college. The findings were analyzed using statistical tool-ANOVA analysis, coefficient of variance, tables and charts. Based on the findings, it is clearly inferred that there is no particular teaching strategy that derives effectiveness neither an absolute class activity that helps students to absorb the material better. All depends on many circumstances such as the learning environment, level of students and the content to be delivered.
