Undergrad Thesis: Level of Desirability among Teaching Strategies (Unfinished)
CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
At present reality in the Philippine system of education, most especially in the teaching of reading skill, educators are still striving to search for more effective and efficient ways, strategies or practices that would appropriately suit the learning wants and needs of the student. A competent teacher should prepare and present innovative and effective classroom strategies so that students would continue abiding in the stated goals of a certain educational practice. Dunn, Griggs, Olson and Beasly (1995) indicate that good matching in student's learning styles with educational interventions or teaching strategies/practices is beneficial to their academic/school achievement. The inconsistencies of these may somehow create conflicts and no good outcome in student's learning. A constant struggle for teachers in all disciplines of education is ensure that students not only understand the concepts and skills that they are taught, but also that they can then analyze and apply those tools to different situations that arise. In order for students to be successful in school and in life, teachers needs to constantly revise and adapt their teaching practices based on new methods that are introduced in order to ensure that students are engaged invested, and increasing their academic achievements.
The role of an educator is to make tough decisions that guide the effective delivery if instruction to all students, front row or back, eager or reluctant (Crockett & Kauffman 1998, p. 489). In order to improve the academic performance of all students, teachers need to use effective strategies. According to Strasser (1964), teaching strategy is a generalized plan for a lesson or lessons which include structure, desired learner behavior, in terms of the goals of instruction and an outline of tactics necessary to implement the strategy. Effective teaching is only possible if teachers would take into account the understanding
