Abstract
The researchers decided to research about the teaching strategies used in MIT-Makati branch, by doing this, the group aims to help the teachers and students to understand the different strategies that may help them to remember more facts during discussions and to help the teachers know how to have the full attention of the students during discussions. The researchers wanted to find out what teaching strategy is most effective and most efficient teaching strategy used in Mapúa Institute of Technology- Makati branch. The group used books, online references and also interviewed a teacher in Mapúa Institute of Technology to understand fully the teaching strategies used by many teachers. During the interview, the researchers found out that the professor that they interviewed believes that hands-on approach is not only effective but also efficient, but the researchers still believes that effective teaching strategy differs from the subject you teach.
Main Body
Teachers nowadays use different teaching strategies in order for the students to learn and understand the lesson. However, each batch has its own characteristics and ways of learning thus, making teaching a very tedious and a challenging profession. Learning can also be influence by what the learners believe about school and about learning. In the concept of good teaching, a teacher should teach the students more practically and ideally for them to understand what the teacher is trying to tell them.
In the study conducted by Felder and Silverman (1988), they came up with the conclusion that the different learning styles of students
