Extent of Teachers’ Utilization of Pedagogical Approaches

Abstract

Pedagogical approaches refer to the various methods and strategies that educators use to facilitate learning and teaching. With the educational trends and development, the researchers conduct this study to assess the extent of utilization of pedagogical strategies – inquiry-based, integrative, collaborative, constructivist and reflective. This is conducted to the grade school teachers of St. Paul University Surigao where total population sampling was applied. A modified survey questionnaire was used to assess the extent of utilization of pedagogical strategies and the data gathered were analyzed using frequency count and percentage distribution, mean and standard deviation, and analysis of variance. It was found that the teachers highly utilized the pedagogical approaches. In addition, the respondents’ age, sex, highest educational attainment, length of service and subject/s taught do not influence their utilization of pedagogical approaches. Thus, it is recommended for the teachers to continue utilize the pedagogical approaches to ensure effective teaching-learning engagement.
