Summary

Introduction

The modern view of teaching is different than it was before regarding the role of both the student and the learner in the education process. The teacher, the student, and the curriculum form an integrated unit. This unit is the key success of the education process. The new role of the teacher requires the use of different teaching methods that meet the various needs of the students. University education does not differ from any other educational institution regarding the need for modern teaching methods. The difference between the instructor and the schoolteacher is the possibility of supervision. The lack of supervision makes it difficult to know the methods that the instructor uses in lectures. The researcher found it important to prepare a study that investigates the teaching methods used by professors and discover the most common ones
