Creative Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learning Styles in Science

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We need to admit the fact that teachers nowadays were more focused on the teaching-learning process due to so many reasons like varied paper works; the accomplishment of forms to name one. Whenever we teach, our practice was to utilize the presentation we had the previous year, thus the teaching styles do not change, we used the same style over and over that compromised the new set of learners. This was the reason why the researcher came up with this action research to address the diverse learning styles of the students. Teachers and their strategies were the most significant factors in terms of student learning. In the classroom, the teacher shares wisdom provides appropriate activities and assessments and does encouragement to ensure students' development. Effective teachers understood that teaching involves wearing multiple hats to guarantee that the school day runs smoothly and that students receive a quality education. The teacher used effective teaching strategies that fit their lessons. Those strategies make way for easy and understandable lessons. However, it was also good to know if the students' learning style was appropriate to the teaching strategies employed by their teachers.

METHODS

Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were used in determining the response rate of the respondents. The mean was used to describe the level of agreement in the assessment of the study. T-test. This was used to determine the significant relationship between learning styles and teaching strategies.

RESULTS

Most of the learners expressed that they can learn when their visual presentations were shown to them while the least of the learners can acquire information when they hear the source alone. This research indicates that the creative teaching strategies of the teachers have a positive effect on the learning styles of the students. Creating a creative teaching strategy will enhance teachers and students to be creative and manifest the life-long learning.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers must consider the varied learning styles of students when preparing lessons for them in order to meet the necessary competencies. There is a necessity to strengthen the utilization of creative teaching strategies to create a more interactive learning environment. Teacher training should focus on creative and modern teaching strategies to assure them that learning takes place in the classroom.
