Views of Grade10 Students on their Subject Teachers

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In the eyes of a student or a learner, they define a best or an effective teacher according to their view. They may base it on how the teachers look every time the teachers enters the class, or on how knowledgeable is the teacher on the subject he/she teaches, or on how creative the teacher delivers the lesson, or on how fluent the teacher speaks, or on how talented the teacher is, or on how the teacher treats them. In this study, we evaluated how the students view their teachers based on their attitudes, strategy, and admired skills possessed by the teacher.

METHODS

Using quantitative research, the researchers conducted a study focused on the views of Grade 10 students on their subject teachers. It involves forty respondents from Grade 10 students of Verdida-Sabrido National High School, School Year 2017-2018. Respondents were given survey questionnaires to provide their views to their subject teachers.

RESULTS

We found out almost all of the respondents view their subject teachers as responsible, respectful, open minded, humorous, strict but approachable. In addition, the respondents identified that their subject teachers were using differentiated instruction to meet their needs/interest and possess admired skills, being a good speaker and good motivator. This implies that the subject teachers did their duty responsibly and with passion.

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed that teachers must continue to portray those positive attitudes to influence the students and be a role model. Teachers should keep equipping themselves with different updated and new teaching strategies to continue providing strategies that will help the students learn
