A Comparative Study of the Traditional and the Modern Approaches Employed by Grade V and VI Teachers: Towards A Guide

Abstract

This study aims to perform a Comparative study of the Traditional and the Modern approaches employed by the Grade V and Grade VI Teachers: Towards a Guide at San Bartolome Elementary school. The success of the school and the students, in terms of each educational progress, rests on the active awareness and leadership of the teacher in carrying out its program. This study utilized descriptive statistics to analyze and interpret the data gathered. Research data were based on the traditional and modern approaches of selected 25 selected teachers-respondents. The subjects were gathered through quota sampling techniques to select people according to a fixed standard. The researchers also used a structured interview that would answer the problem of the research topic using the validated teacher-made questionnaires. The findings of the study revealed that most of the respondents were female, 15 or 60% with the age group of 31-35 years old, 15 or 60% were married, and 10 or 40% were single. The achievement levels of the grade V and grade VI teachers were followed by the highest educational attainment. The most common problems encountered by the teachers were the preparation for different entries every day. For the students, the most common problems were memorization and recitation strategies. A guide was crafted to enhance the approaches employed by the teachers in Grade V and Grade VI. Parents and teachers should focus on the character building of the Grade V and Grade VI pupils. Also, parents and teachers should work together to prevent existing problems and to provide activities.
