Abstract

The traditional method of teaching is an old way of teaching where teachers are the main players in the classroom while students are mere listeners. The common ways of teaching are the use of chalk and talk, visual aids, reporting, and different activities that lead to teacher-student interaction. Surely, the teacher's method of teaching has a great impact on the academic performance of the students. The researchers conducted this study to know the effectiveness of the traditional method of teaching in the academic performance of General Academic Strand (GAS) students and to find recommendations to improve the methods of teaching and enhance the academic performance of the students. This research used a descriptive design in such a way that the questionnaire was administered to twenty (20) male and thirty (30) female students chosen randomly. The survey questionnaire was constructed to determine how traditional methods of teaching affect the academic performance of the students. The theory of Mather and Champagne (2015) states that the traditional method of teaching or back to basics refers to the long-established customs found in schools. Qualitative analysis was utilized for the data collected. Many respondents responded that by using the traditional method of teaching, the students could understand their lesson. The discussion was one of the most common factors that affect the students in terms of knowledge, skill development, and value formation. Students could present their work based on the discussion, motivating them to do the given task and to cooperate with each other. The researchers have proposed some teaching methods to help students learn more and achieve high academic performance in terms of Knowledge, Skills, and Values: use of visual aids aligned with the lesson during their discussion; use activities that would raise students’ interest to avoid boredom; and use some inspirational quotes.
