Abstract

Teachers are referred to as the focal figure in education. They must be competent and knowledgeable to impart knowledge to their students. The main concept of this study is to know if the students performed well in class with teaching styles used by their teachers. The study observed that students give their best to comply with their requirements and even participate in class if the teacher is effective for them. A qualitative research method was used in the study. Using a descriptive research design, it focused on the assessment of Grade 12 ABM students. The researchers used four academic variables to determine the effects of teaching styles on academic performance such as Recitation, Project participation, Examination, and Assignments. The data was collected by distributing survey questionnaires to the potential respondents using convenience sampling wherein the respondents were selected based on their availability to participate and join the study. The result of the study revealed that the teachers' teaching styles have its effect on the academic performance of the grade 12 ABM in terms of these variables: (1) Recitation-shows that if their teachers gave edible rewards, technology-based teaching, punishment for the students for incorrect answers, and elaboration of the topic more, the respondents encouraged to recite more. (2) Project participation-shows that the teacher increased the student’s project participation individually and as groups in presenting to the whole section and they were able to overcome their social anxiety. (3) Examination-shows that students are driven to aim for high scores because of the rewards given to them, as well as authoritative teaching, pressuring the students, exams motivate them to do their best. (4) Assignment-shows that the students didn’t focus on their assignment because their teacher will only read the lesson instead of elaborating the discussion. The results determined the effects of the teaching styles on the academic performance of Grade 12 Accountancy, Business, and Management. The studies recommend that school administrators should provide seminars for all the teachers to give them ideas and other advice to improve their teachings styles in class. This study also recommends related activities and other social gatherings and also workshops to teachers and students to improve student’s academic performance.
