TITLE OF ACTION TAILORING TEACHERS’ TEACHING STRATEGIES TO THE


RESEARCH PREFERRED LEARNING MODALITY OF 2ND YEAR BPED
STUDENTS OF WESTERN MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY
INTRODUCTION Teaching physical education is not just as easy as the other
subjects. It educates the students on many aspects to having healthy
lifestyles from nutrition and sports to kinesthetics where it requires a lot
of activities that needs to demonstrate physically. It has been observed
by the researchers that during the days they were students, even
though in the present, the higher institution implemented the student-
centered approach, they have encountered some professors who still
using the traditional approach, where they find it less interesting, and
the process of learning of wasn’t progressing. Therefore, the
researchers discovered a plan which adapting the students preferred
learning styles to design teaching strategy of the teacher to have an
effective teaching and learning.
As The Champion Initiative (2016) shared that these learners
from the 21st century embody an approach on which they master
content in producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a
wide variety of subjects. It is affirmed by DepEd Memorandum No. 99
Series of 2013, Section 5 under Curriculum and Development, where it
states that the curriculum shall be learner-centered, inclusive, and
developmentally appropriate; student-centered approach is being
added to the standards and principle to support academic instruction to
facilitate students to become active participants in their own learning
process.
In a classroom, teachers craft instructions in a way that best
serves each student’s learning styles. Different students have different
learning modalities. The “learning styles” theory makes a big leap,
suggesting that students will learn better if they are taught in a manner
that conforms to their preferences of learning. (University of Kansas,
2022) for it helps a teacher recognize the preferential way in which a
student processes and retains information. Hence, Students have
different preferences in the assimilation and processing of information.

The VARK learning style model introduced by Fleming includes a


questionnaire that identifies a person's sensory modality preference in
learning. This model classifies students into four different learning
modes: visual (V), aural (A), read/write (R), and kinesthetic (K).
(Prithishkumar, 2014) Additionally, one of the most significant
challenges in learning is for individuals to take responsibility for their
own learning. When learners take responsibility for their own learning,
they attribute meaning to the process of educational information,
leading to effective learning. (Nzesei, 2015)
Above all these, it is for this purpose that this study aims to
implement an action research wherein it will tailor the teachers teaching
strategies by determining the students learning modality.
A. Research Questions RESEARCH QUESTIONS
This study generally aims to identify the learning modalities of the
learners in order to develop a tailored lesson plan which considers the
preferred learning modality of the learners by: (a) appropriating
activities to be used in the lecture (b) and drafting assessment
strategies that will measure students’ performance.
Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the most preferred learning modality of the
students?
2. What are appropriate learning activities considering the
students learning modalities?
3. What are the assessment strategies that will measure the
students’ performance?

I. BRIEF REVIEW OF REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES


RELATED Gardner first outlined his theory in his 1983 book Frames of
LITERATURE AND Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, where he suggested that all
STUDIES people have different kinds of "intelligences." The theory of multiple
intelligence, which states that "people are smart in more ways than
one," has far-reaching implications for educators. Howard Gardner
proposed a new perspective on intelligence, which is quickly becoming
incorporated into school curricula.

According to Howard Gardner (1983) In his Multiple Intelligences


Theory, Gardner broadened the definition of intelligence to include
musical ability, spatial relations, and interpersonal knowledge, in
addition to mathematical and linguistic ability. Individual students'
needs, interests, and strengths make sense in a student-centered
approach, and each student has a unique intellectual profile.
The term learning styles is widely used to describe how learners
gather, sift through, interpret, organize, come to conclusions about, and
“store” information for further use. This model emphasizes that students
have different “preferred learning modes,” or ways of processing
information. The acronym VARK© stands for Visual, Auditory/Aural,
Reading/Writing Choice, and Kinesthetic learning styles.
The VARK Learning Style Inventory categorizes students into
one of these four categories based on how they prefer to receive and
deliver information (Lang, 2004) This model is a new development that
refers to the existing learning style preference model of VAK (Visual,
Aural, Kinesthetic). Fleming distinguishes the preferences of [Visual]
modality with [Read/Write] modality because those two models seem to
have different tendencies (Fleming, 2014).
According to Fleming (2006) and Fleming and Baume (2007) and
Drago and Wagner (2004) visual learners prefer to use materials such
as charts, graphs, and other symbols to take in and give out
information. For these learners, sight is very important especially when
taking information in and when organizing ideas. They tend to use
colors and highlighters when processing information and the use of
diagrams, drawing, and/or recall through pictures to reinforce
information and idea intake is recommended.
The read and write learners prefer to learn from printed textual
learning materials. They tend to use lists, headings, dictionaries,
glossaries, definitions, handouts, textbooks, and lecture notes during
taking in and giving out information or ideas (Fleming, 2006).
Aural learners on the other hand, prefer to learn through spoken
words lessons, talking, debate, and discussions. They tend to
understand more when information is explained to them. They learn
3|Page
Republic of the Philippines
Western Mindanao State University
COLLEGE OF SPORTS SCIENCE AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Normal Road, Baliwasan, Zamboanga City 7000

best through lectures, tutorials, debates, and discussions (Fleming,


2006; Tennent, Becker & Keho, 2005).
Kinesthetic learners prefer to learn through direct practice, hands-
on activities, and learning by doing (Fleming, 2006). These learners are
commonly referred to as “hands on learners''. They learn best through
activities such as field trips, tours, field immersion experiences,
apprenticeship, and activities where they can engage all senses when
taking in and giving out ideas or information (Ramayah, Sivanandan,
Nasrijal, Letchumanan & Leong (2009).
Finally, multimodal learners are students whose whole learning is
based on more than one style. These learners take longer to gather
and process information but tend to have a deeper and broader
understanding of the information presented (Fleming, 2006). Multimodal
learners can be further classified into bi model (VR, VK, AR, AK, AV,
KR), tri model (VAK, VAR, VRK, and ARK) and quad model (VARK).
According to Phil Schlecty (1994), students who understand the lesson
tend to be more engaged and show different characteristics such as
they are attracted to do work, persist in the work despite challenges
and obstacles, and take visible delight in accomplishing their work. In
developing students' understanding to learn important concepts,
teacher may use a variety of teaching strategies that would work best
for her/his students. According to Raymond Wlodkowski and Margery
Ginsberg (1995), research has shown no teaching strategy that will
consistently engage all learners. The key is helping students relate
lesson content to their own backgrounds which would include students'
prior knowledge in understanding new concepts.
Teachers, being the central figure in education, must be
competent and knowledgeable in order to convey the information they
can provide to their pupils. Good instruction is done in a very personal
manner. Effective teaching is concerned with the learner as a person
and his whole development. It is always true that the educators,
perform a variety of important functions in the classroom. Teachers are
regarded as the beacons of light in the classroom.

II. SCOPE AND SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS


LIMITATIONS The scope of this study focused on the learning styles of the
students and the teachers’ teaching strategies. This study has adapted
VARK’s Model questionnaire which identifies a learner’s sensory
modality preference in learning.
The participants were limited to those who are currently enrolled
at Western Mindanao State University taking Bachelor of Physical
Education. Specifically, the second-year students of the College of
Sport Science and Physical Education located in Normal Road
Baliwasan, Zamboanga City.

III. METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY


Research Design
The researcher utilized the exploratory – qualitative design. It is
exploratory because it sought to discover new strategies in teaching PE
classes. It is qualitative in approach because it does not involve any
statistical tools in this study.
Hence, this research design was referred to obtain information
about tailoring teacher’s teaching strategies to the preferred learning
modality of the learners.

Research Locale
The study was conducted under the perimeter of Western
Mindanao State University located at Normal Road, Baliwasan,
Zamboanga City.

Population and Sample


The total number of respondents were 50 2nd year BPED
College students of Western Mindanao State University. In this study
purposive sampling was utilize since respondents were purposively
chosen. Purposive sampling was used in cases where the specialty of
an authority can selects a more representative sample that can bring
more accurate result than by using other probability sampling technique

(Explorable.com, 2009).

Research Instrument
To fully seek the needed and necessary data for this study the
researchers adapted Neil D. Fleming’s VARK Model survey
questionnaire. It consists of 16 multiple choice questionnaires which
identify a person's sensory modality preference in learning.

Data Gathering Procedure


To be able to obtain the objectives of the research, the
researchers carefully employed the appropriateness of the procedures
on collecting data. Hence, the following steps were observed:
1. A permission letter was sent to the College Dean and
Adviser of the respondents to allow the researchers to
conduct the study.
2. After the approval of the Dean and Adviser, a student
consent letter was given to the respondents for the
conduct of the survey.
3. Immediately, the students were asked to answer the
online survey via “Google Forms,” adapting Fleming’s
VARK Model survey questionnaire.
4. The answers of the survey questionnaires by the
respondents were collected and tallied using simple
frequency and percentage count to determine the most
commonly preferred learning style by the students.
5. The data gathered from the results of the respondents
were analyzed in order to draft a tailored lesson plan
which incorporates students preferred learning styles for
an effective teaching strategy by the teacher.

According to the figure 1, about 34% of the respondents have


identified that they are kinesthetic learners, to which it categorizes as
the highest rank among the four learning modalities. it suggests that the
respondents or the 2nd year- Bachelor of Physical Education can learn
more about the lesson through direct-practice and hands-on activities.
It is followed by the Auditory learners which garners 26%. This
simply tells us that teachers should prepare lesson plan which involves
the use of sense of hearing like for instance, music, sound, and human
voice.
On the one hand, about 21% of the respondents identified
themselves as visual learners. This implies that teachers should
prepare teaching strategies which involves diagrams, graphs, and
pictures materials.
On the other hand, the remaining 19% of the respondents are
reading/writing learners. This suggests that they can obtain information
through printed textual learning materials, handouts, and dictionaries.
With the given results above, it has guided the teachers to tailor
their lesson plan which focuses on kinesthetic learning styles without
setting aside the other three learning styles (auditory, visual, and
reading).

Application while column no.2 is the applied learning activities of the
teacher for students effective learning. The third column describes the
type of learning styles being applied for each section of the 4A’s
learning.
Through the tailored lesson plan, the researchers have
developed appropriate learning activities considering the use of
activities that best apply to the learning styles of the students. The
activity that was used is “charades”. Charades is a pantomime game
that involves “acting out” a phrase or words without speaking. The
objectives of the activity are to guess the phrase as quick as possible.
In connection with the result, this activity was considered as an
approach to be a kinesthetic style.
Meanwhile, under analysis a Socratic method was used where
the teacher posted the question on the screen and let the students
answer by giving the response through a hand gesture. If they agree to
the statement, they will raise their right hand or show the heart
emoticon if they don’t agree they have to show their two hands or a sad
emoticon. Developed by the Greek philosopher, Socrates, the Socratic

Method is a dialogue between teacher and students, instigated by the


continual probing questions of the teacher, in a concerted effort to
explore the underlying beliefs that shape the students views and
opinions.
On the one hand, the applied learning activity in abstraction are
discussion and demonstration. During discussion a video presentation
was played, the students were asked to demonstrate the required
movements of the dance.
On the other hand, in the application section, the teacher groups
the students according to their learning styles based on the VARK
survey results. For the visual learners, the students were asked to
make use of creating a digital collage art, in which the students
combined various images to create or convey an idea or message. For
Auditory learners, the learners were asked to express their learning by
making a podcast. A podcast is a recording of audio discussion.
Through this activity, the students involved their sense of hearing as a
learning process. As for the Reading/Writing learners, the students
were asked to use an acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is a creative
use of writing which the first letter of each line spells out a word or a
message. The learners creatively arranged the words or phrases that is
connected to the topic. Lastly, for the kinesthetic learners, they were
asked to make a short video presentation which showcases body
movements through dance.

CONCLUSION
As a result, through determining the preferred learning style of
the student, the researchers concluded that the best technique to have
an effective teaching is to make the classroom be more student-
oriented with the used of unique strategies that can catch the attention
of the students to learn and actively participate. In addition, the
researchers also found out that the most preferred learning style of the
2nd year BPED student was the kinesthetic learning style where the
researchers dominantly created an activity that is kinesthetically
involved without setting aside the other three learning modalities,
(visual, auditory, reading/writing) in a classroom.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are hereby recommended based on the result and
implications of the study:

1. It is suggested that school administration could implement the


use of VARK model survey questionnaire to adopt and cater the
learning styles of each student and by that, teachers can design
their teaching strategies to the preferred learning mode of the
learners. In order to successfully implement the said suggestion,
it should be discussed to the department head.

2. Because we are now in the twenty-first century, where


technology evolves, online activities are more fascinating, and
learners can actively participate and communicate. The teacher
should include ICT integrated relevant activities and evaluation
methodologies in teaching. (e.g., Kahoot, Word Wall, Funbrain,

Scholastic.com, etc.)

3. The dean or the principal must continue to coordinate and


support with the teachers to be able to cater the students with
the preferred learning modality and to continue guiding the
students in their education.
