Kinds of Teaching Methods: Their Effects on Grade 11 STEM Student’s Academic
INTRODUCTION
We, humans, have evolved for a long time, from a primitive caveman to a tribal
society, and now to a more advanced and more intellectual species. From those times up to
now, we are constantly learning from our mistakes and getting more and more advance than
we are yesterday. We are constantly exploring and learning things. However, how do we
learn these things; do we need the guidance of others teaching us; the courage to explore the
unknown, or by constantly trying to correct our mistakes. This study refers to the teaching
methods that are known up to this date. This study hopes to learn different strategies and
teaching methods that we can use on this day, more importantly right now because it will
decide the quality of the next generation of us; this is important to the future of us, humans.
On November 17, 2019, a virus breakout in Wuhan, China caused the deaths of
thousands of people in a day, and up to now, there are still people suffering from this
pandemic disease. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a mass death in the whole world.
Additionally, the economy of countries has collapsed, causing the many to struggle to eat
three times a day, and many are affected because of this COVID-19 pandemic, especially
students of nations. The Department of Education (DepEd), despite the public health threat
and quality education services to its learners in accordance with the State's constitutional
mandate to establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of
education relevant to the needs of the people, the country, and society at large.

The COVID-19 Pandemic is a huge challenge to education systems (Daniel S. J.,
2020). It has been proven that after the COVID-19 Pandemic struck the Philippines, the
educational sector took a hit and is one of the most affected sectors (Tria J. Z., 2020). It is
now facing a challenge that needs to be tackled as soon as possible. Because of that, the
education sector took extreme measures. The new normal is the adaptation of us to fight the
COVID-19 Pandemic to continue our normal lives, and in the education sector, online class,
blended learning, learning, and studying in your own house is the new normal. In the new
normal, utilizing modern technologies to digitize the whole education sector is a must
(Ahmed, S., Taqi, H.M.M., Farabi, Y.I. et al., 2021). In light of the new phenomenon in
education, the informants felt unprepared, but as to their experiences, they could adapt to
Educators should utilize appropriate and effective teaching methods to create desired
changes in learners; achieving desired changes in learners through preferable methods must
be appropriate to the subject matter. Furthermore, teaching approaches are most effective
when they are tailored to the needs of the students (since each student interprets and answers
The use of computers in education has undergone a massive transformation in the last
decade, with various forms ranging from the use of computers in education to the use of the
internet in education, and finally, the concept of blended learning, which relies on technology
according to Bani Hamad (2012), many education-based lecturers suggest the urge of making
a few critical adjustments in the learning memorandum to keep up with the age of computer
and information technology, but there is no agreement on the type and amount of the required
modification. Most parents, students, and teachers believe that the preparation of young
3
generations and arming them with the basics and uses of computers as well as the adaptation
of printed learning materials (modular) is the most appropriate way to rehabilitation so they
can stay in the changing world. Additionally, the prevailing viewpoint in developed societies
is that schools have no choice but to adapt to the information age because this adjustment has
become necessary for continued survival and progress. However, students are now constantly
trying to learn and study in their houses because of the fear of the virus spreading and
relationships and society are now on the internet. Upon examining the possible alternative
learning methods to continue giving basic education to learners, this leads to more flexible
learning modalities, which are all categorized under the blended learning system. On the
other hand, it is very evident that other students are having a hard time coping with the new
education system as they have to take classes every morning in their houses, online, answer
modules, and need to try to learn even if they don’t understand what their teachers are saying
because of the low internet, as well as the teachers accidentally pressuring the students. This
leads to students becoming stressed and depression have now caused many students' life. This
study hopes to help the educators to realize how important for students to find their
comfortable learning modalities and give the best teaching method that is simple but striking
enough to deliver an effective platform to enhance the abilities of the learners to adopt more
delivery modalities (LDMs) to ensure the continued delivery of learning opportunities to its
learners while protecting the health and safety of both its personnel and learners, which can
be done through blended learning and distance learning under its Order No. 012, s. 2020 or
the “Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) for School Year
2020-2021 in the light of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency” (DepEd, 2021).

The following are among the learner characteristics or backgrounds examined for
social and family support, attitude toward blended learning, gender, and age. We will look
into learner interactions, face-to-face support, learning management system tools, and
blended learning outcomes would assist planners of such learning environments in making
the essential groundwork preparations for building blended learning as an innovative medium
for learning. Moreover, research on teaching and learning constantly endeavors to examine
the extent to which different teaching methods enhance growth in student learning.
The present study is concerned with a problem that has not been given enough
attention in the schools of the country. It is hoped that after this study, may the teachers spend
time reading it as it will help them understand the challenges the students are facing and may
In this time of Pandemic, we need a plan to continue our education so that our future
adult generation of students will be excellent and, at the same time, be the future of our
country. The DepEd of the Philippines designed a Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan
According to the DepEd’s Secretary, Professor Briones (2020), it is not the work of
one person alone. It is truly an integrated output of the Department. The BE-LCP is the result
of consultations with partners and advisers, legislators, executives and directors, teachers,
parents, learners, and the general public. All these contributions were integrated and
harmonized by the Executive Committee and Management Committee under her direction
5
and drafted by her Undersecretary and Chief of Staff. The key elements of the learning
strategies that shall operationalize the BE-LCP are the streamlining of the K to 12 Curriculum
into the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs), and allowing for multiple learning
delivery modalities such as distance learning and blended learning, either on top of or in
considers a variety of circumstances and lays up a plan for students to continue their
adjustment. It's a backup plan that lays out all that can be done in case of a crisis or a disaster
plan is easier than before. There are plenty of apps to work on and different websites to
research. However, again, while it is simple to devise and find ways, the most effective
learning continuity plan is the one that considers the material circumstances of those who will
It is believed that each person has a different level of understanding and learning
preferences, but the help of effective teaching, sharpens their critical thinking while feeding
them with capacity and ability enhancement. As such, to deliver a basic education effectively,
it should hold both learning and teaching of knowledge and the appropriate behavior and the
ability to use certain technological principles and information. Based on this assumption, the
implemented nationwide. This will allow the department to focus instruction on the most
6
important competencies that learners must learn, as well as alleviate the effort of turning
classroom-based learning resources into remote learning resources. The MELCs promise to
help schools navigate the limited number of school days by offering adequate instructional
space further.
In line with the DepEd’s Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), these
modalities intend to deliver an effective method of nurturing learners with the appropriate
materials to fit with their capacity and capability to provide. Likewise, the department
proposed these modalities to provide a wide range of preferences to be chosen so that no one
among the learners will be left behind as the education sector adopt a new strategy to enhance
and continue bringing basic education to its learners amid this pandemic.
- It is a type of learning delivery in which the teacher and the students are physically
separated during instruction. Modular Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning
(ODL), and TV/Radio-Based Learning are the three different types of this modality.
- It pertains to the modality wherein there’s an individualized instruction that allows learners
to utilize modules, either in print or soft copy. Likewise, it is still the teacher in charge of
from this modality, any relative/family member may act as a supporting educator as well.
7
- Unlike the Modular Distance Learning, Online Distance Learning necessitates the use of
various technologies, gadgets particularly, like smartphones, desktop computers, and laptops,
as well as requires participants (both teachers and students) to have a good and stable internet
which makes it more interactive than the other kinds of distance learning.
- This can be utilized along with the MDL to better assess the knowledge to be obtained and
build a better understanding of particular lessons embedded in the module without actually
relying too much on ODL. The Department of education assured during 2021 that while Self-
Learning Modules are available in schools and field offices, they stressed that these are also
converted into DepEd TV episodes and radio-based lessons for more flexibility of the
modality. The Department intends to effectively integrate TV- and radio-based materials into
- It is the traditional learning method used before the pandemic became a huge problem for
the educational system. It simply refers to the physical interactions of both teachers and
students inside the school. There are opportunities for active engagement, immediate
feedback, and learners' socio-emotional development are the possible opportunities under the
- This is a type of learning delivery that combines face-to-face learning with any or all of the
following: modular distance learning, online distance learning, and TV/Radio-based learning.

This allows schools to limit face-to-face instruction, maintain social distance, and reduce the
Education is considered imperative for not only the progress of the individuals, but also
for the development of community and nation. In order to bring about improvements in all
aspects, and utilize modern and innovative techniques and methods, individuals need to
The research results conclude that 1.digital learning presents better positive effects on
learning motivation than traditional teaching does, 2.digital learning shows better positive
effects on learning outcome than traditional teaching does, 3.learning motivation reveals
motivation appears remarkably positive effects on learning gain in learning outcome (Lin &
Chen, 2017).
According to Blazar and Kraft (2017), students’ attitudes and behaviors are predicted
by teaching practices most proximal to these measures, including teachers’ emotional support
and classroom organization. However, teachers who are effective at improving test scores
often are not equally effective at improving students’ attitudes and behaviors. These findings
and the need to identify strategies for improving the full range of teachers’ skills.
Student performance, student progress and student potential are critical for measuring
learning results, selecting learning materials and learning activities. However, existing work
doesn’t provide enough analysis tools to analyze how students performed, which factors
would affect their performance, in which way students can make progress, and whether
9
Kim and Seo (2018) conducted a meta-analysis by synthesizing the results of 16
studies involving 4,130 teachers to explore whether or not the relationship between teacher
efficacy and students’ academic achievement was influenced by the scale used to measure
teacher efficacy, and/or by the subfactors of teacher efficacy, length of teaching experience,
location of the school, or the students’ educational level. The results showed that the mean
relationship between teacher efficacy and students’ academic achievement was significant but
Vijayan (2021) stated that educators had and should continue, to go to extraordinary
lengths to ensure that the quality and content can be delivered in an effective way, to ensure
that learning outcomes of students are met during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from this,
learnings could also be gleaned from the perspective of the student in a broad range of
about desirable changes in learners through use of appropriate methods. Indicated that in
order to bring desirable changes in students, teaching methods used by Educators should be
best for the subject matter. Furthermore, sustained that teaching methods work effectively
mainly if they suit learners’ needs since every learner interprets and responds to questions in
a unique way. As such, alignment of teaching methods with students’ needs and preferred
The sudden shift of learning method has increasingly impacted the Educators.
Ultimately this has caused the huge difficulty in learning and teaching. The way of how
teachers engage themselves in amidst the middle of pandemic and the hardships they tackled
in transitioning from traditional way of learning to online learning and what they encounter
through that time. The most crucial concerns include the comprehension of learning content,
10
student engagement, and internet connectivity, which were likewise claimed by the students
that affect their academic performances (Tarrayo, Paz & Gepila, 2021).
In the study of Alemdag and Cagiltay (2018), reported that multimedia is designed for
learning refers to the representation from words and images in different contexts. They are
designed to assist learning with tools which can be used in teaching presentation, class room,
laboratory learning, e-learning, and virtual reality, consequently learners are allowed to
According to Lapada et al. (2020), in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic threat in
the Philippines, educators, students, and schools are still coping and adjusting to distance
learning education. This study investigated teachers’ knowledge of the COVID-19 pandemic,
their perceptions of their respective schools’ preparedness, and their reactions to the

Type of Research
The researchers will use a mix of qualitative and quantitative research design.
In addition, it is the idea, understanding, insights and opinions of the person on a specific
issue being studied and cannot be measured by numbers. Furthermore, the goal of this
research is to investigate and understand the in-depth meaning of the said circumstance.
Quantitative projects involve large sample sizes, concentrating on the quantity of responses,
as opposed to gaining the more focused or emotional insight that is the aim of qualitative
research. The standard format in quantitative research design is for each respondent to be
asked the same questions, which ensures that the entire data sample can be analyzed fairly.
The data is supplied in a numerical format, and can be analyzed in a quantifiable way using
experience of the individual from one specific event into a different description of the
phenomenon. In a phenomenological study, the researchers interpret all data they have
gathered from the experience of the individual described by the participants. According to
extensively in the field of social science that aims to investigate personal experiences. The
researchers chose this approach to better understand and determine if there are any reasons
and factors that Grade 11 STEM students and teachers effects academic performance by

Respondents and Sampling Method
The population of this research comprises of the Senior High School Grade 11 STEM
students of San Luis National High School. The method to be used is the simple random
sampling where in the sample size is 15 students. We will be using the simple random
sampling so that every student in STEM 11 will have the chance of being selected as sample.
Thomas (2020) defined simple random sampling as a random sampling where each member
of the population has an exactly equal chance of being selected as member of the sample
known as the simple random sample. This method is the most straightforward of all the
probability sampling methods, since it only involves a single random selection and requires
little advance knowledge about the population. Because it uses randomization, any research
performed on this sample should have high internal and external validity. According to
Simkus (2022), the purpose of simple random sampling is to provide each individual with an
equal chance of being chosen and is meant to provide a representation of a group that is free
Instruments
The instrument used to collect data was in the form of survey questionnaire (Close-
ended questions) via google form and the use of smartphone to record the respondent’s
answers in the open-ended questions during the interview. This is used to gather data faster
than other methods. The researchers produced some of their own set of questions. The outline
of the questionnaire is relevant to the topic, effects and importance of teaching methods. The
researchers saw that there is sufficient information to collect data to make up for all the
details of the problem and to answer all the specific questions under the statement of the
problem. Then the researchers will conclude all the data statistics to be finalized.
17
Data Collection Procedure and Ethical Considerations
Following the completion, validation, and approval of the research proposal, the
researchers will seek permission to perform the study from the Principal and Target
scheduled surveys and interviews will be done to gather any relevant information, and
studies.
The surveys along with the one-on-one interviews will be conducted by the
researchers with the assistance of reliable and knowledgeable individuals. The survey will be
designed in a perceptive and ethical way. On the other hand, the one-on-one interviews will
questions and to provide for honest responses. The interviewers will also assist the
participants in telling their accounts. The interviews will be structured, which means that the
conduct of questioning follows a particular sequence and has a well- defined content, and the
interviewers will not ask questions that are not part of the questionnaire, but they can ask the
interviewees to clarify their answers. All information provided by participants will be treated
with complete confidentiality and secrecy, as the researchers understand how important it is
to keep participant’s identities private or anonymous, and the assurances extend beyond
protecting their names to avoiding the use of self-identifying statements and information.
Data Analysis
The data gathered by the researchers will be analyze, explained and finalized using the
content analysis. Content analysis is a research method for examining of words in a specific
topics or concepts in qualitative and quantitative data. Using this method, researchers can
18
analyze the meaning of specific words, themes, or concepts. Data can be gathered through
analyzing data using content analysis, the text must be coded first into manageable code
categories to summarize the data for proper analysis (Columbia University 2019). After
collecting data through survey questionnaire via google form and interviews, all data and
information will be properly coded and examined to ensure the validity of the results.
