CHAPTER I

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MODERN WAY OF TEACHING IN THE

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF 11 GHT (HUMSS) AT THE PHINMA

UNIVERSITY OF PANGASINAN

“The important thing is to never stop questioning”

-Albert Einstein

Background of the Study

Our world has evolved in many aspects like the way we lived, our

society, technology even the way of teaching in our generation. Since the

ancient times, education has been a huge part of the community. This is

the way to pass down heritage, knowledge, and etc. As the years pass by

education system started to change, the way things and thought to the

students are more different and modernize base. A lot of schools

implements the modern way of teaching using computers, internet and

application for both teachers and students, etc. Our generation

upgrades a lot in terms of teaching. Many schools don’t use “manila

paper” for visual aids anymore they just use projector instead, their

assignments and projects can be passed on google classroom, a

dictionary is just one tap away with apps like Merriam Webster, even

scientific calculators are now converted to apps, So is modern way of

teaching efficient?
 2

The World Bank considers education as the primary tool for the

future developments in various communities and social settlements

across the world, and it has been dedicatedly working to improve

education-related activities since 1998. This also entails various forms of

learning funded by world governments and approved by practice. From

2011 to 2016 more than $10 million have been invested to improve

educational facilities. Another identical passage is according to Dr.

GopikumarShivaramaiah(2018) As an alternate to the lectures, there has

been a lot of modern teaching methods which prove to be more effective.

Some of the important modern teaching methods would include Problem-

Based Learning, Team-Based Learning, Small-group discussion, Flipped-

classroom projects. These are some of the advantages of modern teaching

methods:

Dr. Michael W. Kirst stated that Students are more motivated to

attend their classroom sessions and are less bored. Interactive classes

can avid forms of engagement during the learning process with the help

of augmented reality and virtual reality applications and tools. Students

are able to grasp even the most challenging concepts with ease and at a

much swifter pace. Learning can be catered towards specific child need

and thus it is highly customizable and can be personalized as well. The

learning method boosts the student’s creativity and curiosity factor

 3

making them more open towards acquiring knowledge and information

that is share with them. These teaching methods are considered very

effective learning tool as the active student participation is a must. These

methods lead to long-term knowledge retention. These methods are very

effective for students don’t excel working solo .These methods develop

teamwork and interpersonal communication skills. This brought the

researchers to another conclusion and theory that what if the teachers

were having a hard time teaching the children of the modern educational

system and these might have been the results of the low statistics of

academic performance of the generation today ranging from kindergarten

to senior high school. If both are coping up are slow the solution might

be there for us to research. In conclusion of these matters modern

education has indeed been a picturesque and more resilient than the

usual.

These modern methods want the students to come well prepared

about the subject. Student unpreparedness is the biggest hindrance for

learning in these methods. Not effective for a large group of students.

Students who are academically strong may provide more input and have

a better participation than other students. Hence, it may create a

learning imbalance among the students.

Nowadays, modern and active methods have attracted the attention

of many authorities and teachers. These mainly focuses on the learner

 4

and his interests and capabilities and the teacher tries to reinforce

capabilities of learners in listening, speaking, reading, writing, argument,

comparison, analysis, construction and creativity and presents the

content based on these issues (Akbari, 2010).

It is already the 21 st Century, we have crossed a threshold of

methods in teaching, and by far our century has been more advanced

and systematic, it has spread like wildfire and is irrevocable by means of

technology. It has been part of our lives, it is attached to us, it has been

considered as a necessity for learning the environment, it has helped us

to industrialize, helped us cope with unknown environments. By seeking

answers from the ambiguity of unanswered questions; we grasped

knowledge, and that really helped us.

So, this study aims to know the effectiveness of using the modern

way of teaching in academic performance of 11 GHT 8 HUMSS of

PHINMA University of Pangasinan.

RELATED LITERATURE

LOCAL:

Technology, as a term, had greatly changed the education

landscape even the way of teaching is no longer seen as the traditional

face to face delivery of lessons. Now students can also learn outside the

classroom via Internet. Through their gadgets, students nowadays they

can experience to travel all over the world without wasting money, they

feel like they have some kind of living tutor that can teach them through

the web. – A literature review on the current technology in education

[ CITATION Mannd \l 1033 ].

Information and communication technology (ICT) can also enhance

the quality of EDUCATION in several ways, also transformational tools

when used appropriately. Also enable kids to search for information they

need and to organize what they have found. Technology spread so far

that in the past 10 years or so on, it has witnessed a pace of disruption

in education that’s unmatched in previous decades [ CITATION Mannd \l 1033 ]

Books, curriculums, and even teachers are rapidly being replaced

or complemented by online resources, web.

The special Report of Lora P. Lina (2012, revealed that the

Philippines is experiencing 75% mobile penetration. One fifth of its

 12

population can also be found online. Of its population can also be found

online. That means more than 24 million Filipinos are able to log into

their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account regularly. Many Filipino

are active communicators in both SMS and internet.

According to Lota O. Florentino, the K to 12 curriculum has been

already implemented and part parcel of the MTB-MLE program in which

the mother tongue of the learner is used as a medium of instruction and

also taken as a subject [ CITATION Thend \l 1033 ]

According to Mike Cabigon (published 2015) in his published work

or article “State of English in the Philippines: Should We Be Concerned?”

stated that in maintaining good results of English language

implementation students, teachers are to improve their personal way of

teaching student or for short have it modernized so that students could

cope in the fast changing world[ CITATION Mik15 \l 1033 ].

In the same article a statement found saying that “Our future

teachers should ensure that English is a means of communication,

rather than a set of facts to be learned,” by Dr. Alonzo. So, the

department of education focused in making English learned holistically

and implemented early in k-12 [ CITATION Mik15 \l 1033 ].

Over the years, technology has created amazing tools and

resources, and changed many aspect of daily life. Modern technology

has paved the way for multi-functional devices like the smart watch and

the smart phone. Technology has also made our lives easier, faster and

more fun. And give us brand new devices in recent decades. With these

devices, we can do things like travelling without wasting money you just

need to use the internet platform, to order a food without going out.

Technology has changed how we entertain ourselves. Each technology is

likely to play a different role in student's learning [ CITATION rapnd \l 1033 ]

Proponents of educational technology contend that technology

accommodates individual learning rates. They also believe that the use of

technology in the classroom provides student with the opportunity to

excel - (Jobe& Peck, 2008; Bebell, 2005; Honey et al.,2005; Waddoups,

2004; Gahala, 2001; Healey, 2001).

Technology has been around for a very long time. Some school

districts have terminated technology programs following logistical and

technical problems.
 14

According to a published study by Loretta Carbone Tindall (1996),

as cited by Ravith (1987), during this time students are merely guided

only by books and not by teachers in Georgia (page10 chapter II). This

kind of education back then was not controlled by the merely commercial

publishers. Children are still controlled by teachers but only in the way

of what they must read like myths, legends and fables

Educational technology is also the way to enhance students. Also

can empower teachers and learners to develop the 21 st century skills

when it comes to learning. It also motivates students to get more

involved in learning activities and become more active and more

interested in learning. Moreover, the others believe that adapting to

such technologies can also inhance their communication with students,

reduce the teaching pressure caused by the course of material

preparation and make the lecture material available at the time of the

disscussion[ CITATION Mannd1 \l 1033 ]

Shiela Allan (2012) in her article “Positive Impact of Internet on

Communication Skills”, discussed that the internet is a powerful tool

that is revolutionizing children’s learning, communication and play. If

properly used the internet can serve as a medium for acceptable social

interaction [ CITATION All12 \l 1033 ].

RELATED STUDY

LOCAL:

The Philippine education is composed of public and private schools

weather its in elementary, highschool or college. Through time , the

government of the Philippines was able to add the K-12 and change the

old curriculums into a modern education thus tis also change the way of

teaching for every teacher in the Philippines [ CITATION www19 \l 1033 ].

Amado C. Ramos (Ph. D) stated at his journal from November

3,2015 to December 29, 2015 that at Pangasinan State university in

Bayambang, Pangasinan, only 37 (32.5%) of teacher respondents has

earned their master’s degree with doctorate units and 13 (15.7%) are

bachelor’s degree holders with master’s units. Having a complete

education is still a huge factor in being a teacher to be able to give the

students the quality of education they need.

According the study “Effective Teaching Strategies in the

Philippines” [ CITATION www \l 1033 ] there are teacher guidelines to be able to

be more sociable to students a teacher will encounter. Having to know

self like professional habits, attitude, and [Link] to get

along people, strong relationship to pupils and more. So, the teachers go

through personal check of themselves or self-improvement in now’

modern way of teaching they have to suit the kid’s personality and able

to capture their attention.

 16

The very crucial part in waiting research is to know where your

research comes, so it is importance to understand and analyze the

differences between the modern way of teaching and teaching using

technology. Modern way of teaching critically examined. The educational

material is the information or massage and the student is the receiver of

that information. In terms of the message via “chalk and talk”. [ CITATION

AJund \l 1033 ]

The learning mode tends to be positive and the teachers play little

part in their learning process (Orlich 1998).In such a lecture students

assume a purely passive role and their concentration fades (15-20 mins.)

According to Essays, UK. (November 2018), education is an

important pace of the social, political and economic development of any

country, so effective teaching is very essential. Effective teaching is

important because teaching is based on helping children progress from

one level to another in a more sociable interactive environment and to get

the approach right to get students to be independent learners (Muijus

and Reynolds, 2005). Furthermore this proves that modern way of

teaching is all about delivering the knowledge to kids more clear and in a

faster way possible [ CITATION UKend \l 1033 ].

Another identical similar from UKessays, effective teaching is important

because teaching is based on helping children progress from one level to

another in a more sociable interactive environment, and to get the

approach right, to get the students to be independent learners. Through

 18

this, we can make the students more eager to learning something

[ CITATION UKend \l 1033 ]

[ CITATION Kam14 \l 1033 ]a R. C. Patel Institute of Pharmaceutical

Education & Research in maharashta (may 2014) stated his research

“Modern Approaches and Methods in Teaching English Language” that

teaching must include two major components sending and receiving

information to the students, the newer trends seem to have emerged in

the field of education that have entirely changed the face of traditional

system of education. Recent trends, methodologies and

developments portray the vital role of education sector in general

with its internalization of the education process, stress on quality

above quantity, increase in the adoption of technologies, necessity

for professional talent etc[ CITATION Kam14 \l 1033 ].

THE IMPORTANCE MODERN TEACHING

“Knowledge is power” said the antagonist Peter Baelish of the

HBO’s Game of Thrones (Game of Thrones Episode 3 Season 1-Peter

Baelish) and indeed it is. Teaching has always been the pinnacle of

progress ages ago, it has been the way to pass down knowledge, and it

always will be. Teaching had different methods as time passed by. As
 19

diversity strikes, new ways of teaching blooms, from tablets, to

papyruses, to blackboards, and now recently to projectors. An effective

method of teaching can bring progress and prosperity, and a great

contribution for education.

Modern society demands high quality teaching and learning from

teachers. Teachers have to possess a great deal of knowledge and skills

with regards to both teaching and assessment practices, in order to meet

those demands and standards of quality education.
