Introduction and Its Background
Introduction
The teaching style of a teacher is an important component of the educational
process since it affects student’s learning experiences, academic accomplishment, and
general development. It includes the tactics, strategies, and approaches used by
educators to convey knowledge, aid comprehension, and develop critical thinking in
students.
The study of distinct teaching styles and their impact on student learning has
received a lot of attention in the world of education. Hattie (2009) conducted a
prominent study that analyzed over 800 teaching styles and their effect sizes on student
accomplishment. The study discovered that some teaching styles, such as direct
instruction and explicit teaching, had a significant favorable impact on student learning
results. These techniques entail the teacher delivering clear and structured instruction,
modeling concepts and abilities, and offering immediate feedback to pupils.
The majority of researchers who have characterized teaching style refer to it as
a preference for teaching behavior and an alignment between an educator's teaching
practices and teaching beliefs (Heimlich and Norland,1994). These learning styles
involve students actively engaged in the learning process and taking responsibility for
their learning. It promotes communication skills, empathy, and the capacity to work
effectively in groups, all of which are important in the real world and future
employment.
The concept behind teaching style is that it is the most successful and effective
manner of presenting information as long as the style is appropriate for the topic at hand
and the students. Teaching approaches foster subject-specific knowledge, skills, and
values. In other words, teaching style describes how a teacher organizes instruction and
the classroom environment (Trowbridge & Bybee, 1996). In this study, the researchers
classified the different teaching styles as Lecture style, Demonstrator style, Facilitator
style, Group style, and Blended style (Gill, 2013).
Lecture-style teaching has been a prominent method of delivering information
to students in the education system for centuries. This traditional approach involves the
instructor standing in front of a classroom and speaking to the students in a one-way
communication style. Demonstrator-style teaching is a method of imparting knowledge
in which the teacher employs a range of approaches to show concepts and processes to
students. This method of teaching is frequently distinguished by hands-on instruction,
with the teacher leading the class through a series of demonstrations, illustrations, and
explanations.
On the other hand, the facilitator style of teaching serves as a guide, providing
guidance, resources, and feedback to help students develop their understanding and
skills. As students are given the freedom to explore and find knowledge on their own,
this approach helps them to become independent and self-directed learners. Group-style
teaching involves dividing students into groups and enables them to work together.
Working in groups allows the students to voice out their thoughts and opinions, listen
to others, and learn from different perspectives. This type of teaching style promotes
communication skills that are necessary for success in the real world. Lastly, a blended
teaching style is a semi-structured lesson plan, wherein the flow of teaching is flexible
and spontaneous activities are included for the students.
“Teaching styles are supposed to define the behaviors that teachers exhibit as
they interact with learners” (Fischer & Fischer, 1979). This study aims to assess the
relationship between the teaching styles of teachers and the academic performance of
Millennium Christian High School of Cavite Inc., students in Quipper for the school
year 2023-2024. Through this study, students can become more empowered to support
teaching strategies that best meet their unique learning needs and preferences.
Background of The Study
As the world continuously advances, teaching methods are discovered and
evolve. Teachers use varying teaching methods to impart knowledge to their students.
A child’s environment influences their attitude. According to Werang et al. (2022),
teachers play a significant role in motivating students and their academic performance.
The actions of a teacher can influence a student’s learning comprehension and impact
their student's performance. Students have been evaluating their instructors since the
1920s to improve the educational quality with their feedback (Keerthigha & Singh,
2023).
This correlational research study aims to determine whether a relationship exists
between the academic performance of its students on Quipper and the teaching styles
of the teachers at Millennium Christian High School of Cavite Inc. It is imperative to
conduct correlational research to explore the relationship between the variables
involved and analyze the data gathered to determine the association between them. The
way people learn is different, and the style of instructors teaching also varies. There are
cases in which a teacher’s way of teaching does not align with their student’s learning
preferences and could result in terrible academic performances (Chetty et al., 2019).
The results of this study will provide a deeper understanding of the student's
attitudes toward the teaching styles based on their academic performance in Quipper.
This study aims to examine whether there is a significant relationship between the
variables. This study has the potential to contribute to educational institutions regarding
the instructional practices and curriculum design of teachers and the significance it
holds on a student’s academic performance. This research may also help teachers
identify effective teaching strategies that promote better student academic outcomes.
Theoretical Framework
A Summary of Grasha’s Teaching Styles The following passages summarize
definitions of teaching styles in the work of A.F. Grasha (1996):
Lecturer/Expert: Possesses knowledge and expertise that students need. Expert teaching
style strives to maintain status as an expert among students by displaying detailed
knowledge. The professor-as-expert attempts to challenge students to enhance their
competence. The expert concentrates on transmitting information and requires that
students be prepared to learn and use that information. The expert’s information,
knowledge, and skills are the combined advantage of this teaching style. The
disadvantage is that, if overused, the display of knowledge may intimidate less
experienced students. Also, the display of knowledge and skills may not always reveal
their underpinnings.
Formal Authority: Possesses status among students because of knowledge, and
role as a faculty member. In this style, professors provide positive and negative
feedback. The professor establishes learning goals expectations and rules of conduct,
providing students with a learning structure. Students concentrate on correct,
acceptable, and standard methods. The advantage is that the focus is on clear
expectations and acceptable methods, while the disadvantage is that a strong investment
in this style can lead to rigid, standardized, and less flexible ways of managing students
and their concerns.
Personal Model: Believes in teaching by personal example. This professor
establishes a prototype for thinking and behavior, then oversees, guides, and directs by
showing how to do things. A Personal Model teacher also encourages students to
observe, and then emulate the instructor's approach. The advantage is an emphasis on
direct observation and emulation of a role model. The disadvantage is that some
professors may believe that their approach is the best way, leading some students to
feel inadequate if they cannot live up to the expectations and standards of the method
they see.
Facilitator: Emphasizes the personal nature of teacher-student interactions. The
professor guides and directs students by asking questions, exploring options, and
suggesting alternatives. The professor encourages students to develop criteria to make
informed choices. The professor concentrates on the overall classroom goal of
developing the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility while
providing students with as much support and encouragement as possible. The advantage
is the personal flexibility provided by a professor’s focus on students' needs and goals.
This allows the student to explore options and alternative courses of action. The
disadvantage is that this style can be time-consuming.
Delegator: This professor develops students' capacity to function autonomously.
This educator encourages students to work on projects independently or as part of
autonomous teams. He or she is available upon request as a resource person. This
approach has the advantage of helping students perceive themselves as independent
learners, but it may cause professors to misread student's readiness for independent
work. Some students may become anxious when given autonomy.
The few other current studies focus on teaching approaches, such as teachers as
managers (Anoloui, 1995), training delivery techniques (Buch and Bartley, 2002), and
experiential learning theory (Kolb, Boyatsis, and Mainamelis 2002). With the current
shortage of literature on teaching styles, Grasha’s definitions are one of the few useful
tools professors have. Using the definitions as a guide, educators may see their teaching
styles, and identify their strengths and weaknesses.

The education system at Millennium Christian High School of Cavite Inc., is
constantly changing and evolving. With the new teaching styles and methods being
introduced to cater to the diverse learning needs of students, teachers must understand
the relationship between their teaching styles on the performance of their students,
particularly in Quipper.
Quipper is an online platform used for teaching and learning that includes
interactive lessons, quizzes, and other resources for students to access. By
understanding the relationship between the different teaching styles and student's
performance in Quipper, the school can determine the most effective approaches to
enhance learning outcomes.
The teaching styles that will be examined in this study are lecture teaching style,
demonstrator teaching style, facilitator teaching style, group teaching style, and blended
teaching style. The lecture style is characterized by the teacher delivering information
to students through verbal communication in a more traditional, one-way manner. The
demonstrator style involves the teacher demonstrating concepts and processes, and then
having students imitate the process or apply learning through hands-on experiences.
The facilitator style emphasizes the role of the teacher as a guide or facilitator,
providing resources and support for students to construct their understanding. The
group style involves students working collaboratively in groups, encouraging peer
learning and discussion. Finally, the blended style creates a learning environment
wherein the teacher allows a slower pace of learning and a flexible lesson plan prepared
for the students. The researchers will also gather the profile of the respondents in terms
of their grade level and section.

teaching style as its independent variable and the Quipper performance of students as
the dependent variable for their paper. These variables will be measured and analyzed
using a percentage formula, weighted mean, and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient with
Excel and Jamovi. Using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, the researchers will
identify the mean and deviation from the data collected and assess whether the
relationship is significant or not. The researchers will test the research hypothesis and
determine whether a relationship exists between a teacher’s teaching style and a
student’s performance. The study will determine whether there is a relationship and
assess if the relationship is positive or negative.
Subject of the Study
The research subjects include Junior and Senior High School students of the
Millennium Christian High School of Cavite Inc., and the teaching faculty of the
institution. The research involves the cooperation of the students as the study aims to
assess their performances in Quipper. Quipper is the online learning platform replacing
physical books as the study guide for the students and teachers alike at Millennium
Christian High School of Cavite Inc. The research aims to gather 150 respondents for
the survey questionnaires to participate in the study to be conducted for the school year
2023-2024 at Millennium Christian High School of Cavite Inc.
Instrumentation
The researchers will be using a Printed-Out Questionnaire as a survey
questionnaire composed of several questions regarding the relationship between the
teaching styles of teachers to the student's performance in Quipper. By employing
printed-out questionnaires, researchers can reach a wider range of participants who may
not have easy access to online surveys. This inclusivity is particularly important when
conducting research in communities where technological resources are limited, thereby
ensuring that the sample population is more representative.
The first part of the survey will focus on the profile of the respondents such as
their grade level and section. The second and third parts of the survey will delve into
the teaching styles that the respondents prefer and the respondents result in Quipper
using the 4-point Likert scale.
Procedure of Data Gathering
To gather the data, the researchers will use a simple random sampling technique
to determine the respondents of this study. The population of interest needs to be
identified, which in this case is the students of Millennium Christian High School of
Cavite Inc., who are using the Quipper learning platform. Once the population is
determined, a sampling frame needs to be established, which is a list of all the students
eligible to participate in the study. After the sampling frame is created, a random
selection process is used to choose a sample from the population. The researchers will
use a random number generator which ensures every member of the population has an
equal chance of being selected. Finally, the selected sample is then used to gather the
necessary data through the survey questionnaire.
In the first part of the questionnaire, the researchers will gather the profiles of
the respondents. The following 4-point Likert scale is to be utilized in the second and
third parts of the questionnaire: Strongly Agree/Very Satisfied (4), Agree/Satisfied (3),
Disagree/Unsatisfied (2), Strongly Disagree/Very Unsatisfied (1). After analyzing and
interpreting the data, the researchers will now decide if there is a significant relationship
between the two variables of this study and whether the null hypothesis is rejected or
not.
Statistical Treatment
For the computation and presentation of the data that will be collected, the researchers
will utilize the following statistical treatments: percentage, weighted mean, and pearson
correlation coefficient.
To determine the number of responses to the specific question, the researchers will use
frequency distribution once the data gathered through the questionnaire has been tallied,
summed up, and tabulated.
The percentage formula will be used for measuring the profile of the respondents.
The formula is: P= f/n x 100
where: P- percentage
f- frequency
n- number of respondents
The mean will be applied once the percentage of the data obtained from the respondent
profile has been calculated.
The weighted mean will be used to compute the average of each response per question
or statement in the second and third parts of the questionnaire.
The formula is: X= Σ f1x1 + f2x2 + ... + fnxn)/ n
where: X- weighted mean
Σ- summation
f- frequency
x- points
n- number of respondents
The verbal interpretation of the 4-point Likert scale is to be utilized so that the
researchers can easily analyze and interpret the data gathered.
4-point Likert scale:
Points Range Verbal Interpretation
(4) 3.25 - 4.00 Strongly Agree
(3) 2.50 – 3.24 Agree
(2) 1.75 – 2.49 Disagree
(1) 1.00 – 1.74 Strongly Disagree
Table 1.1 4-Point Likert Scale Range and Interpretation on the second part of the
questionnaire.
4-point Likert scale:

(4) 3.25 - 4.00 Very Satisfied
(3) 2.50 – 3.24 Satisfied
(2) 1.75 – 2.49 Unsatisfied
(1) 1.00 – 1.74 Very Unsatisfied
Table 1.2 4-Point Likert Scale Range and Interpretation on the third part of the
questionnaire.
To know if there is a significant relationship between the teacher's teaching style and
the student's performance in Quipper, the researchers will use the Pearson Correlations
Coefficient (r). This study will gather data that are measured on an interval scale.
The formula is:
where: N - total number of the respondents
Σxy - sum of xy
Σx - the sum of responses of the respondents in each
teaching style in the second part of the questionnaire.
Σy - the sum of responses of the respondents in each
teaching style in the third part of the questionnaire.
Σx² - sum of squared x
Σy² - the sum of squared y
To get the X and Y for the Pearson r formula, the researchers will count the responses
that will fall under the Likert scale and then multiply them to the equivalent value of
the scale. The same process will apply to other scales. All the answers will be summed
up and divided by the number of questions or statements in each teaching style.
To determine if there is a positive, negative, or neutral correlation, the Interpretation
Table of Pearson r is to be utilized.
After the researchers obtained the computed r, the tabular value will be
determined. This study will utilize a two-tailed test as the result will fall on both
directions: positive or negative correlation.
The formula is: DF = N-2
where: N - total number of the respondents
DF – degrees of freedom
The researchers will look at the table of critical values and compare the computed r to
the tabular value. If the computed r is higher than the tabular value then the null
hypothesis is rejected and there is a significant relationship. If the tabular value is higher
than the computed r then the null hypothesis cannot be rejected and there is no
significant relationship.
