 ABSTRACT

This study entitled “Teaching Styles of Teachers at Puelay Elementary

School” is pursued to determine the teaching styles of the respondents.

Furthermore, it is also focused on determining the significant relationship

between the teaching styles and the profile of the respondents in terms of age,

gender, monthly income, length of service, and position.

This study uses a descriptive correlational research method which falls

under quantitative. Descriptive research method is used in this study to uncover

the teaching styles of the respondents by assessing the questionnaire and the

correlational research method is also used to find out if there is a significant

relationship between the profile and the teaching styles of the respondents. Also,

in this method, the researchers did not attempt to manipulate the variables such

as the profile of the respondents.

The researchers used a scale of Always (A) = 3.25-4.00; Often (O) = 2.50-

3.24; Sometimes (S) = 1.75 -2.49; and Never (N) 1.00- 1.74 in the questionnaire

assessed by the respondents. After collecting and analyzing the data needed, it

was found out that most of the respondents are aged 41 and above. Females

have a greater quantity than males. Most of the respondents receive a monthly

income of Php. 20,000 to Php. 24,999. Also, 23 of the 30 respondents have 7

years and above length of service while only one of them has 11 months and

below. Lastly, 26 of the 30 respondents are currently Teachers I to III, and the

rest are Master Teachers I to IV. The researchers also found out that the

v
respondents often do the teaching styles and there is no significant relationship

between the profile and the teaching styles of teachers at Puelay Elementary

School. An action plan was also proposed by the researchers in order to

improve the teaching styles of the respondents.

With the conclusion above, the researchers recommended that the

teachers should make and improve their own useful and informative teaching

style. The students and readers can get informed and entertained by the teaching

styles. The future teachers can learn different teaching styles that they can use in

their future teaching years. Last of all, future researchers can include more

categories of teaching styles on the indicators.
