Teaching Strategies and Students’ Attitudes Toward Active Learning among BEEd Students

Abstract

Teaching strategies play a vital role in shaping students' attitudes toward active learning by encouraging them to engage in interactive, participatory, and hands-on activities. This study aimed to determine the significant influence of teaching strategies on the attitudes of Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students toward active learning experiences at St. Francis Xavier College. Employing a quantitative research method with a descriptive-correlational design, the study gathered data from first-year to third-year BEEd students officially enrolled during the second semester of Academic Year 2024–2025. The weighted mean was used to describe students' perceptions, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Linear Regression analyses were employed to determine the relationship and influence of teaching strategies on students' attitudes. Results revealed that students positively perceived teaching strategies that promoted active learning. Moreover, findings indicated a significant relationship between teaching strategies and students' attitudes toward active learning. Regression analysis confirmed that these strategies significantly influenced student engagement and enthusiasm for learning. These findings highlight the critical role of effective instructional methods in developing a dynamic and engaging classroom environment. The research is presented in an organized manner, with sound methodology and trustworthy statistical results.
