Most Preferred Teaching Strategies Utilized by Faculty Members in A State University

This study aimed to identify the preferred teaching strategies among faculty members at the College of Education of Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology. Descriptive data analysis, including frequency, mean, and standard deviation, were used to describe faculty preferences. The top five preferred strategies across all faculty members were Interactive Learning, Brainstorming, Group Dynamics, Multimedia/Courseware/Teach-ware, and Buzz Session. Preferences were also analyzed based on years of teaching experience. Faculty members with 10 years or fewer of service preferred Interactive Learning and Brainstorming, followed by Group Dynamics. Faculty with more than 10 years of service shared similar preferences for Interactive Learning and Brainstorming, along with Group Dynamics. Inferential statistical analyses using the Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant differences in preferences based on teaching experience. This suggests that faculty preferences for teaching strategies are consistent, regardless of tenure. The findings offer valuable insights into teaching preferences, which could guide curriculum development and faculty training programs.
