Perspectives on the Teaching Methodologies in Mountain Province State University Faculty Members

To help achieve better student engagement and learning outcomes, an effective teaching method plays a significant role in enhancing student engagement and academic success. This study examines the impact of interactive learning strategies—such as group activities, role-playing, simulations, case studies, and group discourse—on student motivation, engagement, and academic performance. The findings strongly suggest that students learn more effectively when instructional approaches actively and meaningfully involve them in the learning process. Faculty members who consistently employ student-centered strategies are perceived more effective in the learning experience. However, the study also identifies inconsistencies in teaching and assessment methods, which pose challenges and create uncertainties in the learning environment. It is recognized that not all students learn the same way, and the misalignment between instructional strategies and evaluation criteria can result in inequitable and less meaningful educational experiences. Student perspectives highlight the importance of ensuring coherence between how content is delivered and how student performance is measured. The study emphasizes the need for faculty members to adopt a balanced, flexible, and inclusive approach to teaching—one that accommodates various learning preferences and cultural backgrounds. Aligning teaching methodologies with assessment tasks ensures fairness, promotes deeper learning, and supports a more equitable and inclusive academic environment.
