Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The present paper attempted to evaluate the improving trends of teaching methods by examining their impact on the learning concepts and perception of students of the Concept Schools located in the Baldia Town, Karachi Pakistan. For this purpose, three research questions were formulated; 1) what sorts of teaching methods have been used for the students during the period of 2008 to 2012?; 2) What was the impact of these teaching methods on the learning concepts of the students?; 3) How do students perceive these teaching methods used in their classroom? To answer these questions, a checklist was used to examine the improvement made in teaching methods during 2008 to 2012. In order to examine the impact of teaching methods on students’ learning concepts, students of grade 8 were equally divided into two groups. Innovative teaching methods were used for group one and traditional teaching methods were used for second group to teach English subject. Their ability to learn concepts of English subject was evaluated by taking into account their performance in test conducted after one month. Their perception regarding teaching methods was checked through a question given to each student of both groups. Statistical analysis of the data reveals that students who were taught through innovative teaching methodologies performed good on conceptual paper than those who attended by traditional teaching methods. Most of the students perceived innovative teaching methods as good, whereas most of the students from control group perceived traditional teaching methods as un-satisfactory. This research has several implications for school administration and teaching staff.
