IMPACT OF DIFFERENT TEACHING APPROACHES AND STRATEGIES

OF THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSORS OF UNIVERSITY

OF MAKATI PERCEIVED BY 2ND YEAR
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The advancement of modern technology nowadays has brought new
trends in different schools. The students evaluation is needed to come up with a
different teaching approach, strategies, behavior and attitude of teachers. The
term teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and
management strategies used for classroom instruction. Your choice of teaching
method depend on what fits you your educational philosophy, classroom,
demographic, subject area(s) and school mission statement. Teaching theories
primary fall into two strategies or approaches teacher centred and student
centred.
First, teacher-centred approach to learning where teachers are the main
authority figure in this model. Student are viewed as empty vessels whose
primary role is to passively receive information (via lecture and direct instruction)
wit an end goal of testing ad assessment. It is the primary role of teachers to
pass knowledge and information onto their students. In this model, teaching and
assessment are viewed as two separate entities. Students learning ensured
through objectively scored tests and assessments. Second, student-centred
approach to learning where the teachers primary role is to coach and facilitate
student learning and over-all comprehension of material. Student learning is

measured through both formal and informal forms of assessment, including

group projects, students portfolios, and class participation. Teaching and
assessment are connected; student learning is continuously measured during
teacher instruction. The strategies should depend not only on the subject matter
but also by the nature of the learner.
The idea of having professors with different teaching approach is not new
for the students. The professors have their own way on how to impart knowledge
to the students. Professors want to ensure that student not only understand the
concepts and theories that they are taught, but also that they can apply those
learning to different situation that they are facing and will face in the future. We
cant deny the fact that they have a big contribution to the improvements of the
students. In order for the students to be successful in school and in life, teachers
need to constantly make changes to improve the teaching strategies based on
new methods that are introduced to make sure that the students are invested,
engaged and committed to learning.
The OBTL or Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning program, is
focused not on what teacher intends to teaching but rather the emphasis is on
what is outcome from the learner of that teaching is intended to be. Due to the
implementation of this new curriculum in the University of Makati the faculty are
feeling the pressure to lecture less, to make the learning environments more
interactive and more interesting, to integrate technology into the learning
experience and to use effective learning strategies.

Accounting is not an easy subject to learn as well as to teach. We can say

that teaching the said subject is a big challenge for the professors because they
need to determine which strategy works best for each student. We are aware that
students are responsible for their own learning but it is the professors
responsibility to provide resources which enable the student to learn efficiently
and effectively.
According to an article entitled Different Teaching Styles and How they
affect your students

by Natasha Quinonez (2014) that no two teachers will

teach in the same way, just as no two students learn something in the same way.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The main inquiry of the study is to determine the impact of different

teaching approach and strategies of accounting professors in University of
Makati as an instrument to be able to know the effectiveness of different teaching
approach. Specifically it will seek the following questions:
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents of the study in terms
of:
1.1 Age
1.2 Working status
2. What are the factors affecting the impact of different teaching strategies of
accounting professors to the management accounting students in
University of Makati?
2.1 Lecture
2.2 Participation
2.3 Schedule
2.4 Grading System
2.5 Language
2.6 References
2.7 Facilities
3. What is the significant relationship between the demographic profile of the
study of the respondents to the study of the impact of different teaching
approach and strategies of accounting professors in UMak?
4. What is the present problem in the impact of different teaching strategies
of accounting professors in UMak?

5. What is the best possible solution of the problems in the impact of different
teaching approach and strategies of accounting professors in UMak?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

STUDENTS:

Effective teaching strategies help to activate students curiosity about a

class topic, engage students in learning, develop critical thinking skills, keep
students on task, and gender sustained and useful classroom interaction and in
general, enable and enhance the learning of course content. For an Accounting
students, teaching strategies is important because they keep those strategies in
their entire studies and life too. Students keep on receiving of the different
strategies. The management accounting, strategies is a must. Students cannot
learn if they have strategies. Accounting students adopt what are the strategies
of the professor how the professor approaches for the course and what are the
materials needed.
PROFESSORS:
A teaching strategy is the method used to deliver information in the
classroom, online, or in some media. Strategy that engages a diversity of
learning styles through varied instructions. Accounting professors have different
strategies and approaches for the course but the most important for the
professors are the students that would learn in the course. For the accounting
professors this topic provides as an outline for the strategies and output of what
the students approach of their teaching skills.

PARENTS:

Our parents are our first teacher before we enter the formal education.
They are the one who molds and shapes us, not only to be a role model in the
society but also the techniques and strategies on how to learn effectively and
efficiently. In the field of studies, the parents should be one who knows the status
and the problems of their children. It is important for them to know those things to
further give actions and solutions to the problems of their children. Having a child
who is taking up Accountancy, it is also important to give their financial needs
because they need to have different reference and to engage to different review
schools and seminars that could help to enhance their learning skills.
UNIVERSITY:
It is important for the university to know the impact of the teaching
approaches of the professors to be aware of which approach will be the most
effective to accounting students. Consequently, they will have ideas of what kind
of professor will they hire to teach accounting subjects in the future in order for
the students to excel in this field of specialization. Furthermore, If the incoming
college students have some ideas that the teaching approach of the professors in
this university is improving and beyond the standards there is a big probability
that they will choose this school to enroll in.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The scope of the research are the insights, ideas, perceptions, knowledge
and reactions of the students under the program of Management accounting

about the different teaching approaches and strategies of the accounting

professors in teaching accounting subjects specifically Financial Accounting and
how it affects the way of learning of students.
There are several factors that may affect the level of teaching approaches
and strategies of accounting professors in University of Makati. The factors are
lecture, participation, schedule, grading system, language, references, and
facilities. This study aims to know how these factors affect the performance of the
management accounting students.
This study is limited to the students under the program of Management
Accounting in University of Makati, specifically Second year Management
Accounting students during second semester of academic year 2015-2016. It
also limits to the professors teaching Financial Accounting II during the same
year. The researchers believe that this study is necessary to be able to know the
effects of different approaches to the students learning, to know the most
effective approach and strategy according to the students and to answer the
misconceptions regarding the said topic.

HYPOTHESIS

The researches concluded that demographic profile of the respondents as

has no effect in helping to improve the level of teaching strategies of the second
year professors in management accounting in the University of Makati
