Pedagogical Practices of Senior High School Teachers of Urdaneta City Divsion

Abstract

Generally defined as the theory and practice of teaching, pedagogy refers to the methodology and process of how instructors approach teaching and learning using a specific curriculum with specific goals in mind. 

This study investigated the pedagogical practices of the Senior High School teachers in Urdaneta City Division, along the areas of learning environment, diversity of learners, use of teaching strategies, assessment, and use of educational technology., as well as the challenges they encountered in applying their pedagogical practices. The researcher employed the descriptive method of research involving 124 Senior High School teachers in Urdaneta City Division from ten (10) clusters of the Division. 

Findings revealed that the senior high school teachers are highly practicing pedagogical approaches in managing teaching learning. Thus, the LEAP (Leading Educators to Achieve Progress) approach is proposed to maintain and further improve the pedagogical practices of teachers, ensuring a high-quality education for all students. Adopting the LEAP framework—Leading Educators to Achieve Progress—presents a strategic and holistic approach to enhancing pedagogical practices among Senior High School teachers. This framework emphasizes Learning Environment Enhancement, Engaging Diverse Learners, Assessment Improvement, and Professional Development.
