Abstract

College teachers frequently have training in their subject area but not in the field of education, yet they spend much of their lives making educational decisions that affect learners. With schools beginning to pay more attention to teaching, this mixed method study looks at what teachers in one college in the Philippines know about teaching strategies, which strategies they prefer, and why. Lecture still tops the favored methods, but it is chosen from among other options with which the teachers were familiar. The one significant difference relating to selection of teaching methods was the possession of a teaching credential. Those with educational training used a significantly greater variety of teaching strategies.
