Predictors of Teaching Style Among Private Secondary School Teachers of Dasmariñas, Cavite

Abstract

This study explored the relationships between teachers’ beliefs in learning theories and selected demographics as predictors of teaching style preference (behavior and verbal). The respondents were 301 teachers from 30 private secondary schools in Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines. Respondents answered the Teachers’ Beliefs in Learning Theories Questionnaire, the My Teaching Style Profile, and a profile of selected demographics. Results showed that having majors in social sciences and values education efficiently predicted correct classification of teachers into their teaching style preferences.
