Abstract
In
the
present
technological
age,
concerned
stakeholders should innovate pedagogical approaches
to achieve authentic learning. Four commonly used
teaching pedagogies are presented in this study: lecture
method, cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning,
and learning with emphasis on communication skills.
The level of awareness, attitudes and utilization of
these four common teaching pedagogies by Bachelor in
Elementary Education (BEEd) faculty members were
explored using an educational-descriptive-quantitative
approach. Results show that respondents are highly
aware of inquiry-based learning but are only
moderately aware of lecture method, cooperative
learning and learning with emphasis on communication
skills. The faculty respondents have the most positive
attitude on cooperative learning compared to the other
three pedagogies. Contrary, the utilization of the four
pedagogies in teaching are comparable. Although
lecture method is the least preferred method, it is still
commonly used because of its practicability in terms of
class size, and convenience to the teacher. The other
three pedagogies are also considered and moderately
practiced. The proposed synergistic pedagogical model
is formulated to intertwine the captured awareness,
attitudes and practices of the BEEd faculty members on
the four commonly used teaching pedagogies.
