Abstract

The concept of teaching and learning styles suggests that every individual is unique. Every teacher teaches in his way, and every learner learns according to his preference. This study determines the relationship between the teachers’ teaching styles and the learning styles of the pupils and their academic performance. A total of (27) Grade 6 teachers and (208) Grade 6 pupils of public elementary schools of Lopez Jaena District, Division of Misamis Occidental participated in the study. Frequency counts, percentages, mean, and spearman rho correlation coefficient were the statistical tools used. Findings revealed that teachers teaching styles in the classroom, with expert being the most preferred style, followed by formal authority, facilitator, personal model and delegator respectively. The pupils used a variety of learning styles, with auditory being the most common, followed by visual and kinesthetics. Pupils demonstrated very satisfactory academic performance. Further, a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching styles and pupils’ learning styles, as well as a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching styles, pupils’ learning styles, and pupils’ academic performance shown. These suggest that teachers should consider adapting their teaching styles to match the learning styles of their pupils, which could potentially enhance their academic performance.
