SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter looks at the summary of findings, conclusions, recommendations

and suggestions for further research

A. Summary

This research study was done to investigate the perceptions of Grade 9 Special

Science Curriculum (SSC) Teachers of Bucal National High School regarding the

difference between the “Chalk and Talk” method and “Technology-Dependent” method

on teaching.

From this study, the researchers were able to find out that there are several

factors affecting the teachers’ perception regarding the two teaching method.

The traditional “Chalk and Talk” method of teaching is used on the subjects that

needs more focus discussion about the concepts and ideas, contains computations that

needs step- by- step instructions, needs deep comprehension, and subjects with

complex lessons that needs detailed elaboration of the teacher like Chemistry and

Physics. On the other hand, the modern “Technology- Dependent” method of teaching

is used on the subjects that needs visualizations of the ideas, concepts and actual

representations of applications of the lesson that needed by the students to learn like

Biology, Earth Science, MAPEH, ICT, English, Filipino and EsP. However, the used of

both teaching method is also effective for teaching, the used of both teaching method is

used on the subject that are time consuming and confusing that need visualizations and

detailed demonstrations of the concepts, ideas and applications like Mathematics,

Research and Araling Panlipunan. The researchers were able to the claims of Gupta

82
(2013) that there is more interaction between the teacher and student in traditional

teaching methods as compared to the modern teaching methods and also traditional

teaching methods teacher does not require any special technical knowledge and can

focus more on his subject for imparting the best knowledge to the students. While,

modern teaching methods create more interest among the students with the help of

interesting animations and videos and with the help of modern teaching methods

teacher can cover more syllabus in lesser time as they don't have to waste their time in

writing on the blackboard. With the help of modern teaching methods teacher can cover

more syllabus in lesser time as they don't have to waste their time in writing on the

blackboard.

Another is the perceptions of the teachers regarding on the teaching method

which is more engaging to the class. Most of the respondents of the study preferred the

usage of modern “Technology- Dependent” method of teaching can engage

involvement of the students in the class more as compare to traditional “Chalk and

Talk” method, because in this method the teacher may use some teaching visual aids,

just like Videos, Slides, Pictures and Sounds that are related to the lessons, teachers

used this method for student to visualize what the lesson is, also the teacher used this

method to cope up with the advancing world, through this using the technology can give

motivation to the students, because they can see and hear what the lesson is, so the

student stimulates the lessons to become active involve on the class. Through this, the

researchers were able to accept the claim of Simin et. al (2015) in their study that using

ICT tools and instrumentation can prepare a lively learning setting that is more

fascinating and effective for both teachers and students. Thus, students learn more

83
effectively with the utilization of ICT as lesson designed are more engaging and

fascinating.

Besides, more importantly, there are advantages and disadvantages of the 2

methods. For the traditional “Chalk and Talk” method, the advantages are (1) it provides

more focus and attention, (2) it provides clear discussion, (3) it retains the knowledge of

the students, (4) it gives actual demonstration of the subjects, and (5) student will easily

understand the lesson, while the disadvantages are (1) Boring, (2) Time consuming, (3)

Lack of Visualization, (4) students always depend on the teachers, (5) lack of interest.

Furthermore, for the modern “Technology – Dependent” method, the advantages are (1)

it gives motivation, (2) visualize the lesson, (3) create more interest, and the

disadvantages are (1) it does not retain the full knowledge, and (2) it cannot explain and

elaborate the complex lessons.

B. Conclusions

1. The traditional “Chalk and Talk” teaching method is more effective in the

subjects which are more focus discussion, mathematical or has more

step- by – step discussion. The modern “Technology – Dependent”

teaching method is more effective in the subjects which needs

visualizations of the ideas, concepts and actual representations of

applications of the lesson that needed by the students to learn. The both

teaching method is more effective in the subjects which are time

consuming and confusing that need visualizations and detailed

demonstrations of the concepts, ideas and applications.

84
 2. The modern “Technology – Dependent” teaching method is more

engaging on the involvement of the students in the class as compare to

traditional “Chalk and Talk” method.

3. The advantages of traditional “Chalk and Talk” teaching method are it

provides more focus and attention, it provides clear discussion, it retains

the knowledge of the students, it gives actual demonstration of the

subjects, and student will easily understand the lesson. The

disadvantages of traditional “Chalk and Talk” teaching method are Boring,

Time consuming, Lack of Visualization, students always depend on the

teachers, lack of interest. However, the advantages of modern

“Technology- Dependent” teaching method are it gives motivation,

visualize the lesson, create more interest. The disadvantages of modern

“Technology- Dependent” teaching method are it does not retain the full

knowledge, and it cannot explain and elaborate the complex lessons.

4. Traditional “Chalk and Talk” method is appropriate for the subject

Chemistry and Physics. While the modern “Technology – Dependent”

method is appropriate for the subject Biology, Earth Science, MAPEH,

ICT, English, Filipino and EsP. Furthermore, both teaching method is

appropriate for the subject Mathematics, Research and Araling

Panlipunan.

C. Recommendations

After concluding the said research study, the researchers can recommend the

following:

85
 The future researchers can include the teachers of the Junior High School

(JHS) level to determine if the teachers’ perception differ per year level.

Another is that the researchers can also focus on the Senior High School

(SHS) teachers to see if there is any significant difference to their

perceptions of the two teaching methods when used in the classrooms.

Furthermore, it is better for the future researchers to make a lesson plan

for each subject where they could apply the appropriate teaching method

on specific subject.

 For the teachers, it is highly recommended that the teaching methods

employed in the classroom can be a mix of the traditional and modern

teaching method, depending upon the subject being taught and the

strengths and weaknesses of the students in the said subject. There are

studies that show that interactive learning can help improve the rate of

student learning in the classroom.

 The school can also promote less costly methods that the students and

teachers can use in school or limit the use of technology or the Internet in

the subject areas where it is less requires, if possible.
