ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to investigate the differential effectiveness of teaching

methodology on students’ academic performance. A sample of 250 university students from

different Departments was used for the study. Using the inferential statistics course, students’

assessment test scores were derived from the internal class test prepared by the lecturer. The

differential effectiveness of the three teaching methods on student academic performance was

analyzed. The results indicated significant differences on the effectiveness of the three teaching

methods. The mean scores results demonstrate that teacher-student interactive method was the

most effective teaching method, followed by student-centered method while the teacher-centered

approach was the least effective teaching method.

Keywords: teacher-centered, student-centered, teacher-student interactive and academic
