The Differential Impact of Teaching Methods on Student Learning Outcomes in Information Technology Education

Maria Cristina M. Ramos

Discipline: Information Technology

 

Abstract:

This study investigated the effectiveness of different teaching methods in IT education, aiming to identify student preferences, optimize technology integration, inform assessment design, and understand motivations for pursuing IT. Analyzing survey data from 90 BSIT students, the study revealed a clear preference for active learning methods like hands-on labs and collaborative projects, with traditional lectures deemed less impactful. While technology integration is widespread, online tutorials and student comfort levels necessitate further investigation for tailored implementation. Understanding student preferences for assessment methods such as projects and exams can inform interventions and improve engagement. Career prospects and a passion for technology emerged as primary motivators for pursuing IT education, suggesting the need for industry-aligned curriculum and student-centered learning approaches. These findings underscore the importance of catering to individual needs and preferences, actively engaging students through practical application, and continually adapting to the evolving landscape of IT education.
