Abstract

The descriptive method was used in this study. There were 52 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to gather data to assess the teaching strategies and to know the strengths and problems of the faculty members. Percentage and frequency distribution were used to determine the effectiveness of the teaching strategies employed by the faculty of the College of Medical Radiation Technology. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) All teaching methodologies were moderately employed, implying that all methodologies were utilized by the College of Medical Radiation Technology. The respondents were homogenous on their assessment of the teaching methodologies employed at the college; (2) In assessing the strength of the teaching strategies, higher student achievement can be attained through cooperative learning method and lecture discussion method. Increased critical thinking can be attained through brainstorming method while better cooperation could be achived through group reporting method. Students will have better attitude towards subject area and will develop high self-esteem when role playing method was used. Students will have better collaborative skill when recitation method was used and will have better relationship with teachers when lecture discussion method was used; (3) Regarding the problems of teaching strategies, 18 of the respondents assessed that lessons were not analyzed but rather memorized in the cooperative learning method while 12 of the respondents assessed that dislike for subject area was the problem for the drill and practice method.
