IMPACT OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES ON STUDNT’S ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN LEARNING

Abstract

In recent years, innovative teaching strategies have been introduced in the educational system to enhance student participation and engagement in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers' perceptions about the active participation of students in learning through innovative teaching strategies. This research employed a quantitative approach and utilized a survey questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 66 female teachers from various private schools in district Dera Ismail Khan. The results of the study indicated that teachers believed that innovative teaching strategies, such as problem-based learning, inquiry-based
learning, and collaborative learning, fostered active student participation and engagement in the classroom. Teachers have a positive perception about innovative teaching strategies because they have witnessed their impact on students' learning outcomes. Innovative teaching strategies promote active participation by students in the learning process, which is crucial for their academic success. The study recommends that educational institutions should provide adequate resources and training to teachers enabling them to implement innovative teaching strategies effectively.
