| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to assess to what extent lecture and/or discussion method of teaching is used in AAU. Lecture and discussion method of teaching are used as indicators of direct and indirect instructional strategies respectively. The study also examined the factors that most influence the selection and utilization of instructional methods. Moreover, the influence of level of qualification, academic rank, and pedagogical knowledge of instructors in the process of instructional method selection and utilization was also surveyed. To effectuate this, descriptive survey was employed. A sample of 97 male and 19 female instructors of AAU in the SSC, ILS, FOE, FOL, FBE, and SISA was randomly selected. And 20 available classrooms with minimum number of forty and above were observed. In addition to observing the teaching-learning process in twenty selected classrooms with the help of checklist, a questionnaire constructed in terms of open and close-ended items, rating and Likert scale were employed in the process of data gathering. The data gathered via questionnaire and observation checklist were analyzed using the simple percentile, weight mean rank, and chi-square statistics. The analysis revealed that lecture and discussion are among the widely used instructional methods in the SSC, ILS, FOE, FOL, FBE, and SISA of AAU. Lecture in isolation, and lecture in combination with other methods of teaching were frequently used in comparison with lecture and discussion together, discussion in isolation, and discussion with other method of teaching. Besides, lecture and discussion together, lecture together with other method of teaching, and discussion with other method of teaching was used in comparable manner. On top of this, instructors do not perceive level of qualification as influential factor in the process of instructional method selection and utilization, though the statistical analysis indicated the other way. Academic rank was perceived as a contributing factor in the process of instructional method selection and utilization. Conversely, however, the statistical analysis didn't tell so. The pedagogical exposure of instructors found to be an influential factor in the process of instructional method selection and utilization; however, the majority of AAU instructors in the above specified disciplines except FOE have no pedagogical Knowledge either via preor in-service training | en_US |
