Favorite Methods of Teaching and Evaluation among Students in University Colleges

The present study aimed to identify the favorite methods of teaching and evaluation among students in university colleges. The study adopted a descriptive survey design; self-administered copies of the questionnaire were used to generate data from 1638 students at university colleges, selected by a random sample method. Frequency and percentage were used to analyze data. The findings showed 12 methods of teaching preferred by students (flipped learning, blended learning, simultaneous e-learning, asynchronous e-learning, virtual learning, scientific trips, training in the workplace, problem-solving, critical thinking, visitor lecture, learning by project and activities, and discussion) and seven methods of evaluation preferred by students (evaluation by multiple-choice test, true and false test, observation, written test, interview (face to face), evaluation of performance, and evaluation of portfolio). The results also showed that the teaching method preferred by students is the flipped learning method, where it received the highest frequency 1575 (96%); the evaluation method preferred by students is evaluation by multiple-choice, where it received the highest frequency 1623 (99%). The teaching method preferred by males and females is the flipped learning method; the evaluation method favored by males is the true and false test, and the multiple-choice test is the preferred evaluation method for females. According to the results, the researchers recommended that the faculty members of university colleges use the teaching and evaluation methods preferred by students.
