Learner Evaluation on the Use of Collaborative Instructional Method and Instructional Media

Abstract

We have heard of instruction being teacher-directed, giving less learner participation in the teaching-learning process. This article examines the roles of teacher-facilitator and students in classroom instruction. Inservice teachers enrolled in an educational technology course took over the classroom instruction while the class teacher managed the instructional process. Throughout the course, students worked together to prepare their lessons and the instructional media and method to be used in instruction. At the end of the course, participants evaluated the media and method used during instruction. Results of the evaluation showed in-service teachers preferred the learner-centered and collaborative approach. The collaborative method helped them to learn the use of instructional data.
