The Perceptions of Postgraduate Students towards the Teaching Strategies Employed by CENTED Lecturers in IIUM

Abstract

This paper examines the perception of post graduate students towards the teaching strategies employed by CENTED Lectures in IIUM. The population was 219 Masters of education (MED) and PhD in Education students, while the sample size was 58 students in which 48 were master’s students and 10 were PhD students. Stratified sampling technique was used to obtain a representative sample. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results show that post graduate students perceive their lecturers as using lecture methods more than non lecture method in their teaching activities. Lecturers rarely apply question and answers techniques or include discussions in their teachings.
