Abstract

Innovative teaching methods were looked at and how they affected students' academic success in high schools in the Prosperidad District, Division of Agusan del Sur. Specifically, the study wanted to find out how teachers use learner-centered methods and how these affect students' performance in various subject areas. The study method was quantitative descriptive-correlational. Researchers created a questionnaire that was then checked by experts to make sure it was reliable and accurate. Subjects chosen through systematic sampling included 35 teachers and 130 pupils. The data was analyzed using statistical tools like frequency, percentage, weighted mean, analysis of variance, and Pearson's association. The results showed that teachers often used new methods, especially those that combined technology with students working together and learning through experience. Significant changes in usage were seen between groups based on the teachers' level of schooling, length of service, and training exposure. These findings also showed a moderately good relationship between new ways of teaching and students' academic success, which suggests that learner-centered instruction helps students do better in school. The study stresses the importance of ongoing professional development, strong administrative support, and regular changes to how lessons are taught in order to make teaching more effective and boost student success.
