SENATOR Nancy Binay recommended to the Department of Education to review the way of teaching of some educators.

She scrutinized the present methodology of teaching in schools as the Committee on Basic Education probes the recent outcome of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment or PISA.

Binay pointed out that most students had been used to memorization but tended to forget those lessons after taking their examinations.

She said it is high time for teachers to start teaching actual applications of school lessons, especially in mathematics and science, instead of asking learners to memorize their subjects.

“It’s difficult to break old habits. The big question is how do we teach our new teachers? Maybe it’s time to revisit and change the curriculum on how we are teaching our teachers as well,” Binay said.

The senator pointed out that methodology in teaching should also be adapted to the present situation.
