Abstract

This study explored students’ perceptions of teaching methods at the elementary level in Government Girls High School, Gulhar, Kotli, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The main objective was to examine how students of grade six perceive the teaching approaches practiced in their classrooms. All students of the selected grade were included in the study, making the sample universal in nature. This was an action research where data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the simple percentage method to find out the students’ perceptions regarding teaching methodology. The findings emphasize that for effective teaching, a teacher must adopt or use real-life examples in lessons, encourage students’ active participation, and promote student-teacher interaction. This study recommended that teachers should regularly take feedback from students. This feedback will help teachers improve their teaching methods and create a better environment for learners.
