Students’ participation in class is an important aspect for students’ learning. Students who participate more in class learn better. They learn how to communicate their ideas in a way that others can understand. It can help teachers to know the understanding level of students and can adjust their teaching method accordingly. The participation of students in class depends upon their teaching way that how much they permit students to participate in classroom activities. They need to determine during planning the lesson and course that which teaching method they will use to integrate students’ participation in class. Appropriate teaching method practices enhance classroom participation skills in students according to their learning needs.
Knowledge is increasing day by day and teaching skills are improving but education in Pakistan is still in the development stage. Considering all the results, this study aims to compare and evaluate the effect of teacher and student methods in secondary schools in Hyderabad district on the academic performance of students attending real classes. The study population included 3704 government employees. There are 52768 secondary school teachers and students. Simple stratified sampling was used for selection of teachers and students. This study is quantitative. Use survey and questionnaire tools. The teaching methods (teacher and student centered) of 13 English teachers in the 9th grade were observed and information about the participation of 248 students in the 9th grade was obtained from the survey. Conduct a T- test for the data asking about the students' social skills. The research results show that there is a significant difference between the effect of teachers' and students' teaching methods on students' participation skills.
