The Effectiveness of Team Teaching in Improving Students’ Reading Skills

Abstract

It is assumed that teacher quality plays a significant role in determining the effectiveness of a learning program. This study intends to analyze the effectiveness of the English teachers at the SD Teuku Nyak Arif Bilingual School at Lamnyong, Banda Aceh, through their implementation of Team Teaching in two skills involved in reading which are vocabulary and details in the reading. Data were collected through observation of teachers in their teaching programs and through a reading test given to the students toward the end of the observation. The test results revealed a mean score of 85.7. Compared to a score of 75, which is the national standard mean score for English determined by the National Authority of Education in the country, the students' mean score is considered very well.

Enhancing early children’s basic handwriting skills through hands-on participant team teaching: A monadic experimental design

“…Sahardin and Nova (2018) underscore the influence of team teaching in English language instruction, citing its effectiveness in facilitating successful learning outcomes. A study conducted at the University of Texas utilized team teaching to impart reading skills, resulting in students experiencing value in their learning journey and enjoying their progress (Sahardin & Nova, 2018). For early childhood education, incorporating collaborative teaching strategies like team teaching can enrich the learning environment, promote effective teamwork among educators, and ultimately enhance the educational experience for young learners.…”

“…While there is significant literature emphasizing the importance of early childhood education in developing children's motor skills through methods such as handwriting instruction, there remains a notable gap in research, particularly within the context of the Philippines (Maris, 2023;. Despite evidence suggesting a positive correlation between effective writing skills and academic performance, there is a scarcity of studies investigating the effectiveness of hands-on and team-teaching approaches in enhancing early childhood handwriting skills specifically in the Philippine setting (Sahardin & Nova, 2018). This research gap presents an opportunity to explore how culturally relevant and contextspecific teaching methodologies can be implemented to improve the motor skills and academic performance of Filipino children through focused handwriting instruction.…”
