The Role Of Learning Strategies And Teaching Skills In Improving Student Performance

Abstract

Modern education aims to develop the student's personality from various cognitive, psychological, skill, emotional and social aspects. The role of the teacher is no longer limited to transferring knowledge and providing information to learners; rather, the teacher has become the planner, implementer and evaluator of the educational process. In order to fulfil their tasks successfully, teachers need to have a teaching competence that enables them to carry out the teaching activity with skill and commitment. In addition, their competence allows them to choose appropriate teaching strategies that match the students' abilities and their psychological and social needs. A competent teacher also guides students and helps them to select deep cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies that facilitate the learning process and achieve academic success.

The current study aims to shed light on the role of learning strategies and teaching competence in improving student performance.
