Teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of teaching techniques in developing students' thinking and expression skills in Albania

Abstract

This study aims to explore how teaching techniques can enhance students' thinking and expression skills from teachers' perspectives. A correlational research design was used, with 412 primary school teachers participating. Based on the chi-square test results, the findings indicate a linear relationship between the study variables. The t-test results indicate higher averages compared to the population value. The teachers' perceptions of several teaching techniques such as INSERT, SQ3R, roundtable, role play, think/pair/share, and brainstorming suggest that these methods can potentially develop students' thinking and expression skills. Overall, this research provides a promising approach to improving students' thinking and expression skills through teaching techniques in the classroom.
