The Effectiveness of Interactive Teaching Strategies on Student Engagement in Grade 6

This study focuses on how interactive teaching strategies can effectively improve student engagement among thirty Grade 6 learnersof South Poblacion Elementary School in San Fernando Cebu . Instead of relying on traditional lecture-based instruction, the research highlights methods such as collaborative learning, peer instruction, problem-based learning, and the use of technology in the classroom. These strategies encourage students to actively participate in their learning by working with peers, discussing ideas, solving real-world problems, and using digital tools. The study specifically examines three key dimensions of engagement: behavioral (students’ participation in activities), emotional (their interest and enthusiasm), and cognitive (their level of thinking and understanding). Based on existing literature, the findings show that when interactive strategies are properly implemented, students become more motivated, more involved in classroom tasks, and demonstrate improved academic performance. They also develop better communication and teamwork skills through collaboration. However, the study emphasizes that the success of these approaches depends largely on the teacher’s role in guiding activities, organizing structured lessons, and ensuring that all students are actively involved. Overall, the research concludes that interactive teaching strategies are highly effective in creating a more engaging and meaningful learning experience for Grade 6 students.
