Abstract This study explores the relationship between lecturers’ attitudes toward various teaching strategies and students’ levels of engagement and liking. Data were collected from 60 lecturers using a structured scale measuring five dimensions: general attitude, confidence, frequency of use, perceived challenges and perceived effectiveness of different strategies. Additionally, responses from 140 students were analysed to gauge engagement and liking within traditionally taught classrooms.
Lecturers’ attitude scores were categorized into low, moderate, and high levels. Findings revealed that over half of the lecturers held positive attitudes toward diverse and student-centered teaching methods. Strategies such as inquiry-based and project-based learning were more favoured than technology-assisted approaches, which showed lower frequency and confidence scores.
Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between lecturers' attitudes and student engagement, supporting the view that teacher mindset directly affects learner motivation. These results highlight the importance of fostering openness to varied instructional methods to improve student outcomes.
