INTRODUCTION
Modern teaching strategies have become increasingly significant in the realm of education, especially concerning students' academic and educational advancements (Sunil Prasad Chauhan, 2.
There is a widespread acknowledgment that aligning teaching strategies with students' diverse intellectual capacities produces superior outcomes compared to conventional teaching methods (Harris & Jones, 2018.

The direction of educational service development is geared towards learning innovation (Guiamalon et al.
, 2.
This is aimed at achieving learning effectiveness, which concurrently influences the quality of graduates (Myller & Mildenberger, 2021.
Sartika et al.

Therefore, implementing collaborative learning requires meticulous planning, a suitable dynamic for forming collaborative groups, the relevance of student practices connected to daily technology use, a shift in the teaching role, and autonomy in learning management (Appiah-Kubi & Annan, 2020.
Chan et , 2.
Research suggests that educators with advanced professional credentials, like a Master's in Education, often excel in employing existentialistic, linguistic, and interpersonal teaching methods (Santisi et al.

As we navigate deeper into the digital era, the demand for contemporary teaching methodologies has surged (Hikmawati & Hosnan, 2.
Modern classrooms, equipped with cutting-edge tools such as speakers, online streaming capabilities, interactive whiteboards, visualizers, response systems.
CDs, projectors, and educational software, serve as indispensable assets, aiding educators in effectively imparting knowledge (Bandyopadhyay et al.

The subsequent chart emphasizes the efficacy of contemporary teaching strategies in augmenting the learning capabilities of Grade 9 students.
Five statements extrapolated from the data offer insightful observations.
Collaborative learning emerged as the predominant strategy, with 23 of 30 respondents endorsing its Gamification followed suit, earning favorable feedback from 13 Conversely, flipped learning was least recognized, with only one respondent acknowledging its benefits.
Collaborative learning is lauded for its role in promoting student collaboration and motivation.
Thinking-based learning also received significant recognition, with 13 participants acknowledging its role in fostering critical thinking.
Problem-based learning was positively acknowledged by nine respondents, highlighting its efficacy in nurturing problem-solving skills.
Interestingly, both gamification and flipped learning garnered equivalent responses, with three out of 30 participants each.
These findings offer empirical support for the benefits of contemporary teaching methods in fostering Grade 9 students' cognitive growth and honing critical thinking Diagram 3: Modern Teaching Strategies Used in Improving Learning Skills The chart presented offers a data-driven analysis of the preferences of 30 respondents concerning various educational methodologies.
Notably, gamification emerged as the most favored approach, receiving approval from 14 respondents.

Cris T Zita The Impact of Modern Teaching Strategy in Enhancing the Learning Collaborative learning, characterized by collective problem-solving and task completion, followed closely with the second-highest preference, earning approval from 11 respondents.
This pedagogical approach cultivates a sense of community and shared responsibility among students, facilitating the expression of individual viewpoints and nurturing critical thinking and effective communication skills.
However, its preference slightly waned when juxtaposed with project-based learning, suggesting potential variations in perceived effectiveness.
Project-based learning, which entails an in-depth exploration of authentic, intricate questions or issues, was favored by 13 respondents.
This strategy stimulates creative thinking and enhances organizational skills, thereby cultivating project management proficiencies among students.
Thinking-based learning, another instructional strategy emphasizing cognitive development, was selected by an equivalent number of respondents.
Encouraging students to assume an active role in their educational journey, this approach fosters creative thinking and the articulation of independent viewpoints.
Problem-based learning, which accentuates problem-solving through engagement with intricate, real-world challenges, garnered preference from 11 This methodology facilitates the honing of critical thinking skills.
Conversely, flipped learning received minimal endorsement among respondents, obtaining only one vote in conjunction with thinking-based learning and none when aligned with project-based learning.
This approach, which necessitates independent review of lecture materials at home followed by in-class discussion typically reserved for homework, may be less favored due to its reliance on students' self-motivation and discipline, which may not align with all learning preferences.
The chart furnishes valuable quantitative insights into students' inclinations regarding diverse educational methodologies.
It highlights the allure of interactive, collaborative, and problem-solving strategies while indicating a comparatively subdued reception for autonomous learning modalities like flipped learning.
