Abstract:
Educational research has shown that teaching styles vary between veteran and neophyte educators; while new teachers encounter challenges like classroom management and lack of support, veteran teachers possess valuable experience yet may face limitations in adapting to new methods or technologies. This study employed a systematic review to explore the teaching approaches used by experienced and neophyte educators. Findings revealed five (5) emerging themes on unveiling pedagogical paradigms: a systematic review of teaching styles among veteran and neophyte educators namely; (1) Comparison of Teaching Styles between Veteran and Neophyte Educators; (2) The Impact of Teaching Styles on Student Learning; (3) The Role of Professional Development in Shaping Teaching Styles; (4) The Need for a Pedagogical Paradigm Shift; and (5) The Importance of Continuous Research and Evaluation. This study underscores the importance of recognizing the differing teaching styles between veteran and neophyte educators, highlighting the potential benefits of integrating technology and interactive methods to enhance educational quality and bridge generational gaps. Furthermore, understanding and bridging the gap between veteran and neophyte educators' teaching styles is crucial for improving educational quality, as traditional methods may lead to passivity while interactive approaches foster engagement and better learning outcomes.
