Abstract

This research aims to explore the differences between male and female teachers in selecting teaching methods and to identify the factors that influence these differences. The study utilized a qualitative approach and was conducted at MAS Dayah Darul Ihsan, with a total sample of seven teachers (four male and three female). Data were collected through interviews. The findings indicate that male teachers tend to favor lecture or discussion methods and interactive approaches, while female teachers often prefer cooperative or problem-based learning methods. Additionally, the research identified several factors influencing male and female teachers in their choice of teaching methods, including the school environment, student interactions, and responses to trends in education.
