Techniques: A Case Study of a Private University in Malaysia
%X This paper examine preferred / dislike teaching/learning techniques among postgraduate student at a 
Malaysian university. Past studies had indicated the promotion of students? ?graduateness?, 
responsibility lies in the hand of teachers who need to know what are in the mind of student with 
regards to their most preferred or non preferred learning and teaching style. 57 returned questionnaires 
were accepted and coded, and subject to further analysis with a response rate of 73 percent from the 
private university. The result revealed that the highest ranked technique most preferred by the students 
was ?interactive lecture by instructor and the most dislike technique was formal lecture by instructor. 
Significant finding was that though there were some differences within the different disciplines, some 
commonalities seem to be present. Future study should consider alternative modes of enquires such as 
employing the longitudinal method of data collection design and a nationwide survey covering 
samples from the whole population of the higher institutions of learning in Malaysia that would be 
more significant in making generalizations .
