The researchers used two types of close-open questionnaires to identify the method which they follow and after using the statistic aids available, they concluded that there are five common methods (lecture, discussion, discovery, inductive and problem-solving). The lecture method got the first order for having the arithmetic mean of 231,6 and the items that represented got the highest frequency while problem –saving method came at last. And one of the important justifications for using these methods was due to the teacher’s ignorance for the other methods and the great number of the students inside the classroom which absolutely stands as obstacle from using other methods.
