Abstract

Throughout the world all universities mostly running regular scheme courses like sciences, engineering, medical, law, social, and humanities and so on. When the demand of instructors for all subjects raised, Universities planned and implemented Extension, Weekend Courses specially for Science and Management even all fields of specially in Ethiopia in 1998 the First level universities started (like Addis Ababa, Haramaya, and so on) weekend courses. Secondly most of the instructors, especially Non-Governmental Offices (NGO) they want to achieve their Graduate Courses continue with their normal employing works. Those weekend courses want to improve quality and quantities properly. So that this article wants to prove how do improve teaching methodology for weekend courses, and then, the purpose of weekend program in educational institutes is to promote education for those who cannot learn at regular time. The aim of this study was to identify teaching methodology mostly used by teachers, preferred teaching methodology for students and its effectiveness. Most weekend students have liked to learn by their preference, mainly because of their interactive nature even though the lecture method dominated in class. Significantly, this study provides valuable information about the trends of teaching of weekend class at Bule Hora University that could lay a good base for further investigation. The results and findings can be taken as a base for the concerning bodies to further improve and enhance their curriculum that encompass teaching and learning process, teachers’ trainings and assessment in general. I also did three different action for this improvement of teaching methodology, in Natural Science First year students in one class of total number of students twenty one and I have done quantity method like as percentage concept with questioner patterns from students and instructors in Bule Hora University, Bule Hora, Ethiopia.
