Abstract : The researcher aims to explain the preferred teaching strategies of the criminal justice faculty of Cavite State University – Bacoor City Campus, in which the result of the study will be able to produce a pedagogical training program to address the challenges on the teaching strategies of every faculty. The study employed descriptive survey method research design since its purpose is to obtain and present facts regarding the preferred teaching strategies for criminology program in the 21st century at Cavite State University Bacoor City Campus. The researchers employed a descriptive method using the survey approach, frequency, percentage, weighted mean, four – point Likert scale, and T-test to assess relevant information that served the purpose of the study. As a result, there is a significant difference on the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the preferred teaching strategies for criminology program in the 21st century at Cavite State University Bacoor City Campus in terms of Community Engagement, Technology Integration, Collaborative Learning and Case Studies and Real-world Example. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. As recommended by the researcher; To support the integration of interdisciplinary approach, it is necessary to generate extra resources for faculty development, course restructuring, and collaborative research initiatives; A specialized unit must be created to ensure meticulous planning and coordination when developing an interdisciplinary curriculum that seamlessly incorporates concepts and methodologies from multiple disciplines; Academic institutions must acquire additional financial resources, allocate staff time, and receive logistical support to prevent budget constraints or a lack of dedicated staff for effectively coordinating community engagement activities, as community engagement initiatives often necessitate.

Keywords : 21st Century Teaching Strategies for Criminology Program, Pedagogical Training Program for Criminal Justice Faculty, Teaching Strategies.
