This study was conducted to improve the academic performance of students studying general studies courses at Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED), Ondo. The research used a descriptive study design to collect data on the perception of the students, ranging from degree one (1) to degree four (4), towards the teacher-centred method used in the Harmattan (first) semester and the student-centred method used in the Rain (second) semester during the 2020–2021 academic session. A sample of three hundred and twenty-one (321) students participated in the survey through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire administered using Google Forms. The survey data was analyzed using the Excel package for descriptive statistics. The Chi-Square test was used to determine the level of association between the students' preference for the two teaching methods. The findings revealed a significant association between the students' preference for the two teaching methods. The study recommends further research to determine the impact of these teaching methods on academic performance.
