49 others and also how to have a good behavior. Sheila had changed her
character of aggressive became polite. She became cooperative to the other students and people around her. Sheila is considered as a curious girl because
she got many interesting things from the school. She also tried not to destroy others or things and doing anything responsibly.
The second research problem of this study dealt with how Torey’s teaching styles influence Sheila’s personality development. The study found
that Sheila’s personality developed positively as the influence of Torey Hayden’s teaching styles. In her teaching, Torey applied morning discussion,
classroom meetings, peer tutoring, movement experiences, imagination activities, closing activities, painting, role playing, cooking, caring for plants
and animals, and doing field trips. By having the knowledge and styles of teaching in the classroom, Torey could win Sheila’s trust. What Sheila
learned from being a part of the classroom can be applied to other settings, as she developed the skills to make new friends, became a member of other
activities, and to serve others.
