Difference between Traditional & Modern Teaching Methods
For centuries, there had only been one method of teaching in
practice as a teacher explains a lesson and students memorize and recite it as
their learning. This is called the traditional way of teaching, which was an
obstacle between students and their innovative thinking. Then they continue
lacking in decision making and problem-solving skills. On the other hand,
modern methods of teaching are student-based and dedicated to more practical
approaches.
Society is divided into three groups based on teaching
methods. One who still is in support of traditional methods of teaching. The
second group is in favor of modern teaching methods. At the same time, the
third one favors both conventional and modern teaching methods. The third group
believes in the combination of both the methods of teaching.
A nation’s growth is dependent on sound education and
strengthened systems. Even in modern times, when there are many means available
to provide education, we are still in a phase when we give more weightage to
the traditional method of teaching. But for the best outcome, there is a need
for a combination of both conventional methods of teaching and modern teaching
methods.
People who believe that modern teaching methods are better
to face criticism of people who support traditional methods of teaching.
However, there must be a proper balance between the use of traditional and
modern teaching methods. Both ways should be imparted into education.
