Which is Which: Traditional Teaching or IT Integrated Teaching?


Which is Which: Traditional Teaching or IT Integrated Technology
As I undergo the process of learning I realized that knowledge is not entirely fixed and transmittable but is something that all of us individuals, students, teachers and adults alike, actively construct. Thus, the most important thing a student should learn is how to learn”
Students nowadays follow the modern and diverse society wherein we aim to accomplish many goals. We demand for better learning for we want to be equally competent in the future. There are multiple choices of teachers and they can become overwhelming unless teachers can focus their teaching goals. The ultimate purpose of teaching is to assist students to become independent and self regulated learners. Now, the question is HOW do teachers make their learners competent and effective?
Traditional Teaching goes into the arena of choices. However, we students somehow viewed this as an antagonistic approach. The moment we hear the term “traditional teacher/ing” we immediately put into our minds the negative scenes we usually viewed in barrios and far flung areas. Now it’s about time to take some breather. Yes, traditional teaching could be an old style but I believe it still promotes effective learning. Teachers make sure everything they taught were understood by the student. Teachers teach using the blackboard, explained, asks students to copy and made sure students paid attention and listen.
On the other hand, IT Integrated Teaching is a real deal for teachers and students who views learning as an actively continuous process. Technology is used making the discussion more interesting, visual and updated. IT Integration aims at giving the students a holistic instead of a fragmented outlook on his studies. Thus the topics can be presented in a more meaningful way.
Indeed, there is no BEST TEACHING METHOD for the best teaching method is the one that yields good results. Let us embrace technology but we should not set aside the basics of traditional teaching.
