Traditional teaching method Vs Modern teaching method
Abstract
In order to effectively convey information to learners, teachers must use different methods based on the learners' requirements, such as visual, aural, or kinaesthetic methods. This approach ensures that every topic in education, including Physical Science, is taught in a way that is tailored to the needs of each individual learner.Overall, effective communication and the application of learning theories are essential in teaching to ensure that students receive accurate information and overcome barriers to learning. This method makes learning active according to Edgar Dale and “the learning pyramid”.The teachings of John Milton Gregory, as presented in his book "The Seven Laws of Teaching," have had a significant impact on modern teaching and learning practices. Furthermore, effective communication between teachers and learners is considered essential in contemporary educational settings, as emphasized by Petty (2004, p. 40).In different areas of education, three main theories of learning are utilized: Behaviorism, Cognitive, and Humanistic. Behaviorism is commonly used when teaching young learners, while Cognitive theory is more applicable to higher education learners. On the other hand, Humanistic theory is often employed when working with mature students.When it comes to evaluating teaching and learning, Tummons' method (2007, p.4) is widely recognized as the most effective. This method allows for the assessment of new skills acquired by learners.
