Difference Between Traditional And Traditional Learning

Who loves school? What makes school enjoyable? Is it the lectures, worksheets, and tests, or the group projects, in-class discussions and high-tech games? When thinking over the answers to these questions, many people unknowingly state a preference for a more progressive teaching style. A progressive teaching style includes student participation and a large variety of modern inventions which allow more students to enjoy learning. Students receive a more complete education through enjoyment in the learning when they have the ability to set a custom pace and are able to learn according to their preferred learning style. It has become increasingly apparent to many educators how disconnected students have become from the learning environment when lectures are the sole teaching method. This discovery has led several instructors to develop new methods to educate the next generation of students for their benefit, not just for the ease and convenience of the teacher. To figure out the best balance for the future of education, like anything else, one must first understand the history of education and where schooling originated. Schooling began with a traditional style of lectures and progressed to more modern teaching methods, which have proven to be more beneficial to a learner’s future, than the traditional practices in a teacher-centered classroom.

In educational and school settings the curriculum is constantly changing, as well as the different styles of teaching pedagogies that educators use on a daily basis to match the types of learning of each child within their classroom. Educators strive to bring out the best within their pupils and through using personalised learning this can be done efficiently supplying the child with the correct type

Students have their own best way in effectively learning the lesson. With the diversity of students, the problem is each student has a preferred learning style. It becomes undeniably one of the reasons that make it difficult to achieve the best expected outcome out of teachers’ effort. However, teachers try to incorporate various teaching techniques to make every learning opportunity become productive, meaningful, and relevant for the learners.

* Prepare the learning environment based on the individual needs of the pupil/group, and provide the learning

Many educators operate their classrooms using a “learning theory” that they feel optimizes the best learning environment for their students. As an educator it is very important to create your own customized learning theory to use in your classroom. A customized learning theory is developed to create an optimum learning environment for students. Educators have to research and put into practice the ideas that they feel may work best in their classroom. In this paper, I will be discussing my own customized learning theory incorporating theoretical perspectives that I believe make an ideal learning environment.

The classroom environment effects instruction and learning by having an open area for the students to learn while exploring/playing. The educator uses the open space to model the task that needs to be completed. There were two table, which each seats seven students, for instructional hands-on work. Here students complete worksheets, drawings, and tracing words, shapes, and letter. Students encourage and help each other when sitting at these tables. Students learn to communicate when working in two groups on the same task. There were no effective practices that built an anti-bias environment that supported diverse learners.

Individualized instruction will not only benefit the student that it will also benefit the teacher because, "Teachers will acquire new skills; they will learn to diagnose, to help students learn how to learn, to take the student where he is and to teach him" (Steiner, F., 1971, p. 372).

The lessons were created and implanted through our online class system, Canvas. The students learned strategies and perform tasks that related to their classes and assignments. They set goals, planned their time and then reflected on the outcomes. A notebook was used to record their lessons and keep track of their goals. Over the course of the year, students learned to organized their backpacks, plan their study time and learned how to email their teachers. The set personal goals with

Learners learn in different ways, and teachers teach differently. For a long time I’ve been used to a lesson, a worksheet, and a quiz to end end the unit. Being put in Mrs. Meeks class was different and something that I had to get used to, and still am getting used to. Daily Evaluations and book reviews have taught me about responsibility, and have made me think deeper than I was before when reading and writing.

Historically, the quintessential college student leaves home at the age of 18 to live on a college campus for four years. These students have long been labeled as ‘Traditional’ college students with the learning category outliers such as Adult, Online, Part Time, and those working Full Time while earning a degree being considered Non-Traditional and a minority amongst students. However, the learning demographic across the United States is shifting, and our ‘Traditional’ learners have become a minority. According to the Department of Education, in 2011 there were 17.6 million undergraduates enrolled in American Higher Learning. However, just fifteen percent of

Through my observations, Mrs. F uses a Teacher-Centered model, which allows her to select the material that the students will learn (Santrock, 2008). Since all of Mrs. F’s students contain an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) it is important for her to control and closely monitor what is being taught. When a teacher has a student with an IEP it is significant to maintain the unique educational goals and help the child achieve the highest benefit from learning (Heward, 2009). In Mrs. F’s class she is able to center her students goals around the curriculum or lesson plan for the day. On several occasions, I have witnessed Mrs. F asking the student’s different questions based off a story the class read, that pertains to their specific goals. An example of this includes one child’s inability to identify colors and another child’s inability to answer “who” questions (answering the main character in the story). With constant repetition, the students are able to strengthen their weaknesses and achieve their goal(s).

Differentiate instruction and adapt curriculum to meet the individual needs. Teachers can differentiate classroom elements based on student interest. For example, if the child interested to play in containers the child may provide different shape and things the child ca explore and learn. Also, the teacher can provide materials that reflect a variety of learning.

Everyday, teachers are faced with the challenge of teaching students new information that is valuable to their future. Teachers are responsible to determine what and how information is taught. How this information is taught to students is pertinent to their success; therefore, teachers must be able to use effective teaching methods in the classroom. Students have diverse learning styles; therefore, teachers need to determine how students learn best and pattern their teaching to accommodate these differences. During elementary school, children learn to read and write, acquire a basic understanding of content areas, and develop dispositions toward
