Drawing Comparison Between Traditional And Modern Mode Of Learning

Question: Discuss about the Drawing Comparison Between Traditional And Modern Mode Of Learning. Answer: Introduction An instructor of higher education finds them under the increase of pressure for offering courses online, it happens to be wise by taking into consideration the differences and the similarities in the courses which are offered in both traditional way and in the mode of online (Fishman et al 2013). There is always a pressure to include the technologies into the courses of college, take place from different directions. Definitely the university is in a move to approach the students who are underserved, which is exerting continuous pressure on the teachers to offer the coursework in the online mode. The articles objective is to clearly examine the similarities and differences of the courses while they are offered in both traditional and modern formats. The several studies have been researched in this article. The authors have come up with their views to incorporate differences between the different types of courses based on interaction. Discussion According to Crawford and Wiest (2012), the practices that are based on the practice of good teaching had an influence in making of the courses. Finally, a good practice of teaching remains well irrespective of the fact whether the classroom is physical or based on electronic system. The practice of good teaching enhance the mode of contacts between the teachers and the students, the latter develop cooperation among them, giving motivation to the active learning, giving respect to many talents and also the different ways of learning. According to Ni (2013), the growth of e-learning is encouraging students to pursue more responsibilities to acquire knowledge. However, in traditional learning processes, the instructors would help to transfer the knowledge to students, from the contribution in a little amount from students. Moreover, with the passage of time, the traditional classes corresponded with the more focus on the students learning, the teachers are managing the same instead of only transferring vital information. Due to the occurrence of the more self directed learning which forms an integral part in the online mode environments, the online discussion has the capacity to wage in depth discussion which generally brings in the quality of the learning (Ni 2013; Salmon 2013). The online mode of learning also encourages students to participate, where the cost-effectiveness of the education is also increased in compare to the face-to-face learning. For example: Flipped classrooms where the students take part in the active learning process and there the instructor provides support and also scaffolding. Despite the increase of research interest in the model of e-learning, a little consistency could be seemed while giving training to the teachers. There are many artifacts to prove that that the teachers mostly seem to have developed the platforms based on web and searching alternative process to bring improvement to learning process of the students. While other teachers are looking for innovative ideas of utilizing the platforms in order to bring improvements in the learning outcomes of the students (Fishman et al 2013). The worldwide learning provision resulted to the numerous courses which are online. However, it has also been concluded that the students who are into the self-directed learning get lee help from their lecturers. Students also tend to feel uncomfortable while doing online mode of learning especially if they start acquiring knowledge without much idea about the technological management. It has been felt that the students feel more disconnected on online mode of educat ion (Jaggars 2014). According to Marchand and Gutierrez (2012), however, in the traditional mode of classes, students association with the teachers in traditional classes contributes to the greater academic performances. For example, the study shows that the students who are engaged in more online mode of classes do not perform excellence in their academic field and on the other hand, students who engaged themselves in the traditional mode of classes, can wage discussions and perform excellence in the academic field. Many researches till now entirely concentrated on online mode of teaching; there are instances where the online components have started including a number of traditional based courses, where the face to face activities of the class are supplemented rather than being replaced. According to Al?Qahtani, and Higgins (2013), there are however, fewer researches have been done to conclude how the students give response to the blended e learning method, especially when they engaged themselves into face to face interaction rather than the students to advance them in the online mode of learning. However, this creates a gap with the performance of the academic courses and the performance engagement. The emergences of the flipped classrooms are increasing the involvement while learning in the classroom. However, again on the on the online mode of studying, the positive outcomes are taken into consideration about the nature of the online activities. The students generally feel however, that the face to face interaction would develop a feeling of community. The online discussion, according to them, prevents them from developing the feeling of oneness. (Duncan and Fiske, 2015). Also on the other hand, students need to self motivated them in order to complete the tasks online; the instructor must act as the role of motivator. Thus, it is significant to make students learn the importance of both online communications and communication based on face to face. Conclusion The aim of this literature review is to seek the differences and similarities for a course, when the course is offered in either modern or traditional formats. After analyzing the measures, many conclusions have been taken into consideration. In order to make the course effective, a stipulated time must be allocated for teaching in online would act as an issue that the teacher might struggle as the load of the worker is higher. For the students, having familiarity with their own languages and the interest to shoulder the responsibilities for learning online would act as major factors in their course of their successes. The Students who carry efficiency in reading and learning have the tendency to perform much better in the online classes. The instructor must monitor and design the entire course to make sure that students are on the right track. In this case, the student management would remain significant.
