Big differences! Traditional & Modern!


In our country Malaysia, the education styles have been changing in time and the developments never ever stop. Between the traditional education and modern education style, there are many differences that can be spotted. Let us see them one by one.


This Is How Old Days School Looks Like
Classroom


Traditional:
To be selected in a classroom. Students in old days matched by age, and possibly also by ability. All students in a classroom are taught only with the same material.

Modern:
For the students in this modern era, to be selected in a class students dynamically grouped by interest or ability for each project or subject, with the possibility of different groups each hour of the day. It can be either multi-age classrooms or open classrooms.


Teaching Methods/Materials.

Traditional:
Traditional education’s students learn through listening and observation. They concentrated only on theory learning and abandoned practical way of learning. The materials uses in this type of education are instructions that based on textbooks, lectures, and individual written assignments.


Modern:
Progressive education which emphasizes on hands-on activity, group activities and presentation in the class hours. The materials use to do any of the project given is based on instruction and will be using any available resource including Internet, library and outside experts.


Social Aspects.

Traditional:
In old days, education has little or no attention to social development. They only focus on independent learning. Socializing largely is totally discouraged except for extracurricular activities and teamwork-based projects only it is allowed.

Modern School Nowadays
Modern:
In the new way of education style, they are more focussing on the significant attention to social development, including teamwork, interpersonal relationships, and self-awareness.










All in all, its proven that the tradition way of education practices are way too different from the current education practiced.To end this second article,I leave all of you readers with a video will display a school that had been set up since year of 1968 and its still exist until now.Just imagine how many styles of learning had been practiced here.Assalamualaikum.
