ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL METHOD OF TEACHING


Pre-technology education context, the teacher is the sender or the source. The educational material is the information or message.

The student is the receiver of the information.


The delivery medium chalk-and- talk method overhead projector (OHP) transparencies. In such a lecture students assume a purely passive role and their concentration fades off after 15-20 www.schoolofeducators.com minutes.

LIMITATIONS
Teaching in classroom using chalk and talk is one way flow of information Teachers often continuously talk for an hour without knowing students response and feedback. The material presented is only based on lecturer notes and textbooks. There is insufficient interaction with students in classroom. More emphasis has been given on theory without any practical and real life time situations. Learning from memorization but not understanding.

TEACHER THE GREATEST INNOVATOR


Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. To teach is to learn twice Teachers should guide without dictating, and participate without dominating The critical factor is not class size but rather the nature of the teaching as it affects learning.

LEARNING NEVER ENDS
