Today, in the 21st century understanding is more important than ever. That is why it is
vital for educators to use methods or techniques in teaching that will enable learners to
use their knowledge efficiently to solve problem in their daily lives.
Most of the teachers and experts have explored new methods of teaching and believe
that modern methods or the ICT method is better than the traditional method of
teaching.
When we talk about teaching methods then our society divides into three groups; one
group favors the traditional teaching methods, second group favors modern teaching
methods and third group is the one who supports the combination of both for effective
teaching.

In this article I will explain that what are the pros and cons of each teaching support
system and how we can integrate both traditional and modern teaching methods for
effective teaching.
The back-to-basics traditional education method, also known as ‘chalk & talk
method’
This old fashioned way of teaching was all about the recitation and memorization
techniques.
The traditional role of teaching focuses on the teacher as organizers of learning
activity,
The teacher carries too much of responsibility for teaching in the classroom to
make sure everything they are teaching is understood by the students.
Teacher is also responsible to control class where the teacher teaches using
blackboard, explains concepts, asks students to copy and makes sure that students
are paying attention
This technique of teaching is a one-way flow of information in which the teacher
often continuously talks for an hour or more expecting that when he asks a
question, the students will able to reproduce the same thing that he was talking
about.
Every important thing regarding the topic is written on the blackboard and
students make important notes from the blackboard. After the lecture is over
students revise their notes and try to memories the notes.
Instruction based on textbooks, lectures and individual written assignments
The main objective of traditional teaching is to pass the examination.
