Teaching Support System: Traditional, Modern and ICT based.


Introduction

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.

The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has


challenged the traditional method of teaching and changed the educational landscape
globally. The teaching method is now divided into two different ways of thinking on
education, one is traditional and other one is ICT Method.

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.

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.
