FOREWORD

According to Salman Rushdie “The only people who see the whole picture, are the
ones who step out of frame.”. Since we are now in the new world full of innovations,
we can now see the essence of Education Before. Have you still remembered the
classroom setting before? Our teacher has always been very busy in teaching us
different learning areas and do all the talking the whole day. The discussion was
detailed and clear because the teacher was then the source of information. Our
teacher had direct contact with us especially when we have doubts about the topic we
discussed. All we did was just to sit and listen till the whole session ends.

Traditional Education is defined as teacher-centered delivery of instruction to classes

of students who are the receivers of information. Traditional schools generally stress
basic educational practices and expect mastery of academic learning in the core
subjects of math, reading, writing, science and social studies. Teachers are the
instruments by which this knowledge is communicated and these standards of
behavior are enforced. Traditional education is where you emphasize mastery of basic
skills and the pursuit of fundamental facts and knowledge.

In traditional way of teaching, teacher serves as fine examples because students

believe that their teacher is the cleverest person in the world and her each decisions
are absolute. Teacher stands in front of the class reading textbooks leading to
workbooks based on predetermined curricula. The teacher is considered a respected
role model in the community. Students should obey the teacher. Motivation was based
on punishment, rewards or competition. Traditional students usually learn by
memorizing and storing information without the help of notes.

SYNTHESIS

Traditional learning starts from the idea of total control of the teacher over
students in the way a curricular content is taught (Novak, 2003: 128; Lulat, 2005: 179).
In other words, the teacher conceives their students as "empty holes" in knowledge
and only through their teachings the “holes” can be "filled". In a traditional school,
students are measured according to their individual achievement and are encouraged
to master skills such as working independently, sitting quietly while listening to a
teacher and taking turns talking. It focuses on student achievement, and typically
provides some standardized measure of achievement. Report cards, grades and

promotion from one grade to the next are hallmarks of a traditional education .

Learning begins with the teacher sharing his knowledge with students, proceeds with
discussions between the teacher and the students and ends with the new information
written in notebooks.

Traditional education offers numerous benefits for students. Students actively

participate in all the activities and help each other in study related matters. They have
a chance to ask teachers to clarify something if it is not clear or when they have any
problems. There is a high level of communication between a student and a teacher,
as well as between students. It is always scheduled and properly carried out. Students
always have schedules of their lectures and tests. Due to this, students become more
disciplined. Learning from books than the digital system is healthier as well as
recommended psychologically and is as strong practice as compare to the digital
learning.

Different types of Education have always its drawbacks. Since teacher is the
source of information, all students are dependent on their teachers in every study
related matter. Such dependence suppresses students’ creativity so that many of them
never get to know their strengths. Traditional education is cost demanding. Tuition fees
are usually very high. In addition, all the textbooks and other school things are quite
expensive. Some parents face difficulties spending money on all the things that school
requires.
