Three Disadvantages of Traditional Classroom Learning

In a conventional educational setting setting, students are made to sit passively while the instructor provides a session. There are reasons as to why many instructors seem disappointed with this exercise. For now, I shall limit myself to only three:

a. Kids' concentrate is set in the wrong direction; in taking notices rather than understanding and taking in new principles.

Result:

• students' lack of ability to understand key ideas and ideas,

• Unsuccessful class purpose.

b. Too much concentrate on demonstration, short period remaining for practice: Since a instructor has to provide a set number of principles within a short while, most educational setting activities are sufficed to the demonstration level only. Practice is remaining for the undergraduate to do as preparation.

Result:

• This strategy does not allow for students to research with new principles. Their studying is put to a stop at a certain stage; they end up stuffing principles, and cannot produce anything successful, except common answers to examination questions.

• Furthermore, many students might get trapped while doing issue sets at home. This too thwarts their performance. If they cannot expert one idea, and have been incapable to exercise it effectively, we cannot possibly anticipate them to understand a more recent idea based on the previous one,

c. A instructor's session is generally one-size-fit-all. Not every undergraduate has the same speed of studying. While some students can follow the instructor's session with comfort, most of the others require a chance to chow on the information that they are getting. Also, each undergraduate has a different studying style. You can't anticipate a kinesthetic undergraduate to expert a idea by just enjoying a session. If a visible undergraduate gets worse qualities than an hearing undergraduate, it doesn't mean that the former is slowly or dull; it might simply mean that the educational setting strategies were designed for the hearing undergraduate only.

Result:

• This results in the students' lack of ability to keep speed with the teachers'. The world generalizations them as 'slow learners'.

• Inadequate qualities and lagging in educational setting performance is a major factor to a bad self-image and lack of confidence. In fact, the failing of many students to achieve what they are capable of achieving can be linked to the above aspects.

• This not only mars potential ability, it also causes problems to a lot many devoted and diligent instructors.

The conventional public university program and educational setting methods are far from perfect. The liability befalls the shoulder area of us educationists that we review the aspects which make the present university program worthless. Only then would we be able to fix these trouble spots to make classes that provide. In the future, I shall be publishing more on these issues, and offering practical solutions to them.
