"Where are we going?, Where have we been?"

Throughout the world, people are looking for the progress in education to be essential in sustaining development. Through our subject course Educational Technology II, I’ve seen how education can be viewed from the two perspectives: Traditional Learning and Educational Learning. Our class were assigned to group ourselves into four and each two groups will represent either Traditional Learning or the Educational Learning. By watching each group presentation, this allowed me to critically reflect upon the way students and teachers carry out their quality of learning and teaching, and to identify the difference between Traditional Learning and ELearning. Traditional education is associated with much stronger elements of coercion than seems acceptable now in most cultures. Sometimes this include the use of corporal punishment to maintain classroom discipline or punish errors. In ELearning, corporal punishments aren’t allowed. When it comes to materials used, Traditional Learning, uses textbooks, lectures, and individual written assignments. However, in ELearning, is a project-based instruction using any available resource including Internet, library and outside experts. Modern day education is aided with a variety of technology, computers, projectors, internet, which make it differ from Traditional Learning that is usually done with the use of blackboard and chalk. As a future educator, it is important to know the difference between the two, to see how it changes the learning and teaching process, and where I can base my own style in teaching. Above all, don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
