Our tuition model is built around a collaborative approach that promotes teamwork and idea-sharing. Every lesson, case study, projects or research and assignments offers new opportunities to learn and grow as an individual. This method of teaching mirrors the reality of work in the IT and business sectors, ensuring that we prepare employees and present/future leaders to take control of their areas of influence and lead their teams to facilitate socioeconomic development.
Advantages of the Traditional Method of Teaching
- Active learning scope: The traditional teaching method has a huge scope for providing Active Learning. The Active Learning Environment is created primarily on account of students interacting with their peers and facilitators. This is the way in which learners learn best. The facilitator tirelessly addresses all queries, and also asks the learners questions that help boost their critical thinking.
- It provides a space for practical aspects of learning: All those learning experiments, best happen within a traditional set up. That is where traditional teaching scores massively, over its modern learning methods. Since there is a proper timetable for the students to follow, it teaches them the nuances of effective Time Management. This is on account of traditional teaching providing hands-on learning to the students, thereby helping them apply the knowledge they have learned.
- Provides access to important facilities: As all of the learning in Traditional Teaching happens on-campus, students have access to important facilities like libraries, canteens and computers. Learners will find it beneficial to be on campus and utilise all necessary facilities. These facilities assist in the enhancement of acquiring and developing new knowledge, skills and values.
- Balanced learning approaches: Traditional classroom learning offers students a healthy mix of activities that helps them be sharp both physically and mentally! While the other learning methods are convenient for flexibility and cost, the classroom learning method caters for all the various learning styles. This accommodates all learners with their predominant learning styles.
Disadvantages of the Traditional Teaching Method
- It is time- and location-bound: While this might invoke a sense of discipline in learners, the lack of flexibility makes it quite difficult for students to adhere to its stringent routine. Classroom time tables could become hectic, frustrating and at times, boring.
- The high cost involved: Classroom learning method speaks of a great deal of infrastructure to build those facilities of learning for learners which means high cost and investment. It is not adaptive to the needs of innovation and creativity. The teaching methods that are employed in this mode of teaching are Generic, as opposed to the more favourable ‘Learner-Specific’.
- Timetable bound: Lack of time and running after the schedule makes this method mainly theory-based, leaving little scope for activities that provide for a more holistic method of learning. In traditional teaching, there is a focus on passing tests based on a huge syllabus, and not understanding the techniques and skills that are required to find answers. The learning process is thus severely devalued.
- The daily commute becomes a problem: Daily commute to their places of learning might affect their pockets. There’s an even greater challenges in times like the COVID19 outbreak or merely heavy rains which makes it impossible to go to their learning places.
- There is no interaction with teachers after campus hours: Interactions with facilitators after classes are not possible because the physical contact is limited in space and time. Due to this fact, a lot of enquiries and issues go unsolved, unless they are solved on the spot.
