According to Dr. Chandraja 2024), the educational landscape is rapidly changing in the 21st century, necessitating a shift from traditional teaching methodologies to innovative pedagogies.

Teaching pedagogy in modern times has shifted from traditional chalk-and-board, memorization, and teacher-centered approaches to learner-centered ones, wherein the teacher serves as a guide and facilitator in the learning process. A learner-centered approach focuses on developing various skills in learners, such as communication, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, technology literacy, and more. In a classroom set-up, learners already dominate the learning process through exploration and firsthand experience. The teacher is on the side to guide whether what they are doing is correct or not. In this process, learners develop the skills to be independent and active learners, addressing their needs while promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equity.

The technology plays a vital role in teaching pedagogies in a modern way; education has become accessible wherever you are, and it is not limited to the four walls of the classroom. The integration of technology in modern pedagogies with conventional teaching methods creates a new setup of learning through hybrid learning environments, wherein both students and educators benefit.

In addition, transformative education will help bridge the gap between learners and educators. It will create opportunities to recognize the diverse needs of learners and utilize pedagogical approaches that are best suited for each learner.

In this way, learners are ready not just academically, but also physically and emotionally, to participate in society.
