The Shift of Traditional Instructions
Traditional Instruction is an approach where the Teachers are primarily the source of knowledge and information in which the role of the learners as a passive learner.
We also have experience a Traditional way of Instructions where we as a Learner listen, memorize and repaeat the information given to us by our teachers, up until technologies came, where all of us have an access to a broader knowledge or information, that Traditional way of Instruction shift into an Authentic way of Instruction, where the role of the Teachers becomes a facilitator that guides the learners to a meanigful learning.
The role of Learners in Authentic way of Instruction are active learning participants solving real life problems, it allows students to explore, discuss and construct ideas or concepts that helps the communities. Authenctic way of Instruction greatly affect education during Pandemic, despite the limitations of physical classroom set up.

This provides a thought-provoking comparison between traditional and authentic instruction approaches, highlighting the shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered education. This effectively illustrates how technology has driven this change, enabling students to access a broader range of knowledge and participate in more active and meaningful learning experiences. The benefits of authentic instruction are clearly outlined, including the development of problem-solving skills, collaboration, and community engagement. Notably, this emphasizes the value of authentic instruction during the pandemic, where its flexibility and adaptability proved particularly valuable. Overall, this presents a compelling case for the importance of authentic instruction in modern education. This is nice!
Speaking about the shifts in education, it is always fascinating to know how we have come so far from our humble yet equally important beginnings. Each point of shift has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the interesting aspect is that each of them has its own golden era, and so does ours today, which we call new learning. I, for instance, used to discriminate against the traditional way of learning as I often collocate it with the corporal punishment, however as we got the chance to talk about and learn more about it as educators, I realize that it has become a part of the blueprint to the design of the educational system we have right now.
