THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM
It
may be observed that classroom are usually arranged with neat columns and rows
of student chairs, while the teacher stands in front of the classroom or sits
behind his/her desk.
This situation is necessitated by the need to maintain classroom discipline and
also to allow the teacher to control classroom activities through lecture
presentation and teacher-led discussion.
However,
after spending so many minutes in lesson presentation and class management,
student can get restless and fidgety.
Often enough, the teacher has to also manage misbehavior in class as students start to talk among themselves or simply stare away in lack of attention.
To prevent this situation, teacher often make student take
time to work individually on worksheets can help the situation.
Another
option is now presented and this is adopting the idea of developing student to
be independent learners with the end of making them critical and creative
thinkers.
Wow! Nice blog of yours. :) You introduced well the traditional classroom and the meaning of student-centered learning. In addition, student-centered instruction focuses on the independence and skills of the students which is based on the constructivist learning theory of Jean Piaget. :)

for me traditional classroom should be updated and upgraded for the efficiency and more effectivity of learning. Teacher should have the proper strategies and classroom management to have a better learning outcomes.The improvement of technology must be integrated to school class rooms so we can have an effective technology based traditional classroom environment
