Traditional Teacher
A Traditional Teacher typically follows established methods of instruction, focusing on direct teaching and structured lessons. This approach often involves lecturing, using textbooks, and assessing students through standardized tests. The teacher is seen as the primary source of knowledge, guiding students through a predetermined curriculum.
In a traditional classroom setting, students usually sit in rows, listening and taking notes. The emphasis is on memorization and repetition, with less focus on collaborative or hands-on learning. This method has been widely used in educational systems around the world, including those influenced by figures like John Dewey and Maria Montessori, who advocated for different teaching philosophies.
