Power and responsibility are held by the teacher and they play the role of instructor (in the form of lectures) and decision maker (in regards to cirriculum content and specific outcomes). They regard students as having 'knowledge holes' that need to be filled with information. In short, the traditional teacher views that it is the teacher that causes learning to occur. MODERN TECHING Modern teaching involves the use of different recourses such as media, internet, so on. Most of the learning opportunities through pair-work, group-work are not missed because there is an interaction between the students and teachers; and this activities count learning from peers. Critical thinking opportunities are developed by modern teachers because they create the conditions, the atmosphere in the classroom, students feel comfortable and they ask question when they have any doubt. However, our definition of teaching in academia should be more comprehensive and flexible; it is a social activity requiring complex yet organized interaction between both the instructors and the students for knowledge acquiring and skill gaining by both parties. REFECTION Some believe that modern methods are better than the traditional method of teaching but yet these two methods are both a successful way. In my opinion, every method in teaching is the same for they deliver the same message to the students. Therefore there are pros and cons in each way of teaching. The pros for traditional methods where teaches took too much of responsibilities for teaching in the classroom to make sure everything they thought were understood by the student. There was also the typical way and a controllable class where the teacher would teach on the blackboard, explained, asks students to copy and made sure students paid attention and listen. Besides that, the traditional way in disciplining students in school and teaching them was an effective way in building a good characteristic student where students were afraid of their teacher and respect them, but in traditional method way students were afraid to ask their teacher questions. On the other hand, the pros of modern method in teaching help a lot where there is a centered classroom which is created by the teacher and accepted by the students. In modern method students are aware of their learning process through the computers. Thus with the help of computers teachers prepare their work in their thumb drive and present it to the class through slides show which is an easier way. And students can do their studying and their work all in the computer without depending 100% on their teacher in schools. Besides that, there is also classroom contract which consists on agreement between teachers and student regarding on how each will contribute to and behave in the classroom to start building a student s expectation towards independence. Therefore students even have a bonding relationship with their teacher to be their friend so that they can share their problems to the teacher without being afraid , but in modern method of teaching students become too independent where they think they don t need guidance from anybody because they think they can accomplish anything by themselves. Thus with the use of computers in school children gets distracted with online games and websites to browse on besides their studies which will cause them distraction.
