Online Learning is Not a Subtitute for Classroom Learning
In this modern world, where technology has revolutionized the learning process through online education, still, traditional classroom-based education is more advantageous.
Although the hardship of going distances and using fuel and other necessities make it tiresome for many, it offers other great opportunities such as group learning, maximum human involvement, and less of a distraction.
Classroom-based education gives greater exposure to students to experience a diverse environment and foster a sense of competition and co-operation through group interaction.
It also provides many opportunities for teachers to evaluate the performance of students easily as the teaching is happing in an actual face-to-face environment.
Adding to it, the classroom learning greatly polishes the hidden talent of the students by giving them the following opportunities:
- Roleplay Activities
- Quizzes
- Subject Tests
- Presentations
All these practical activities provide a practical life situation such as giving a presentation on a topic or leading a group to accomplish the task.
Thus, a student who has already role-played such kinds of activities in the classroom may perform very well in real life situation because of the experience he has acquired in the class.
Apart from getting an education in an actual situation, the classroom’s environment gives a sense of responsibility, regularity, and form routines.
These routines, in turn, help the student to be systematic and well organized.
Following a routine life may be dull as it causes monotony in life but it does negate the chances of distraction.
The monitoring of the teacher of the students makes them alert to take interest in the class. This also creates a sense of seriousness in the students towards learning.
To conclude, one can say that classroom-based education has myriad advantages for the student to learn in a real situation where they get involved in various activities such as demonstration, presentation or performing in front of his classmates.
Such activites, in turn, build their overall personality for the practical life by inculcating a sense of responsibility, seriousness, and punctuality in the students.
