Collaborative vs. traditional learning

Teaching method is: The chain of procedures done by the teacher inside

the class room.

The old (traditional) method mainly depends on the teacher without the student participating in it, and the student is just a receiver for information that the teacher presents to him…without letting him be a part of it.

The modern teaching method :

an interactive method which depends on the teacher as well as the student, since the student receives and sends information in the class.

Differences :

their problems and how to solve them

The effects of old method on the student:

1.A receiver of information only. 2.Not allowed to participate. 3.Depends on memory only

Modern teaching effects:

1.Plays a positive role. 2.The student is sender and a receiver of

information. 3. The student is allowed to say his own opinion.

Is it Really worth!!

Survey : “ at At-teba school – Jeneen”

its proofed at 30 teachers as a fifty fifty division… the result was that the collaborative teachers was excellent, satisfied and the students performance seems creativityon the other hand the old learning teachers themselves cannot give a good response and there is no improvement in students performance.

Hope to be useful
