Short Discussion:
In the past, the relationship between teachers and students was often characterized by a more
formal. Teachers were authority figures who imparted knowledge through lectures and
textbooks, while students were expected to listen attentively and follow instructions without
much room for personal expression or creativity. Instructions were primarily delivered through
traditional methods such as blackboards and textbooks, with limited use of technology or
interactive tools. The focus was more on memorization and rote learning, and there was less
emphasis on critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world application of knowledge. While on
giving instructions, it was often one-way communication, where teachers would dictate tasks and
expectations without much room for discussion or feedback. The learning environment was
formal with strict adherence to rules.
In contrast, today's education landscape has proven a significant changes, with a shift
towards a more student-centered approach. Teachers now strive to create engaging and
interactive learning environments that cater to diverse learning styles and interests. Students are
encouraged to actively participate in their learning process, express their opinions, and engage in
collaborative activities with peers. Instructions are delivered using a variety of multimedia
resources, online platforms, and interactive tools that make learning more dynamic and
personalized. There is a greater emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and skills
development that are applicable to real-life situations, preparing students for the challenges of
the modern world.
