TRADITIONAL AND IT SUPPORTED WAY OF LEARNING

Abstract

Traditional education involves teaching environment that is based on the classic lecture. The main aim of such education is acknowledge transfer from teacher to students, while the teacher is the source of knowledge and the student is the passive recipient. Traditional education is losing its significance, which is caused by development of modern information technology. In traditional education, organization and management of the educational process are entrusted to the teacher. The teacher is responsible for educational activities and is the backbone of the educational process. In contrast, computer supported learning makes it possible to eliminate a number of weaknesses of traditional classes, such as the lack of productivity and efficiency, insufficient practical application of acquired knowledge and skills, lack of teaching and learning adaptation to individual students’ abilities and lack of motivation to learn, receptivity of classical education dominated by verbal methods, lack of efficient monitoring of the knowledge assimilation course, etc.
