The document discusses the differences between traditional teaching methods and active learning strategies, highlighting the roles of teachers and learners in each approach. Traditional teaching is characterized by a teacher-centered model that emphasizes rote learning and passive student participation, resulting in limited retention of information. In contrast, active learning fosters engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking, promoting a deeper understanding of concepts and the overall development of learners.

 Also known as: Conventional Method, Lecture Method,
Chalk-and-Talk Method, Teacher-Centric .
 Most commonly used method.
 Teacher act as sole source of information.
 Learners receive information passively.
 Conducted within the four walls of classroom.
 Focuses on development of cognitive domain only.

4. Role of Teachers & Learners in Traditional
Method of Teaching
Teachers’ Role
 Knowledge transmission
 Knowledge of content
 Emphasis on discipline
 Focus on completing the course
 Focused on to use lectures and
textbooks
 Promote rote learning
Learners’ Role
 Taking notes
 Listening to lectures attentively
 Answer questions, if asked
 Memorizing concepts
 Completing assignments
 Passive participation in classroom
teaching

5. How Learners Retain Information
10% of what they read
25% of what they see*
50% of what they discuss
75% of what they practise
5% of what they listen
Based on the Learning Pyramid model by
the National Training Laboratories Institute,
and later in the book Audio-Visual Methods
in Teaching (1954) by Edgar Dale.

* According to the Learning Pyramid model, learners retain
20% from audio-visuals, and 30% from demonstrations;
hence the average under ‘see’.

6. Continue…..
 From the graph it is clear that traditional teaching ensure
maximum retention of information at students level is 25
percentage.
 It is because, it dose not provide platform to students for
classroom discussion.
 Also it dose not engage students in classroom practical
work.
 It promotes one way communication in classroom.

7. Questions ???
 Which methods ensure maximum retention of concepts
at learner level?
 Which types of teaching methods as a teacher we
have to adopt in over classroom that promotes
concept understanding rather than rote memorization
of concepts ?
 How to teach in over classroom that ensures the
overall development of learners’ cognitive, affective
& psychomotor domain?

8. Active Learning Strategies
 Set of instructional methods, models and approaches.
 Promotes kinesthetic learning inside and outside the
classroom.
 Engage students in small groups’ activities.
 Promote critical thinking, logical thinking,
cooperative & collaborative learning.
 Promote conceptual understanding over
rote memorization of concepts.
 Promotes overall development of learners.

Teacher centered method Student centered method
Promote rote learning Promotes conceptual learning and experiential learning
Emphasis on cognitive development Emphasis on development of cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domain
Limited use of technology (technology lag) Integration of technology
Learning limited within the four wall of
classroom
Learning is not restricted within the four wall of classroom
Low level of learning possible High ordered learning possible
Learners receive information passively Learners receive information actively
Learners learn the concept with common
