Some Basic Comparison Between Old and New Generation:
Much of the good things enjoyed by elders when they were students are no longer available to the new generation.
Text
vs. Visual
Our
parents read book text, enrich by illustrations and photos. In order to
research, they go to the school library, use the card catalogue for needed
books and sign up to borrow books for home reading.
Linear
vs. Hyper Media
The
past-30 year old generation obtained information in a linear, logical and
sequential manner. On the positive side, this made them more logical, focused
and reflective thinkers.
Independent
vs. Social Learners
The
traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to
participative work.
Learning
to do vs. To pass the test
Old
teachers teach students in order to help them pass tests and complete the
course requirement.
Delayed
rewards vs. Instant gratification
The traditional reward system in education consists in the grades, honor certificates/medals and diplomas. Including future jobs, the traditional rewards for the performance.
Rote memory vs. Fun learning
