Whether Digital Education has taken over Traditional Education?

Undoubtedly Digital Education has become the most conventional and most accepted form of education nowadays. Most people advocate for its positive impacts. But I want to put light on its few negative impacts.

1) It creates an E-Divide. Rural and poor people find it hard to access Digital Education. The rich and privileged student will take advantages. The unprivileged students will lag behind. This will widen the gap.

2) It increases screen time. This puts a lot of stress on the eyes and the mind.

3) Lack of Teacher-Student interaction. It a kind of a monologue, where only the lecturer delivers his lecture and there is no input from the student side.

4) Lack of hands-on particle. Student can't access laboratory through online mode. Physical training is missing.

5) Lack of interaction of students with their fellow classmates. No knowledge sharing. No traditional in-classroom discussion.

So, I conclude Digital Education has some negative impacts too. We can't overlook them. The government must help unprivileged students- provide free smartphones, free internet access, etc.

Hello everyone.

In the 21st century, digital education is more preferred.

Over traditional education especially in COVID pandemic.

1. Digital education has preferred over traditional education due to its flexibility in time, speed.
2. It made people attracted towards digital learning because it's cost-saving, convince, with better 3d visualisation.
3. Digital learning is useful for supplement courses like short term courses.

4. Practical knowledge of the particular subject is gained only through traditional classroom education.

5. Traditional education is more interactive and interesting, difficulties are discussed with a teacher outside the classroom also.

In my opinion, the traditional course is important for the degree course while for short term course digital learning is beneficial. Traditional classroom with digital 3d visualization training is better-integrated learning.

In my opinion, the growth rate of online education has increased but it has increased only for preparation for competitive exam but in case of primary education secondary and higher education it has not taken still people prefer the traditional mode of education because it creates an atmosphere of study and increase the social skill and it helps in making the discipline it also keep away from many types of disease like eye problem ear problem so the traditional also help in keeping fit. Many practical works cannot take with online study so traditional education still has its importance.

Hello everyone.

Looking at the current scenario it is true to some extent that digital education has taken over traditional education.

Students learning from private schools and good financial condition have adapted to this change finely.

But in the case of government schools, these steps are not taken seriously because of the improper implementation and unavailability of digital devices.

Students having a poor financial condition and especially those who belong to the rural area are lacking these benefits which can deepen their beliefs on the dissimilarity between rich and poor.

There are lots of teachers who still prefer traditional education and they are opposed to this change.

This change is only possible when each and every student will be able to avail this mode of education which seems hard at the moment but it is the need of the 21st century.

To make this change happen government needs to invest more in the educational field so that students never get the thought that education is for rich and urban people.

Hello friends,

No, digital education hasn't taken over traditional education completely as most of the peoples believe in traditional education system yet. But due to covid situation people become more familiar with digital education as compared to earlier.

There are some positive and negative aspects of digital education.

Due to digital education we can save our time, efforts and also money.

We can learn according to our own convenient time.

We can learn according to our choice means from our favourite teacher and also our favourite course too.

Audiovisual mode of education is achieved with the help of digital education which is very helpful in learning.

Animated 3D videos are very useful.

SWAYAM/ NPTEL which are government initiatives for digital education provides number of courses in very affordable price.

In digital education we get more options for learning and courses too.

There are some negative aspects of this digital education are there.

Practical knowledge we can't achieve by using online mode.

No interaction with teacher hence it becomes very monotonous.

Some students just join the online class and don't pay attention to the class they do other things in class timing.

Soft skills are not developed in online mode like personality development, communication, body language, etc which is very important nowadays.

No interaction with classmates and seniors and juniors too.

Tests are not given honestly in this online mode.

Some teachers need training on how to use the online mode.

The overall traditional education system is good but now we are in the 21st century so we have to accept the change for our betterment hence the semi-digital mode of education is best for us.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

Myself Shristi.

As the whole world went through the pandemic, many aspects of the economy got badly affected. One of the severely affected areas is education. So most of the schools and colleges opted for digital education. What I think is, yes, digital education is an effective means of providing education when not all the students can come to physical classes, but at the same time it may not be as effective as traditional education since many students are not used to it. On the other hand, digital education did not let students stay idle during the lockdown. It can be a good idea to introduce digital education but that has to be carried out simultaneously with traditional education. And of course, the availability of technology is both a challenge and an opportunity for digital education.

Hello everyone.

Digital education has taken over traditional education. As the term suggest, digital education is education through some sort of digital media like presentation, video tutorials, etc. While presentation and video tutorials are meant for educating the individual, online tests and quizzes are used to the test the understanding of the individual. With the advent of technologies in the recent years, this form of education has taken adopted by many worldwide in order.

Traditional form of education is one in which there is a teacher centered system where one teacher caters to the spreading of knowledge to an entire classroom of students. Here the teacher is able to clarify the doubts that they have instantaneously. A teacher also to clarify the doubts of a student, I believe that even in the case of digital education the clarification of type doubts of a student is also possible, though not always instantaneously. We have seen in corporation of many comment boxes or messaging tools incorporated with many of the e-learning sites which allows a student to post comments or doubts and in due time get replies from the faculty who is teaching the course. This type of method will also foster discussion among the different people who are taking the course because any of them can reply to the comment.

Can we compare landline phones to today's smartphones?

The technology used in both the devices must surely be different but the work is the same, to make a call. It's an advantage of smartphones that nowadays we can do almost everything on our figure tips.

Same like that as time passes, we have to adapt to the changes around us. We have been friendly with technology in today's world of AI.

This also holds true for Traditional education. We have to be digital because time and technology are growing rapidly so we also have to be smarter than these Machines.

Yes, it is also true that we can't completely depend on digital sources for education. Like people to people understanding, students and teachers attachment, level of satisfaction in traditional education, extracurricular activities, attachment with the peers.

Etc. These are the things that we can't archive digitally. But for these, we can work with technology to improve it in the future.

Think about adult education via the traditional system. Most people feel shy to talk about it but in the digital system they can present their doubts & views more efficiently.

It's also true that preferring digital education over traditional education can widen some gaps between our societies but it can be eradicated through providing quality education in government schools. The most important concern about digital education is that students feel seclusion in it. This can lead him to an increase in the level of anxiety, stress, depression, and lack of temperament. Eyeglasses from the very beginning to kids is Common today. So we have to develop a holistic approach to tackle these problems.

So, all in all, it depends upon person to person what is their mentality. Some students & teachers feel comfortable with the traditional & some are with digital. We can't ignore completely each one of them. Like our mixed culture.

The society we have to come up with a mixture approach for the advancement of education.

Hello everyone myself Vaishnavi.

According to me, digital education is better than traditional education because they can understand the topics very easily so they can remember the concepts for a longer period and that is the smarter way to learn the proper knowledge.

Students are more interactive in animations so they are interested in knowing the knowledge with self-interest.

They get motivated by the technology so they try to implement their ideas in which fields they have more interested.

They listen to the teachers full of concentrate and no more distractions have happened when they are reading.

So, finally, I want to conclude digital education makes the students in a smart way and that is the best platform for developing their skills.

I would like to vote that Traditional education is better because it helps students in many aspects like going outside and interact with folks face to face rather than online through digital media. By going outside students become bold and open to communicate more effectively.
