Whether Digital Education has taken over Traditional Education?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, till date, the digital educational system hasn't taken over the traditional education system.

Traditional education system not only imparts knowledge to the students but also values, morals, personality development, soft skills etc, which are a major missing in online mode. Ergonomics of Classroom teaching is such as to facilitate proper sitting posture, visualisation, interactive study, doubt solving and mental relaxation which is a major drawback in digital mode of education.

That doesn't mean I am completely against the online mode. It plays a significant role in enhancing the skills as it doesn't limit the availability of teachers, courses, and have no constraints on their age. Students are even free to study according to their convenient time.

To conclude, I would say the current Digitalised education system is incapable of replacing the traditional method but no doubt it can be a great blessing to enhance their skills.

I would rather suggest a semi Digitalised offline education system incorporating the benefit of both the education system.

Thank you.

Hello friends.

This is Bipan Kumar.

In my point of view, digital education is a very good method to improve themselves because with the help of it anybody can find their solution easily especially during COVID-19. Punjab govt has given the laptops to the poor people who can't efforts, open the libraries which have related to tradition. In it, children can get knowledge of their culture, traditional n whole as well as our country.

Govt started a number of schemes but whenever every person can do help in it, it is not possible.

So, I request all person please motivate the children to get our tradition orally or digitally.

I am Pravin Kumar Manu.

I'm very thankful to participate in this group discussion today's our discussion on which one is better online or offline.

In my point of view, both have equal importance.

If a student who mature enough to understand their good and bad, they can study online. In the digital platform, the student should have be self-motivated. But if a student has not above mentioned things they should consider on traditional education.

I think during this lockdown so many teachers and student face problem in learning. Parents were worried about their child for not getting education due to COVID-19.

This digital platform for learning from home is good you can study wherever you want to do and it is good for teachers too. They can also teach students from their home.

But I think there are so many students who are not in full concn. While virtual learning.

While learning virtually there are so many notification going on in phone so it might disturb students. So many students suffering from headache, eye problems through light rays emerging from phone.

Specially, in rural areas student can't afford the smartphones, laptops for learning. Network problems are also there. So it is not good for their educational life.

And on the other hand, through traditional efucation students get their proper environment of stufies. They can ask their doubt to teachers and it is good for the students who are in rural areas.

So, Traditional education has taken over digital education cause it made so many lives better.

Hi guys.

Today we are here to discuss whether digital education has taken over traditional education.

Through my point of view, during this pandemic digital technology is like a boon for the students and teachers.

As They both get the platform to perform their duties.

2nd thing is that online study is flexible because you do whenever you want there is no specific time.

Those students who is not able to understand their lecture after seeing one time they have the option to see those lecture again.

But on another side, there is also some worse impacts of digital education.

Firstly, due to online learning most of the students suffering from eye strain, headache because of blue rays emerging from the smartphones, laptops.

Due to online learning, there is no interaction is possible between teacher and students.

Students are not able to ask doubts about online learning.

On the other hand, traditional education provides a physical environment.

Through which student get helps in to improve their personality.

In the classroom, the student remains active due to a little fear of teacher and listen to their subjects properly but in digital learning student have no proper seating or always seems lethargic.

The most fierce problem is that in online learning a lot of notification in smartphones disturb the concentration of students and multiple functions of smartphones compel students for doing other activities than to learning.

Or also in a rural area at some extent. Most of the students do not afford smartphones and also faces network issues. Poverty is also a big problem which deprives the poor students to studies.

Thanks to all.
