Differences between conventional teaching and modern teaching

Conventional or traditional instruction consist of lectures, readings, and independent work. Modern techniques use investigations, manipulative, and group work.

Conventional teaching is the so-called "teacher-centered" instructions where the teacher delivers the curriculum and the students learn the material taught to them.

The modern contemporary methodology is the "student-centered" instruction where the students' learning styles, interest, and abilities determine the teachers' methodology in the classroom.
