Understanding the Paradigm Shift in Teaching and Learning

Understanding the healthy paradigm shift in teaching and learning

The paradigm shift takes place in two ways such as technology in education and

technology of education. It can reveals as the following diagram

The technology or technique helps human being to become comfortable. Here

have to understand that utilization of technology alone can’t be a healthy paradigm

shift in teaching and learning process. To reclaim, to revamping, rejuvenating the

skills, ethics, social, cultural values, morality, patriotism, empathy it is need of

the hour to make assistance of technology in education along with traditional

technology of education. It is not meaning that all traditional methods are need to

shift but the valuable ancient methods are also need to practice in the modern class

room to sustain humanity.

Sum up

The inventions and discoveries will be takes place as long as human being present

in the earth. The technological inventions and adaptations of new methods have

to enhance humanism and have to make remain human as human being. So any

paradigm shift should not allow disseminating or decreasing the humanism. And

the paradigm shift should not allow make distance the teacher away from students.

It can conclude that any paradigm shift never replace a teacher in teaching learning

process.
