An Educational Evolution
As the times change, so does the way we live our daily lives. Our education is also one of the many changes. Life is advancing with the rising era of technology. There are more opportunities available to get an education than times before, like online education. It is now up to the effort of students to succeed. With all the information technology has, we can now have education at the palm of our hands. Traditional education has been the only way students received education years before. With online education, students can go to school at any time and even graduate early while learning at their own pace.
Education is essential to building a solid path towards career goals. Interaction between students and teachers can be a large determinant of how well students learn in classes. Traditional education is needed for students who cannot afford to take online classes or have no access to the internet. Public schools are part of traditional education and are free of charge. Without public schools, many students would not learn how to read, write, or do basic math problems (Wile). Public schools offer many extracurricular activities and programs, like sports, for free (Wile). Teachers can form bonds with students and teach them life lessons (Saptono). In traditional classrooms, students socialize with their peers and learn at the same time (Saptono). They can also teach students how to be punctual and organized.
With traditional education, students have primary focus on their teachers, they are effortful, academically responsible, and stay focused (Chandler et al.). These advantages of classroom education benefit when applied to the working world and daily life. Conventional education allows students to ...

According to Jim Rohn, “Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.” Education plays a major role in the every society, which can hinder one or enhance one’s mind. The key to learning is staying focus and wanting to grasp information that will help one pursue higher education in the near future. Home and public schools both have their pros and cons, but they both instill knowledge within the students. When it’s time for kids to go to school, parents must decide what type of educational environment would be better for their child. The best solution is to find the perfect learning facility that the individual
Do students need an education where the curriculum ensures specific skills are taught at certain ages? What if the student is lazy and is not capable of self-education? This essentially amounts to a student in an environment that consists of disorderly chaos and educational negligence that they control, right? For countless years, there has been prevalent public debate on the various alternatives to the typical education an American student receives; in particular, unschooling, a non-traditional educational philosophy that bases itself on activities chosen by the student as the principal method for learning. While it may seem impossible for students to gather knowledge without a firm educational regimen, “Unschooling” by Sherry Parmet provides
Non formal education is non-structured and mostly takes place outside the formal setting. Informal education includes learning in daily life and be acquired in normal setting, through interacting with the environment. In the current times, the numbers of informal setting within formal setting has increased. Informal and non-formal education can be less intimidating for some people have potential of bearing more impact on children and young person as it involves personal learning. Subject experts in non-formal or informal setting can deliver more knowledge to the children. Additionally since this type of learning encompasses natural settings, children and young people are less likely to resist in learning new things (Awartani, et al., 2008).
The schooling system has become an accepted part of young education in America. Although this system creates a standard system without much deviation, it still provides children with many opportunities to develop their passions. Many people feel constricted by this set education, however, this education is the key to success later in life. The skills learned not only academically, but how to behave in a scheduled environment, guide children to behave correctly throughout their lives. The schooling system uses ideas of conformity to make children value the idea of working together while still gaining an abundance of knowledge.
...d if one studies the history of educational methods, one finds that every traditionalist theorist advocates hands-on methods where they lead to good results.” (Traditional Education is Progressive p.43)
Modern classrooms are essential to students and their education. the learning space should be contemporary and enable for learners of all learning styles and methods. it is essential that focus is on the learner and that their environment is created to aid them. As stated, it is important for classrooms to implement both a behaviourist approach as well as a social-cultural approach. this allows for the lack of intimate education with the child on a personal level to be achieved and create self-fulfilled learners. It caters for a broader range of teaching and allows for students to be taught more creative principles, where the behaviourist approach fails.
An area of great contrast between the two forms of education regards the student experience. For example, students may enjoy taking tests or listening to lectures in the comfort of their own home. However, this poses a major disadvantage of not being able to ask questions as they naturally arise. An online student may have to wait around for their instructor to respond to an email, whereas being present in a classroom permits questions to be asked and answered on the spot. Another advantage of attending a brick-and-mortar college is having access to classmates for study groups or help with homework. After reading several students opinions on their online classes, I have come to realize the overall expe...
The environment through which education is realized is critical for the learning children. In this aspect, there exist many forms of schooling that support education of children; public schooling, home schooling and private schooling. However, each method of schooling has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to other schooling methods. The above arguments are based on both home schooling and public schooling. Each schooling method focuses on pertinent issues that make the method as the most ideal compared to the other. Moreover, these arguments focus in realization of specific goals of education and education environments as indicated in each subheading.
School has been in our lives for the longest time and it has always been a positive experience. It sets students on a path to achieve their education goal and stepping stones to a career! Now with all the advancements in life, students have the opportunity to do online classes. This is useful if the pupil is not able to attend school or their school does not offer some classes that they would like to take. Experiencing both of these ways of schooling, I have an understanding of the differences between the two. The major differences between online school and traditional school are the flexibility opportunities, the communication with the teachers, and the time management/discipline from the learner.
Some students within society need to have online learning to complete college degrees due to their lifestyles. While it
Going to school and getting a great education is important for a successful future in today’s world. Years ago, many children did not go to school and many young adults opted to work instead of attending college. In today’s society, gaining a high level of education is almost always mandatory for many jobs. There are many changes being done to the education system along with new items and ways of teaching in the classroom. There is a growing amount of changes in the classroom such as technology, teaching time, teaching styles, and freedom of space.
In an age of rapid change due to so many technology and innovative advances, a revolutionary change in the educational system is as vital as what our next energy source is. Education is the most powerful wealth in the world and it demands more attention, and where better to start with than out youth. The school system will soon go out of date due to the information highway and information availability if there isn?t a dramatic change in the way things are run in our domestic institutional facilities. The reason why college was such a success in the 20th century was because books were all of a sudden available to students on university campus. Now with internet, a student could specialize their profession solely with the computer with the click of a button. Something needs to be done to smoothen the rigid gaps and cracks in the school system before the technological pace at which we are advancing decides to bring the whole thing down.
Schools bear most of the responsibility of preparing young people for the working environment. Children learn punctuality, time management, and to respect the authority of their teacher which prepares them to respect their boss. The curriculum also plays an important role. A class in civics teaches a child to be a good American, and a class in home economics teaches a child how to operate a househol...
The future of education is very promising to younger generations. From Kindergarten though college many changes are brewing. On the horizon are things like smart objects, full-length online courses, and prosthetic devices designed to equalize education.
Beside that“… [that] some U.S. states are now requiring young people to take a least one online course during their schooling” (Loertscher, Koechlin 50). The term of the online learning, it is demonstrated through some software have been provided by private cooperation to schools. These software such as Blackboard, Webex. Litmos, and others. Therefore, the online learning has become more available and reliable because of the technology development in the 21st century inspire of technology.
