CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
In the field of education that based on digitized instruction
and traditional instruction method of teaching. Instructional
teaching plays a larger role in the field of education. The learning
of the students are will always be depend on how the students
understand the teaching method was perform.
Digitized instruction has reformed each sector it has grasped
and it is currently in the promising phases of altering academia. In
the coming decades if information technology has its approach,
education will be far changed, more immersive and hopefully
more constructive to the people than it is today. Digitization in
education industry has totally changed the learning and also the
educating method to a very notable extent.
The development of interactive technology introduced a
new generation of educational tools that have been praised as
revolutionary devices that hold great potential for transforming
the traditional learning environments. The emerging use of these
tools causes a transfer of the traditional learning model where the
classroom is the central place of learning driven by the teacher, to
a modern learning model in which the teacher is no longer at the
center of the learning process. For example, the portability and
connectivity of mobile devices, such as tablets or laptops,
provides children access to a broader and more flexible source of
learning materials than materials that are offered in traditional
classroom settings, such as blackboards or books (Goodwin,
2012). Technology can improve the learning or adopting of the
students in a precise instructing and has a terrific possibilities that
technological know-how can transform the mastering of each
students.
Traditional instruction the back-to-basics traditional
education method, also known as conventional education, is still
widely used in schools. The old-fashioned way of teaching was all
about recitation, for example students would sit in silence, while
one student after another would take it in turns to recite the
lesson, until each one had been called upon. The teacher would
listen to each student’s recitation, and they were expected
to study and memorize the assignments. At the end of the module
a written test or oral examination would be conducted; this
process was called an Assignment Study Recitation Test.
In traditional schools, teachers spend a lot of time devising
ways to assess their students’ progress and even more time trying
to catch up their slower learners while keeping the rest of the
class engaged. A flipped classroom solves for both of these.
Because students consume the content at their own pace,
because they are micro-tested in real time while doing so, and
because teachers receive in-depth reporting on all of it,
identifying students’ learning pace is effortless and precise. That
alone represents an epochal shift in education. The added benefit
emerges in the classroom, where teachers can focus their efforts
on working with slower learners. That means the end of guessing
about students’ progress, and with it the struggle to occupy faster
learners while committing time to work with stragglers.
More than two decades ago, the traditional instruction or
teaching used textbooks, chalkboards, and paper and pencils for
teaching and learning. In this environment, information would be
introduced to the class through lectures and whole class
discussion. During the time students were in class, they would
have the opportunity to ask questions on concepts they did not
understand. After the teaching process, an assignment was given
for the students to demonstrate their knowledge.
According to Ram (2008), the students did the exercises in
the classroom and the teacher was available to help them with
their difficulties. Human interaction between teacher and student
is perhaps the greatest advantage of traditional teaching
methods.
In this regard, researchers are opted to find out the effects
of digitized instruction versus traditional instruction on the
academic performance of selected grade 12 students.
Insisting upon the effect of digitized instruction and
traditional instruction to the students, the researchers conducted
a study about “Digitized Instruction versus Traditional Instruction
and their Effects to Students Academic Performance”
