Most university professors prefer to use modern teaching strategies
Undoubtedly yes. Particularly, active participation of the students is a must for me.

Yes. Modern teaching methods encourage the active participation of learners (learner-centred approaches). It yields better learning outcomes as I have personally realised.
Definitely the best methods of modern teaching ......
Because it helps greatly to deliver information to students in addition to keeping pace with modern development
There is no escape !!! Technology advances upon use starting with teaching (University level for sure )
What is modern teaching strategies in university teaching?
What do you mean by modern teaching strategies?
Yes, I prefer to use them but must be invested in a manner that suit the educational environment at my university, the nature of the subject and the scientific level of students.
Certainly there is difference between passive teaching/learning and active teaching/learning. Using modern teaching method the students will be attentive and the teacher has the control over the class.The teacher can provided more information than traditional way.
Teachers should focus on positive interaction between them and students. The effective communication between the student and the teacher provides a better atmosphere for a classroom environment.
Yes, but the modern teaching strategies would be intriduced as an add on and not a substitution of previous strategies. Education accepts improvements but it does not accept radical changes overnight, even when they seem positive.

Other teaching methodologies need to be used. If a Greek were to raise his head, he would be one of the few professions he would recognize. Today, with the volume of information available on the Internet, the figure of the teacher is limited to that of a guide and advisor, not a knowledgeable one. In other words, relations of power and submission have become democratized in the knowledge society.
Depends on what you mean by ‘modern’. Modern because they use the latest technologies? Modern because they have been improving and have been validated through research and practice? Some teaching strategies that are seen today as ‘modern’ have their roots far back in the past. ‘Project based learning’, for instance, is inspired in the medieval practices of ‘apprenticeship’. The ‘flipped classroom’ has been used for over a century within the Harvard’s ‘case method’.
Yes, because it will increase the consistency and quality of education
Dear بتسام صاحب الزويني:
Thank you so much for asking this most important question. I believe that Universities’ eager embrace of modern teaching strategies constitutes nowadays a set of proposals, especially if done with enthusiasm. Hence, we should look at all the relevant approaches available by introducing new teaching styles, as is the case of active methodologies, where students become the center of the educational process; the rote learning is completely rejected, thereby fostering their critical spirit through scientific methods, while influencing their leadership development, communicative, and collaboration skills. In the same way, for example, the flipped classroom as a teaching and learning approach entails both a theoretical and practical impact on English pedagogy as a foreign language. That is, firstly, students study and work on new material at home with videos or over the Internet, and then discuss and practice it with teachers in class, instead of the usual method where teachers present new material in school and students practice at home. Likewise, a task-based approach enriched by gamification strategies that consist of different tasks being designed with a view towards engaging students intrinsically in the learning process, in which they, from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, are required to work together online, for example, to complete different tasks at the same time as exchanging peer feedback and assessment. Like this manner, it also draws attention to the important role of communication as one of the main elements of telecollaborative tasks, thus promoting their intellectual development and communicative competence, while building bridges between the classroom and the external reality.
Accordingly, I believe that several interesting implications may arise from these approaches:
1) Such methods are justified by Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development, which focuses on social interaction and engagement in a meaningful learning.
2) Teaching materials, which settle on and make clearly visible to the students’ consciousness their textual, contextual, cultural, intercultural, and pragmatic convergence.
3) Using new technologies and internet resources to find and process information (ICT), as productive and recreational use of language, turns linguistic, intercultural, and digital from knowledge in one direction into transversal and more significant knowledge. In addition, such an approach provides an adequate guidance and cooperative group work that encourages the active participation of students and leads to their learning.
4) Students are equipped with the critical thinking, autonomy at work, and problem-solving skills necessary to assess challenges and implement creative solutions.
5) Students are engaged in purposeful and intellectual activities through social and skilled interaction, thus encouraging them to convey their creativity, since the definitive goal of learning is creating an independent learner.
Best wishes,
Javier.
The role of the universities is to create new knowledge. If new modern strategies are not followed in any university, that university will remain legged behind.
Yes, we are highly encouraged to make use of modern teaching methods.
Dear Dr. Oluwaseum A Otekunrin
Thanks for your useful recommendation. The same will be incorporated in coming article. Things are changing so as to LISc teaching and research to cope the situation
Yes, I think experiental learning is a must today. The information is available to virtually everyone everywhere, so it is the "real feeling" of the theroy that teachers must provide.
I find that it is easier for newer teachers to use modern modalities, but too often they are influenced by "old guard" faculty who quickly try to align them with the "way we've always done it." This is deadly to the academic environment. In a profession such as mine (Nursing Education) the idea that we preach "evidence-based practice" and yet refuse to utilize current pedagogical evidence to inform our teaching practice is frankly, absurd. We are no longer educating the same students with whom we went to school. Students today have an infinite amount of information available to them in their pockets, but lack guidance regarding how to use it. That is the function, in my opinion, of faculty today. Through directed questioning and encouragement of critical thinking, we need to help the students wade through the plethora of information and learn to use it in practical applications. Education needs to stop being teacher-focused and start being learner-focused. Students need to be given the opportuntiy and responsibility for taking charge of their own learning. They need to be active participants in knowledge and skill acquisition or they are merely passive recepticles that we fill up with facts in hopes they can pour them back out for the exam. This isn't learning; it is fact regurgitation. Concept-based curriculum and flipping the classroom are ways in which students become active in their education. Strangely, one of the oldest methods of instruction, Socratic questioning, seems to fit right into this model.
Currently, I am facilitating a collaborative-constructivist online learning program "Post-Industrial Learning: Models and Practices" for educators in Ukraine. This program was developed based on 3-year research at EILAB UOIT, Canada in partnership with few Ukrainian universities.
I do recognize that modern teaching methods are not totally separated from the traditional ones, so for me I see it more of a continuum that can be traversed as the need arises, using a mixture that the teacher chooses depending on the situation.
many thanks,
debra
Yes, I do use the modern teaching methods as they involve interactive teaching methods. The practices of modern teaching focus more on the individual student’s needs rather than accepting all students as having the same level of understanding. The modern teaching methods are more activity-based, using questioning, explaining, demonstration and collaboration techniques, among others. Modern teaching methods encourage students to cooperate and thus are more productive than the traditional methods.
Tefera, I agree. Keeping students active and engaged makes the learning deeper and more meaningful. We must become facilitators of learning, but students need to be shown how to take ownership of their own learning if they are to gain anything and develop the skills for deeper inquiry.
I think the word 'modern' is what throws me off. I would prefer to look at it as traditional teaching strategies verses non-traditional. If we are talking about the non-traditional methods, I think that it depends on the area/subject of the course and the comfortability of the professor. New is always exciting but if it is not done well, it could also be confusing to the students. With recent research it is important to understand the new age of learning and adapting it to the needs of the students.
I believe in student centered teaching. As a high school/secondary school teacher, students are hands on and relate their lessons to real life experiences. Educators, whether elementary, secondary or post-secondary have to make their lessons relevant and relate able to their students' lives.
dear dr.
Yes... active learning and student participation are essential to enhance the educational process. i wish to invite you to attend the continuing medical education seminars that are based on the Sheffield University gateway course. We will explore the various aspects of enhancing teaching with special focus on medical education... it will be held in Alnahrain College of Medicine from the 7th of Feb 2018 for 3 days...
Of course student and teacher prefer to use modern teaching strategies in teaching
Undoubtedly the teachers we must use modern teaching strategies. It would be a big mistake to use last century methodologies because students and educational possibilities have changed.
As an educator who has taught at the elementary, secondary and post-secondary level, I teach the same, modern teaching methods. Regardless of the student, differentiated instruction, making sure each student understands before we move on is the goal. Hands-on (activity-based) instruction, peer collaboration and guided questioning has always worked, no matter the level of the student.
Definitely! We are living in the 21st century and we are dealing with Mellinieals, digital natives. Traditional methodologies are of no use anymore. Today in the classroom, a teacher is not only a teacher and a student is no only a student. They both learn from one another.
yes. teaching which makes learners master the subject matter in order to develop innovations to meet national and international sustainable development goals

The use of technologies in teaching, unfortunately not available in all countries, can enhance learning experience immeasurably if judiciously done. It can make learning auditory, visual and also a blend of both. The role of teacher in such teaching is that of a mediator and a stimulator. He shouldn't merely paraphrase what is clearly heard or seen by the learner as it happens in most powerpoint presentation.
I am not a university teacher, but using modern technology is a need of time! Though face to face interaction is the best method of teaching!
