The recent development in information technology and information and communication technology have placed a significant impact on the teaching, curricular and institutes ...
What is conventional today is for the most part what was considered "modern" in the past. As a result, what is considered "modern" today will most probably be considered "conventional" in the future --if there is freedom to advance in our pedagogical development and not go stagnate or retrograde. Point is at the time we are teaching to make thoughtful decisions on the use of known and available pedagogical tools based on our determination of the context of the learning environment (which includes many factors such as the culture of the educational system, the financial support for it, and the knowledge of the learner,s, and more!) and especially the knowledge/ability of the teacher. Provocative and engaging RG question!
Well, it wouldn't be practical to assume that conventional ways of teaching will ever be completely replaced. However, witnessing the numerous technological advancements of the 21st century, we can observe that distance/online learning are getting more and more advocates everyday.
Those who can contribute to this discussion are a small minority of the world's population. There will always be a place for the village school with a blackboard and chalk somewhere in the world. A transmission pedagogy will be the most common style of teaching for those without electricity. The first step that any country will be taking is to raise literacy in the local language past 80%.
I believe to think of teaching in a conventional or nonconventional way is actually having a polarized view. Since decades, teachers have been experimenting with the so called traditional style of teaching albeit in a non demonstrative fashion. We all have had such gurus in our lives whom we preferred more because they taught us interestingly. So, i think conventional teaching can never lose its charm as that lays the very foundation.. but to do the same in innovative and creative and interactive ways wl always make more impact.
There must be coexistence of conventional and modernisation of teaching. Means we have to modernised the way of conversational teaching. We can't ignore the conventional way because it always act like pillars of any education system but on that strong plillar anybody can decorate in their unique way of modernisation.

What is conventional ways of teaching? What are characteristics of it? How are they change in the modern? upgrading or being replaced? That is my humble opinion
Technology is a tool to help in teaching and learning.so the main aspect of teaching or influencing or impacting remains still in the hands of the teachers.Depending on the level of the students,their learning capacity and availability of technology one has to teach and make it effective. Millennial are already knowing some things more due to access to internet hence collaborative learning (learning with the students) could also be useful.
ways of teaching are tools according to the development of each society, the motivation of teachers and empowering students should never be absent regardless of the technologies, which can advance or even change abruptly.
In todays and tomorrows world we need to work on practical skill combined with knowledge and creativity. Learning in practice for understanding and going beyond.
One of my concerns is that technology has added the ability for us to have a tremendous amount of information at our finger tip, but how much of this information does the student really need at any given time? Overload must be monitored for the child's developmental sake.
So, it is important that we do not get carried away with the fact that this ((world of information) is available but that we streamline what the student needs "now" and encourage them (in the curriculum) to develop critical thinking skills necessary to decipher what is important and what is not.
The teacher's role is being minimized and they are becoming non thinking ROBOTS in the rooms, to the detriment of the the short term and long term future.
Culture matters in every setting and this more than ever must become a major part of the curriculum to ensure individuality and some amount of civic pride in our various settings. This adds spice to who we are so when we come together we can appreciate our differences with wide eyes, and joy!
Conventional ways of teaching will always be relevant, depending on the culture and available resources. Story-telling has been a conventional way of teaching in the African culture that has been "diasporic" and continues to be even with modern technology being used for digital story telling for the 21st Century digital natives.
Technology will continue to dominate changes in the class room pedagogy. People get used to changes after a while. Approximately 40 years ago when I was going to graduate school we never had PowerPoint format for presenting. We had to make transparencies and show it using a projector. Similarly in 20 years from now new technologies will dominate the class room including perhaps VR, etc., who knows? The essentials of pedagogy will however continue, for example - answering questions, encouraging discussions, assigning projects that require critical thinking, etc. although some of these might have migrated to entirely online rather than face-to-face format.
Teaching today’s calls for a change in education approach from conventional to a more comprehensive way. Conventional teaching methods make students uninterested in class, discouraged, bored and do poorly in tests .
Everything changes, and traditional classes. Of course, this process is faster in richer countries. On the other hand, the teachers do not want rapid changes and innovations in the classroom, so that the process is reversible ... I think that traditional teaching is lost in that race ...
Conventional teaching methods will still be relevant in the educational space but incorporating the modern technologies will make teaching more interesting, engaging and with huge positive learning results on the part of the learners.
The teaching environment, around the world, is so vast and varied, there will probably always be a place for "old school" (no pun intended) ways of teaching. Over the years we have heard of the death of so many things, yet, many times these death notices are always premature. I suspect it is the same with teaching. True, the teaching environment is fluid and rapidly developing, But that is not happening everywhere, at least not yet.
Teaching methods are the set of steps followed by the educator during the educational process, in order to achieve a set of goals that seek to reach them, and these methods used are the result of the findings of scientists, and educators in teaching from previous times until the present time, and these methods were reached through Extensive and extensive study of the class of learners, and their behavioral and psychological conditions, and the multiplicity of these methods benefit the teacher in the field of his work in a wide, where the teacher chooses the way that serves his goal.
The way of educational process will change and improve as the communication tools changing. We have to find an optimum method to be success in teaching. Nowadays, technology of teaching is highly improved so we have to leave traditional way of teaching and take the advance technology.
For Traditional school in Serbia are needed radical, painful and system cuts that are related to its educational programs (curricula’s), approaches to the work (educational technology-methodology of work) and even the institutional-formal structure (but and non-formal education). In the last 10 years, the wrong moves from educational authorities made of the teachers ''persona non grata'', while on the other hand, students and parents were given all the possible rights. In addition, ICT made such changes in the classroom, where the average teacher is not up for, and much less qualified, to answer for requirements of the time and the needs of new generations. (''Keeping the classical class in such an environment is a nightmare for most of them''). Even If there are such, THEY DO NOT OFFER WELL DESIGNED E-CONTENT! The fact that nearly two decades was delayed the introduction of the subject Informatics and computers as a compulsory subject in primary schools in comparison to the countries in which pre-schoolers learn the basics of programming is devastating. Changes imposed at school of tomorrow (global and local) will go to all of the above directions. Serbia will regard to this, ''as usual catch the last train''.
The foundation of the methods of education is those traditional methods which no matter how the methods of education in the future have evolved, they will remain the basis because they are more interactive than the modern methods but may happen and education becomes more widespread in the world and it becomes the right of everyone to learn for free.
This is the real development step towards developing teaching in future
Well I think that convencional always will be there. We talk about technology and MOOC but MOOC is more convencional than anything. We have to see 1 person talking and talking with any personal participation.
In my opinion convencional ways will be in seminaries, formal classes and congress exponation. Academic never will desaparece it will change but it will be always in classroom and in the way that experts teach.
To teach is to teach and ways of learning are diferents during the time. There are not students bad are bad teachers. Motivation goes with the way we teach.
Conventional teaching will have to change, absorbing modern information technologies, implementing teaching methods and teaching instruments for new online media, Internet information services, including online media from the social media portals. Young people are already fully benefiting from this. If teachers do not use new media as instruments of modern education, then the whole process of education can gradually lose its effectiveness.
This answer depends in part on how you define "conventional teaching." Are we talking about a traditionalist paradigm versus a constructivist paradigm? Are we talking about older methodologies versus more technological methodologies? There are many ways to go here. But I will offer this as an answer. Teaching is an art. The teacher is an artist. Like any good artist, the teacher will be adapting both paradigms and methodologies to the situation to produce the best learning on the particular subject in question. The original question asks, "What is the future of conventional ways of teaching?" As long as there is material to be taught, there will always be a place for conventional ways to teach.
