Traditional Classroom Instruction

Traditional Classroom Instruction is a teaching methodology where learning occurs in a physical classroom setting with an instructor leading students through structured lessons, lectures, and activities. It typically involves face-to-face interaction, direct instruction, and a fixed schedule, often using textbooks, whiteboards, and other physical resources. This approach emphasizes teacher-centered delivery and standardized curricula to impart knowledge and skills to learners.

Also known as: In-person teaching, Face-to-face learning, Conventional education, Brick-and-mortar instruction, F2F instruction

It's particularly useful for designing blended learning systems, creating instructional materials, or when transitioning to remote teaching by identifying what aspects of traditional instruction to preserve or adapt. Knowledge of this methodology helps in analyzing learning environments and improving educational outcomes through technology integration.
