THE FACE OF THE VIRTUAL AND TRADITIONAL EDUCATION

By Valentina Cortés 20191265074

Traditional and virtual education, two modalities that have received both criticism and praise. After the arrival of covid-19 the traditional educational modality had a drastic change, from being face-to-face in a shared physical space-with a student as a blank page and a teacher as a pen full of knowledge-to be transferred to a screen, many institutions had to look for technological alternatives to continue with the classes, but this entailed a great challenge, considering that not all children and students in general had either technological equipment or an internet connection, we have to recognize that traditional education allowed every child to have more possibilities to receive an education without major inconvenience, it allowed children to be more attentive in class, to solve their doubts with more ease and privacy with teachers, but now not everyone can access education and those who can, not always manage to have a good development, Either because the student or the teacher has had connection problems and quality study time is lost, or it has been seen that children, knowing that everyone present in the virtual class listens to their doubts, are afraid of being played and, say they feel intimidated. Although virtual education also has its advantages for both, teachers and students, for example, students have the opportunity to search for information on the web in real time to clarify doubts or reinforce the topic being studied as well as allowing teachers to use the web as an entertaining tool for teaching, but there are more cons than pros.

In my opinion, neither of the two are bad, it is only necessary to identify which archetype of person benefits more from traditional education and which archetype of person benefits from virtual education, as well as taking into account what resources the students have, if their tools fit well with the usual education or its alternative. However, it is clear that virtual education will never replace traditional education, the importance of face-to-face school is immeasurable because we will not only learn concepts, we will also learn to develop and live together in society, to optimally develop our social skills and also contributes to good physical and cognitive development.

Traditional education vs. online education   The current pandemic caused our environment and day by day to change, one of those things is education, people changed from going to a school every day, to seeing their teachers through a computer or telephone screen. However, online education and traditional education have pros and cons and it is important to recognize them.   First, in traditional education, motivation and discipline can be better in its development, students have a routine and it can helps to keep on task. Another advantage of traditional education is social interaction, students are more involved and participate more in classes, and interact more with their friends. On the other hand, in traditional education, foreigners spend a lot of money to study and for other people the trip to school is very long.   Second, in online education there are many pros, the first is flexibility, for students who are working or foreign students, online classes wi...

  Traditional education vs. online education / Was I prepared for online education? Certainly online education is not something new or recent, we already have seen this model of education in other universities or schools, even we were supposed to be related with this model because we use platforms online in our daily life, but nearly two years later since the beginning of the pandemic, we still struggling to adequate ourselves with this model. At the beginning of the pandemic when we knew that we had to stay in our homes and continue as we can, I had a lot of questions about online education. I used to ask myself, will I be able to work this way? What if I don't have an internet connection? And what about my teachers, will they be able to adapt themselves to this situation? So now, a year and some months later I can say that I prefer a hundred times more traditional education. I think that I understand more face to face, understanding the real situations and in an environment where...

  Traditional education vs. online education Have you ever wondered what the future of education would be like? Have you ever wondered if you are ready to use and take advantage of current technology and the one to come? I have asked myself these and many more questions about the future and about how I am going to deal with everything that involves the use of new technologies in all areas of our life, especially in the educational and labor fields. After the current situation of pandemic, quarantine, and health emergency prevention, it seems that the future that we saw so far ahead was a few years ahead of the present. This situation led to make use of technologies and especially virtuality as the main tool to try to continue with normal work and academic life and make it as bearable as possible. After spending approximately, a year and a half of academic and work virtuality, in many cases, there are quite a few comparisons between before and now; To be more specific, in the ed...
