Learning means gaining knowledge. Learning is something that our ancestors have been doing for generations and we have been doing it too. Learning is something we did yesterday, today, tomorrow and then and is doing now. In daily life, we learn something even from the events we experience when we get up in the morning, and we learn even more in schools.
There is more than one form of learning. It is divided into traditional learning and online learning. Traditional learning is a learning system that has been done since ancient times and is taught to students by teachers in schools. In this learning system, students are explained visually and physically. In this way, students can visualize the things explained in the lessons in their imagination and learn more easily. However, the fact that they have to get up early because they go to school and that some students learn better by working rather than listening is a major disadvantage in this education system.
Online learning, which is another learning system, is the learning system that students are subjected to, especially in times of pandemic. In this learning system, students who did not need to get up very early in the morning were also able to arrange more time for themselves and socialize more due to their increasing amount of time. However, the conditions of online education, such as looking at computers for hours and sitting in front of the screen all the time, can cause serious permanent damage to students in terms of health.
In my opinion, if the disadvantages and advantages of traditional learning and online learning in schools are compared, it is understood that traditional learning will be a more permanent and more effective form of learning.
