Short Discussion:

The roles of teachers, students, and instructions have been changed through changing
their approaches towards student-centered learning, active involvement, and personalized
approaches. With the limited opportunities for student's participation or engagement in the
learning process, the traditional model focused on teacher-student transfer of knowledge in
which the teachers are responsible for delivering information and instructing students.
However, the modern approach shows that the student-centered approach allows the
students to gain learning by themselves through critical thinking and applying information in
real world but the teachers are always available for guidance during the learning process.
Instruction has been changed in order to develop better learning outcomes and cater to
students' needs through the incorporation of various techniques, resources, and
technologies.
