CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

In the field of education that based on digitized instruction

and traditional instruction method of teaching. Instructional

teaching plays a larger role in the field of education. The learning

of the students are will always be depend on how the students

understand the teaching method was perform.

Digitized instruction has reformed each sector it has grasped

and it is currently in the promising phases of altering academia. In

the coming decades if information technology has its approach,

education will be far changed, more immersive and hopefully

more constructive to the people than it is today. Digitization in

education industry has totally changed the learning and also the

educating method to a very notable extent.

 The development of interactive technology introduced a

new generation of educational tools that have been praised as

revolutionary devices that hold great potential for transforming

the traditional learning environments. The emerging use of these

tools causes a transfer of the traditional learning model where the

classroom is the central place of learning driven by the teacher, to

a modern learning model in which the teacher is no longer at the

center of the learning process. For example, the portability and

connectivity of mobile devices, such as tablets or laptops,

provides children access to a broader and more flexible source of

learning materials than materials that are offered in traditional

classroom settings, such as blackboards or books (Goodwin,

2012). Technology can improve the learning or adopting of the

students in a precise instructing and has a terrific possibilities that

technological know-how can transform the mastering of each

students.
 Traditional instruction the back-to-basics traditional

education method, also known as conventional education, is still

widely used in schools. The old-fashioned way of teaching was all

about recitation, for example students would sit in silence, while

one student after another would take it in turns to recite the

lesson, until each one had been called upon. The teacher would

listen to each student’s recitation, and they were expected

to study and memorize the assignments. At the end of the module

a written test or oral examination would be conducted; this

process was called an Assignment Study Recitation Test.

In traditional schools, teachers spend a lot of time devising

ways to assess their students’ progress and even more time trying

to catch up their slower learners while keeping the rest of the

class engaged. A flipped classroom solves for both of these.

Because students consume the content at their own pace,

because they are micro-tested in real time while doing so, and
because teachers receive in-depth reporting on all of it,

identifying students’ learning pace is effortless and precise. That

alone represents an epochal shift in education. The added benefit

emerges in the classroom, where teachers can focus their efforts

on working with slower learners. That means the end of guessing

about students’ progress, and with it the struggle to occupy faster

learners while committing time to work with stragglers.

More than two decades ago, the traditional instruction or

teaching used textbooks, chalkboards, and paper and pencils for

teaching and learning. In this environment, information would be

introduced to the class through lectures and whole class

discussion. During the time students were in class, they would

have the opportunity to ask questions on concepts they did not

understand. After the teaching process, an assignment was given

for the students to demonstrate their knowledge.

 According to Ram (2008), the students did the exercises in

the classroom and the teacher was available to help them with

their difficulties. Human interaction between teacher and student

is perhaps the greatest advantage of traditional teaching

methods.

In this regard, researchers are opted to find out the effects

of digitized instruction versus traditional instruction on the

academic performance of selected grade 12 students.

Insisting upon the effect of digitized instruction and

traditional instruction to the students, the researchers conducted

a study about “Digitized Instruction versus Traditional Instruction

and their Effects to Students Academic Performance”
