FOCUS

kindergarten pupils

teaching approach in

According to Levinson (2014)
All children may appear to be inattentive
at times. The inattention is not because
they are being oppositional or deliberately
disobeying. (a) physical environment (b)
the materials that are used in teaching, (c)
lack of motivation (d) how the teacher
performs in class.
Singh (2011) Traditional teaching
includes different traditional materials
such as charts, chalkboards, textbooks,
small pictures, posters, maps, globes,
flash cards, flip cards, worksheets,
quizzes, reference books, learning toys
and abacus.
Beck Hobert
(2009)
-traditional teacher-centered
methods focused on rote
learning and memorization. -
Moreover, traditional
approach also insisted that all
students be taught the same
materials at the same point:
students that did not learn
quickly enough failed
Ivers, (2009)
traditional approach like
pen and paper
assessment, board and
chalk, charts, manila

seldom used nowadays.
Seymour Papert

learning if it is used as a tool and an
intellectual partner that can help students to
think.

. Throughout history, media and
technology for learning have influenced
education.

this support the notion the level of enthusiasm
