About Classroom Education vs Distance Education

Since the discovery of internet, there has always been a tug of war between Classroom Education vs Distance Education. Distance education programs includes learning from home that is  e-learning, correspondence courses etc. It is a form of education system where the teacher and students are separated by a considerable space. Whereas, classroom education is the traditional form of education system in which student and the teacher are under the same roof.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Here comes the choice between Classroom Education vs Distance Education. Also the choice of education system highly depends on the needs and requirements of an individual.

CLASSROOM EDUCATION SYSTEM

Classroom education provides wide exposure in terms of overall growth of a student by providing facilities such as play ground, variety of subjects, interaction with new people, etc. Classroom provides an atmosphere wherein one gets to be a team player as well as team leader during different group activities such as group study, presentations and brain storming sessions. This helps in building confidence and making oneself more able when one steps onto the professional world. Class room education also has its drawbacks such as restricted syllabus that limits the scope of learning also the rigid structure of class education system which builds peer pressure and can add to the stress level. Also it is expensive in terms of time and money as compared to distance learning which becomes its limiting factor.

DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Distance Education

Distance education programs have a much greater scope in terms of the knowledge and information and which is not confined to the teacher. Along with saving time and money, a student gets the flexibility of studying in an environment that is most comfortable to him/her. A student gets to study and learn at his/her pace and can give more time to the subjects which are difficult. Also with the advancement in the mobile technology, students can access to the study materials such as online library, online tests, chat with professors, quizzes etc at anytime. Distance education has disadvantages such as absence of teacher which makes the learning process completely independent. Also the aspect of social interaction goes missing in it. Distance education fails to add all those facets to the personality of a student that a class room education can. Also there is lack of personal evaluation of a student in terms of behavior, language etc. which can happen only in classroom. Distance education programs are of much help when people undergoing program are directly or indirectly indulged in a job.

CONCLUSION

So, to conclude, a good education system would be a blended learning system of education which incorporates the aspects of both Distance education programs and classroom learning along with working on minimizing their drawbacks.Depending upon the situation, an individual can opt between the two.
