In traditional teaching-learning process, the teacher organizes and presents information to students/learners. She may use a variety of teaching resources and strategy to support the lesson the most common strategy is lecture-discussion method with the aid of textbook, research work and other reference materials. Thus, this approach has been useful in achieving the learning outcomes of the Cognitive domain by Bloom’s Taxonomy: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation.
On the other hand, new challenges has risen for learners today and this is to encourage the students to develop their critical thinking skills and being creative in a sense that they are responsible to receive, recall, recite and apply the knowledge that they acquire. Today, learners were more flexible and creative which possess analytical thinking. In which it is useful in the modern education period were computer based strategy is in demand.
In some research, it has been discover that minimally supervised students hunched over laptops can outperform their lectured counterparts for a fraction of the cost. A broader review of research also discovered that "students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction.” As long as schools measure performance simply by rote memorization on multiple-choice tests, no teacher can compete with instant access to the world's information. Unless schools change, more and more teachers will find themselves replaced by computers. Fewer teachers are needed in case students will be more acquainted than their teacher. Therefore, the educator must also be aware and knowledgeable in all aspect so that students will not outsmart their educator. J
