Deconstruct the ways that teaching evolved since you were in elementary school?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answers to this question will vary but should include elements of the following: Aaronsohn (2003) suggested that in the past “traditional teaching” had a much stronger focus on passing on content knowledge. Many teachers saw their role as being subject matter experts while students were to watch and listen. Students spoke only when spoken to, and discussions about the subject with other students was generally limited. This bleak perspective historically has some validity, evident in well-known phrases such as “pouring from the big jug into the little mug,” “chalk-talk,” and the “sage on the stage.” Fortunately, the teaching profession has progressed greatly beyond this era.
