20th Century Classroom 21st Century Classroom
Time-based Outcome-based
Focus: memorization of discrete facts Focus: what students Know, Can Do and Are Like after all the details are forgotten.
Lessons focus on the lower level of Bloom’s Taxonomy – knowledge, comprehension and application.
Learning is designed on upper levels of Blooms’ – synthesis, analysis and evaluation
Textbook-driven Research-driven
Learners work in isolation – classroom within 4 walls
Learners work collaboratively with classmates and others around the world
Teacher-centered: teacher is center of attention and provider of information
Student-centered: teacher is facilitator/coach
Little to no student freedom Great deal of student freedom
Fragmented curriculum Integrated and Interdisciplinary curriculum
