IDENTIFYING EFFECTIVE TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES

Abstract

This article investigates the effectiveness of traditional and 
innovative educational approaches in modern classrooms. Traditional teaching 
methods have historically served as the core of educational practice, ensuring 
foundational knowledge transmission and structured discipline. In contrast, innovative 
approaches — such as student-centered learning, blended learning, and 
technology-enhanced instruction — aim to increase learner engagement, foster critical 
thinking, and align with contemporary learning needs. By synthesizing research from 
multiple global studies, including student-perception research and pedagogical 
analyses, the article argues that the most effective educational environments combine 
elements of both approaches. The article proposes a hybrid model that maximizes 
learning outcomes, supports diverse learners, and enhances overall educational quality.
