Abstract

Teacher education plays a pivotal role in preparing educators capable of meeting the evolving needs of contemporary classrooms. As the field of education evolves, there is an increasing shift from traditional, teacher-centered pedagogies to modern, technology-enhanced teaching methods. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformation in teaching practices within Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) programs, comparing the conventional pedagogical strategies with the emerging digital, student-centered approaches. The research delves into the strengths and weaknesses of both educational paradigms and evaluates their effectiveness in preparing future teachers. Traditional pedagogical methods, with their focus on structured content delivery and theoretical knowledge, provide a solid foundation for teachers but often lack the flexibility and interactivity required for today’s diverse classrooms. In contrast, modern pedagogies integrate technological tools, collaborative learning, and interactive platforms that foster critical thinking, creativity, and engagement among students. However, challenges such as technological disparities, infrastructure limitations, and the need for professional development in digital literacy must be addressed to fully leverage these methods. This paper emphasizes the importance of blending traditional and modern pedagogies, suggesting that a hybrid approach can provide the best of both worlds—ensuring solid foundational knowledge alongside the adaptability and innovative skills necessary for contemporary teaching. The study also highlights the implications for teacher training, offering policy recommendations for an integrated, forward-looking teacher education framework.
