The fundamental difference between modern education and traditional education lies in attaching importance to the cultivation of innovative ability.

Modern education attaches importance to the cultivation of innovative ability, which is mainly reflected in:

1, learning style

Modern education pays attention to students' active learning and participation, and emphasizes students' ability of exploration, practice and cooperation. Traditional education pays more attention to imparting and inculcating knowledge. The curriculum design of modern education is more open and diversified, focusing on cultivating students' comprehensive literacy and interdisciplinary ability, such as critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. Traditional education pays more attention to the teaching of basic subject knowledge.

2. The role of teachers

In modern education, teachers play the role of guides and promoters, and stimulate students' innovative consciousness and ability through heuristic and inquiry teaching methods. In traditional education, teachers usually play the role of authority and knowledge transmission. Modern education pays more attention to the evaluation of students' comprehensive ability, such as project-based evaluation, emphasizing students' innovative thinking and problem-solving ability.

3. Educational objectives

In traditional education, students' academic performance is more measured by exams and performance evaluation. The fundamental goal of modern education is to cultivate all-round individuals and pay attention to cultivating students' innovative ability, creativity and ability to adapt to the future society. Traditional education pays more attention to imparting knowledge and obtaining academic achievements.

Characteristics of traditional education:

1, knowledge transfer

Traditional education pays attention to imparting knowledge and skills to students and emphasizes the authority and professionalism of teachers. Teachers are usually the main source of knowledge, while students are passive recipients. Traditional education tends to master knowledge by memorizing and reciting, including learning and reciting the contents and knowledge points in textbooks.

2. Teacher Center

In traditional education, teachers usually play a leading role. They are responsible for making teaching plans, teaching methods and evaluation methods. In traditional education, test scores are often used as the main criterion to evaluate students' academic performance, and students show their academic performance and academic ability by getting high scores.

3. Classroom repetition and mechanical

In traditional education, schools usually adopt a set of similar teaching materials and syllabus, and classroom teaching often presents the characteristics of mechanical repetition. Traditional education often regards students as groups rather than individuals, and the teaching content and methods are relatively fixed, and students' interests, specialties and individual needs are rarely considered.
