SUMMARY 4 - Pupils Find Internet ‘A Poor Learning Tool’

Studies have been conducted to know whether internet is an effective or a pool learning tool for students, and it showed that most students preferred an in-class tutor rather than e-learning.

The reason is that the students tend to learn better through direct contact with their teachers and classroom activities like taking notes, listening, answering questions, or clearing doubts regarding certain matters. Moreover, school textbooks are written in a way that match students’ age group and thinking level unlike what they get from the internet which is sometimes too complicated. Additionally, anyone can put anything on the internet so the information online can not always be reliable. Moreover, a student behind a monitor stops concentrating, distract others, or starts messing around.
