A. Introduction

Time has been change. Not just that anything in our live also moving forward. There was a lot of thing that change not only in technology but also in how people life and the paradigm including in education. Education was perform a dynamically changes. The change based on the experience from the educational expert. Not just that it’s also based on an analyzing the fact in the environment of education.

The education developed in many aspects. Including teaching learning process as the main activities in education. Teaching learning process also developed from the traditional one to the innovative one. Although there was moving forward many teacher still use the traditional method or paradigm in their teaching learning. The paradigm developed from the transfer of knowledge into the teacher as the facilitator. There were many differences between two paradigms. And to identify them, we can see from the characteristic.

B. Discussion

As what we discuss before there was two pole of teaching learning paradigm that appears now. They were the traditional one and also innovative one. Each other have a different characteristic. Its can be look from the example that perform in the teaching learning process, the activity, the programs, the models, the scheme, etc.

In the traditional teaching learning, education was an investment for the future. But in the innovative one, education was something that we needed. Based on that we can said that in the traditional one education was prepared we to survive in the future. We feel that learn was a demand that we should do. Its effect we didn’t enjoyed it. Different with that in the innovative one, education was a needed. So we have more motivation to learn it. We can more enjoy the process, and do as well as we can do because we need it. Not just for fulfill the duty but to fulfill our needed. Its will be sound more interesting than just as a duty.

Another that, in traditional it’s was a behaviorism paradigm and in the innovative one there was a constructivism. In the traditional one, the aim of teaching learning is to make or construct the behavior of students. And the learning was a behavior. Different with that in the constructivism the aim of teaching learning is to construct the student knowledge. So that, they can develop their own knowledge not just bounded with general knowledge. It’s more facilitated the diversity of student than in the traditional one.

The difference was not only two aspects before but also in the paradigm and theory. In the traditional one teaching learning was in order to transfer the knowledge and as we discuss before the innovative one wants to construct the student knowledge.

Another that in the traditional one the teacher was the supervisor but in the innovative one the teacher became a facilitator. So here we can say that the traditional the teacher become the center of learning and in the innovative method student was the center of learning. There was also the difference in the religion and philosophy aspect. In the design, scheme and models also different.

C. Conclusion

There was two pole of teaching learning process. They are traditional and innovative teaching learning. They have many differences from many character such as the paradigm, theories, design, scheme, models, programs, activities and example.
