This study examines how teachers function in both conventional and contemporary teaching methods, examining how they affect learning outcomes, information retention, and student involvement. Although they offer structured learning, traditional teaching approaches that emphasize lectures, memorization, and teacher-centered instruction frequently restrict student interaction and critical thinking. On the other hand, contemporary methods that encourage active engagement, creativity, and problem-solving abilities include project-based learning, student-centered learning, and technology integration. According to the research findings, while modern teaching methods increase engagement and deeper learning, limitations such as teacher training, resource availability, and institutional constraints prevent complete implementation. The study reveals that a balanced approach, combining classic techniques' organized discipline with the interactive and flexible nature of modern education, can improve learning experiences. Future study should concentrate on improving teacher training programs, boosting access to digital resources, and creating adaptive curricular models to meet the changing educational context.
