Abstract
The rapid advancement of technology, globalization, and changing educational demands have necessitated a transformation of traditional teaching methods. This article examines the reasons behind the shift from conventional pedagogical approaches to more modern, student-centered strategies. It explores the major challenges educators face during this transition, including resistance to change, lack of resources, and insufficient training. At the same time, it highlights the new opportunities for enhancing student engagement, fostering critical thinking, and promoting lifelong learning. By reviewing current literature and best practices, the paper emphasizes the importance of rethinking teaching methodologies to meet the evolving needs of 21st-century learners. The study advocates for an adaptive, flexible, and innovative educational environment that supports both teachers and students in achieving academic success.
