classroom instruction

In-person school learning

Teaching that takes place in a physical classroom setting, with students and instructor present together.

The term often appears in contrast to other delivery methods: The course combines classroom instruction with online modules.

It emphasizes the traditional, face-to-face educational environment as distinct from distance learning, self-study, or field experience.
