classroom teaching

In-person school instruction

Classroom teaching is instruction that takes place in a physical classroom setting, with students and teacher together in the same space.

The term often appears in contrast to online learning, distance education, or independent study: She preferred classroom teaching to virtual instruction.

It emphasizes the face-to-face, interactive nature of traditional education.
