Although many are adopting the virtual way of learning, most of us had no choice but to experience physical learning and while some didn't really enjoy it as much, many have succeeded and found their strength through physical learning. I am one of the many products.
I've always preferred physical education but that's mainly because it has been the one available for me or that I explored more than the virtual education. Even though that habit of wanting to choose physical over virtual education haven't changed, I'm adopting virtual education.
I honestly can't give a thorough comparison between the two forms of education as I have very little experience with online studying, but it is something I want to explore more going forward as I'm slowly enjoying the benefits that comes with it especially, the comfort and it's availability.
If I am to share my experience with physical education, it goes beyond just sitting in class to listen to a teacher or lecturer go back and forth about a particular topic or subject especially not minding if I understand or not, except I point out my lack of understanding inbetween lectures.
I'm the very quiet kind in class because I want to grab all I can and I get easily distracted when friends are around, it's one of the reasons I'm seeing virtual learning in a positive light. But I still enjoy the fact that I am with people who are trying to understand what we are being taught.
I like the companion, feeling of belonging and the simple act of leaving the house for lectures, it made more sense and study easy for me because I don't have to be distracted by work at home or some random activities. The few times I've studied online, the distraction were random.
I think what works best for me is a physical education but I do virtual ones for things I just want to add to my general knowledge like the last session I had on "Allison" about graphic designing, it was interesting to see how much I could learn but I'd have appreciated practicals.
In all, both forms serve their purposes and I'll say we don't compare both but instead utilize them to our own advantages. Physical education will help social growth more and virtual education will mental growth more, both are important for a person. While both are good in what they are invented for, the physical form works best for me.
