Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the impact of innovative change on contemporary teaching and learning as an advancement from myth to reality, highlighting the importance of creativity, of change and innovation in education and viewing teachers as catalysts in improving critical thinking skills. Also from myth to reality in teaching and learning, the paper approaches the goal of conventional instructional design: types of learners and contemporary teaching and learning are analyzed. Since society is dynamic and needs to move from imagination to reality so as to stand the test of time, it is therefore suggested that modern approaches to teaching and learning be introduced, with an emphasis on a learner-centred teaching aimed to encourage life long learning, adapted to fit into the digital world by getting acquainted with information and communication technology (ICT), the use of computer and being abreast with electronic-learning and electronic-library for convenience and to reflect modernity.
