FACILITATING LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING
LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING
-Learner-centered teaching means inverting the traditional teacher- centered
understanding of the learning process and putting students at the center of the learning
process .
Note: In the teacher-centered classroom, teachers are the primary source for
knowledge.
Learner-centered teaching: Foundations and characteristics
LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING
•It is an approach to teach that focuses on student learning
• rather than on what the teacher is doing
•Learner-centered teaching is not one specific teaching method
•Many different instructional methods can use a learner-centered approach.
•The path to good teaching can be much easier to navigate when we view students as
our traveling companions.
•The more we know about them and how they learn, the more likely we are to
experience the joy of teaching.
Learner Centered Objectives:
•Learner-centered approach shifts the focus of activity from the teacher to the
learners.
•Emphasizes what the learners do as against what the teacher does.
•it focuses on skills and practices in a lifelong learning, creative thinking and
independent problem-solving.
•It insist the learners to actively construct their own knowledge.
5 CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING
1.Learner-centered teaching engages students in the hard, messy work of
learning. On traditional teaching in most classes teachers are working much harder
than students.
2.Learner-centered teaching includes explicit skill instruction. Students learn how
to think, solve problems, decision making, team work, evaluate evidence, analyze
arguments, generate hypotheses4all those learning skills essential to mastering
material in the discipline.
3.Learner-centered teaching encourages students to reflect on what they are
learning and how they are learning it. They challenge student assumptions about
learning and encourage them to accept responsibility for decisions they make about
learning;
4.Learner-centered teaching motivates students by giving them some control
over learning processes. Teachers make most of the decisions about learning for
students. Teachers decide what students should learn, how they learn it, the pace at
which they learn, the conditions under which they learn and then teachers determine
whether students have learned.
5.Learner-centered teaching encourages collaboration. Learner-centered teachers
work to develop structures that promote shared commitments to learning.
