 B.Paradigm shift: First teacher -
centered to learner-centered
teaching
1.Philosophical Perspectives
Teacher - centered philosophies
• Essentialism is a Teacher-centered philosophy that emphasizes the
importance of teaching essential knowledge and skills. It focuses on
traditional subjects and aims to instill students with the core
knowledge necessary for functioning in society. Essentialism is often
associated with a structured and disciplined approach to education.
• Perennialism is a Teacher-centered philosophy that emphasizes the
enduring truths and universal principles found in classic works of
literature, art, and science. It focuses on the study of timeless ideas
and seeks to cultivate students' intellectual development through
exposure to these fundamental concepts.
Learner - centered philosophies
• Progressivism is a Learner-centered philosophy that
emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning. It encourages
students to be active participants in their education,
promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and
collaboration. Progressivism values the interests and
experiences of the learner, often incorporating real-world
issues into the curriculum.
• Humanism is a Learner-centered philosophy that
places a strong emphasis on the individual student. It
focuses on the holistic development of the learner,
including their emotional, social, and intellectual growth.
Humanism encourages personalized learning experiences
and values the unique qualities of each student.
Learner - centered philosophies
• Constructivism is a Learner-centered philosophy that
emphasizes the active role of the student in constructing their
own understanding and knowledge. It suggests that learning is
most effective when students are engaged in meaningful,
hands-on activities that allow them to build their own mental
models of the world.
• Existentialism is a Learner-centered philosophy that
focuses on the individual's freedom, choice, and responsibility.
It encourages students to explore their own existence and
values, promoting self-discovery and personal meaning-
making. Existentialism values authentic, self-directed learning
experiences.
2. Supporting Research
→ Theorist like John Dewey, Jean Piaget,Carl Roger whise
collective work
focused on how students learn is primarily responsible for the
more to
students centered learning.
→ Central to their ideas is that students actively construct their
own knowledge - known as Constructivism
→ what is student-centered/active learning?
Any well-structured, teacher-guided, student centered activity
that
“substantially involves students with the course content
through talking and listening, writing, reading and reflecting”.
→ Learning is most meaningful when topics sre relevant to the
students lives, needs, and interest.
→ The students has to be engaged in higher order thinking task
such as analysis, problem solving, synthesis, and evaluation.
→ These activities allow students to apply what they have learned
early on in the academic progcess and give them a
context/application for bew material.

Importance of Supporting Research

→ It drives innovation, advance knowledge and improve society.
→ Allows scientists and schoolars to explore new technologies
and find solutions to pressing problems.
→ Involves investigating and implementing instructional practices
that prioritize student agency, engagement and individual
differences.
→ positive effects on students motivation learning outcomes
and overall educational experiences.
→ Researchers found that with differentiated instructions,
students
learned moreand felt better about themselves and the
subject area
being studied.(Tomlinson,2001)
 3. Resistance to change : Managing
the shift
• Change is always beneficial and difficult to implement.
• It is important for Change to occur continually, For
adjusting dynamic forces.

Resistance to change will be on two main reasons:

• Social change
• Change in human relationship with technical change.
FACTORS OF RESISTENCE TO CHANGE
1. Insecurity
2. Lack of communication
3. Rapidity and extent of change
4. Group Resistance
5. Emotional Turmoil:
6. Loss of Power and Control

MANAGING RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

1. Participation and Involvement
2. Communication and Education
3. Leadership
4. Negotiation and Agreement
5. Willingness Of The Sake Of The Group
6. Timing Of Change
 1.The function of content
• Focus on higher-order thinking
rather than memorization,
allowing learners to actively
explore and reflect on their
learning
• Personalized learning involves
differentiating instruction so
that students can learn in
ways that suit their personal
needs.
Educators can adjust their teaching methods in several ways. They
could:

Differentiate Content Difficulty

• Letting each student choose their own person to study for
black history month.
Differentiate Learning Process
• Letting students learn according to their preferred learning
style, such as letting them choose between watching videos,
reading book, and being told a story.
Differentiate Assessments
• Letting students choose how to present their work, such as
through a video, performance, essay or poster.
Differentiate Learning Environment
• Letting students choose between studying online or in-person.
2. The role of the instructor
• serve as a facilitator that promotes learning rather
than a content expert or authoritarian classroom
manager.

Roles:
• learning designer
• encourager and motivator
• guide and mentor
• evaluator and feedback provider
 3. The responsibility for learning

Learning is not only about following rules or being told what to do. It's about
students understanding their role in learning.

Getting Students to Accept Responsibility

• Teacher should create a classroom environment that supports learning.
• Teachers should also allow students to learn without too many strict
rules, but with guidance.
Classroom Climate
A good classroom environment affects how students behave, their
motivation, and how willing they are to learn.
Fraser showed that a good climate includes:

1. Personalization

2. Involvement

3. Student teamwork

4 Satisfaction

5. Task Focus

6. Innovation

7. Individualization
Building Autonomy and Responsibility
Students should learn to find information on their own and master it.
Three Principles help:
1. Teachers guide students and give feedback.
2. Students should understand the results of their choices.
3. Teachers should be consistent - actions matter more than words.
Policies and Practices for Better Learning
• Teachers need policies that improve learning outcomes.
• Students should be encouraged to take action.
4. The purposes and processes of
assessment
The function of "content" is to serve as the vehicle for
information, ideas, and experiences.
The four main purpose of content:
• Entertain
• Inspire
• Educate
• Convince

Key functions of content:

• To provide a foundation of knowledge
• To develop higher-order thinking skills
• To organize and provide structure
• To be a source of valuable information
• To be engaging and relevant
• To facilitate learning and skill development
5. The balance of power
In learner-centered teaching, the "balance of power" refers
to a shift from a traditional, teacher-dominated classroom to
one where students share decision-making and
responsibility for their learning. This involves teachers and
students collaborating on aspects like course content,
learning activities, and assessment. The goal is to foster
greater student engagement, motivation, and ownership of
the learning process.

The terms under balance of power

•Traditional vs. Learner-Centered
•Shifting Responsibility
• Creating a Respectful Environment
