Teacher-oriented classes where students receive
lectures from teachers will be out and student-centered learning will be in.
Students will read, scrutinize text, work on applications and problems till
they find the solution and come up with solutions and even definitions based on
their activities. As they will have been actively involved in arriving at the solution,
students will retain the lessons learned more effectively. Student-centered learning means inverting
the traditional teacher-centered understanding
of the learning process and putting students at the centre of the learning process. In the
teacher-centered classroom,
teachers are the primary source for knowledge.
A teaching Strategies to
Create a Student-Centered Classroom. Today's
teachers are moving more toward a student-centered classroom. They are
learning to give up some of the control and allow students to be motivated by their interests, be part of the
decision-making process, as well as all other aspects of their learning.
Pros. Students learn important communicative and
collaborative skills through group work. Students learn to direct their own learning, ask questions, and complete
tasks independently.
Students are
more interested in learning activities
when they can interact with one another and participate actively.Student centered learning only works for well-behaved children.
Well-trained and reflective teachers can use student
centered learning to create a classroom environment that engages active children and captures
their interest. Once the engagement occurs, even the most boisterous
child can focus and
learn.
