Learner-centric Teaching

S. Rajendran, Ph.D.

Abstract

This paper articulates and discusses the principles of Learner-centric Teaching and how it differs from Teacher-centric Learning. It suggests that the Learner-centric teaching is the most effective method as it engages students working in and solving real-world problems in a meaningful context with the guidance of the teacher. The learning activities are closely aligned with the learning outcomes. This method of teaching involves all students by creating interest and results in effective learning outcome.

Learner-Centric Teaching

Learner-centric teaching can be defined as learning and teaching that emphasizes student responsibilities for such activities as planning, learning, interacting with teachers and other students and assessing learning. It focuses attention on the learning process: what the student is learning, how the student is learning and the conditions under which the student is learning. Learner-centric teaching helps the students to develop:

i. oral communication skills
ii. positive attitude
iii. self-responsibility
iv. inter-personal relationships and
v. Self-esteem.
