What does "Student-Centered" mean?
"Student-centered," or "learner-centered," instruction refers to methods of teaching in which students do most of the talking and thinking in the classroom. Unlike traditional "teacher-centered" instruction, where the teacher spends most of the class talking (in lecture and possibly whole class discussion), student-centered instruction requires students to spend most of the class period actively engaged in classwork and problem-solving.
This means that the biggest responsibilities of teachers in student-centered classrooms are to prepare quality instructional resources and activities and work as facilitators of student learning.
