INTRODUCTION

 Learner-centered approach views learners as active

agents. They bring their own knowledge, past
experience, education, and ideas and this impacts how
they take on board new information and learn. It differs
significantly from a traditional instructor centered
approach.
Basics of learner centered approach

 In this approach students clearly, express learning

goals that are related to their real life roles. So students
help in the planning of curriculum.
 It builds on what learners already known. This
approach is relevant to the student’s real-life context.
 Leaner driven approaches draw upon
constructivism.Constructivism is a theory of learning
in which
People learn when they relate new information
and skills to what they already know, actively
practice new information and get feedback on their
performance.
 In this approach, learners construct their own
understanding from what they are exposed to in
the classroom and what they have experienced
in the rest of their lives.
 To develop learner centered curriculum the
teacher needs to view learners as active inquires
who use previous experiences(both mental and
social) to make meaning of the world.
 A learner-centered approach view learners as
active agents.
 They bring their own knowledge, past
experience, education, ideas and this impact
how they take on board new information and
learn.
 It differs significantly from a traditional instructor
centered approach.
Importance of learner-centered
evaluation and assessment

 Student-centered learning demands that students

set their own objectives for learning and
determine the resources and activities that will
help them meet those objectives.
 The focus in the classroom has steadily changed
from a teacher –centered approach to a learner-
centered approach.
LEARNER- CENTERED ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION.
 It assess the students understanding of area and volume and
evaluate their ability to make realworld connection to these
concepts.
 Four steps in learner centered assessment :
1. Determine level of learning objectives
2. List indicators of desired behaviour
3. Establish principle for objectives
4. Develop criterion referenced test items
 BENEFITS
• Learning goals are shared with students.
• Self and peer assessment skills are taught and nurtured.
• Teachers provided regular feedback to the students.
• Feedback empowers students to progress themselves.
• This help students to self check this learning.
 Student centered assessment has several features. They are :
1. Individualized
2. Focused on learning and growth
3. Motivating
4. Informative and useful
 In Student-centered assessment involves more formative
assessment and less summative assessment.
 Here students participated in their assessment of learning.
 Here students can divide how to demonstrate their learning.
Conclusion

 Learner-centered education uses interactive strategies

to engage the students and develop their abilities.
Learner-centered evaluation and assessment helps
teachers and learners to improve teaching and
learning.
