Learner-Centered Pedagogy

Learner-Centered pedagogy focuses on the learners during the learning-teaching

process. They are being the center of the this learning method where they are expected to be
more active and more participative during the class. The teacher are being the one who guides
and motivates them to learn by interacting to them. In this approach, students have to deal
with problems that are real life and use real materials to come with a solution. This is due to
prepare them in the real world. In a learner centered class the responsibility for learning is
placed on the student. It might be students working in pairs or in groups trying to complete an
exercise, or helping each others by asking each other questions. Students might evaluate their
own work/progress or the work of their classmates, rather than have teacher mark everything.
Learner centered classrooms are more co-operative and organic, rather than top-down
instruction from the teacher. Learner centered classes help students to become more
independent and more responsible for how they learn. More control is handed over to
students by the teacher.
