3. Discuss the significant dimensions of learner-centered teaching by citing the following a.) the function
of content; b.) the role of instructor; c.) the responsibility for learning; d.) the purposes and processes of
assessment; e.) the balance of power.
A. Function of the content. Building a knowledge foundation, as well as how the instructor and students
use the content, are examples of content. It is where the instructor levels the students where to engage.
The instructor encourages students to change and think about most of the content to derive their own
meaning from it.
B. The role of instructor. The instructor assists their students to learn. The instructor uses different
strategies and learning methods from which their students will learn.
C. The responsibility for learning. It is the responsibility of the students to maximize their learning
during their class while being guided by their instructor who provides increasing opportunities for
students to assume responsibility for their own learning, leading to achievement of stated learning
objectives.
D. The Purposes and Processes of Assessment. The instructor will be using formative assessment and
constructive feedback in facilitating the students’ activity.
E. The Balance of Power. The teacher, being the facilitator of the classroom, will construct an agreement
but will be flexible to have a better agreement with their students.
4. Discuss the significance of cognitive and metacognitive factors by citing the following: a.) Nature of
the learning process; b.) Goals of the learning process; c.) Constructing of knowledge; d.) Strategic
thinking; e.) Context of thinking.
There are different factors that can be considered to make the learning of the students be more
effective by using learner-centered teaching strategies in different subject areas. One of those factors is
Cognitive and Metacognitive factors that includes nature of the learning process which means that the
learning of a difficult or complex subject is most effective when learned through combination of
information and experience. Another factor is goals of learning process which states that with a proper
support and instructional guidance, a learner can create representation of different knowledge. In learner-
centered teaching, learners are actively learning through experiential learning. A learner can be a
successful learner if they can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways which is
under the construction of knowledge. In strategic thinking, the learner can create and use a collection
of thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals, which means that if learners are
learning complex subjects in a learner-centered classroom a learner can use their strategic thinking to
effectively understand and achieve learning goals. And lastly, learning can be influenced by many factors
that naturally occurs inside the classroom. The factor that should be considered to achieve learning goals
which are environmental factors that includes culture, technology, and instructional practices. These
factors is called context of learning.
