The document discusses the five characteristics of learner-centered teaching which are engaging students in learning, including explicit skill instruction, encouraging student reflection on learning, motivating students by giving them control over learning processes, and encouraging collaboration. It also defines student-centered teaching as focusing on student needs, abilities, interests and learning styles. Finally, it explains that student-centered teaching is important because students who understand and feel in control of their learning environment are more engaged and likely to perform better academically.

1. Discuss the five characteristics of Learner-Centered Teaching.
1. Learner-centered teaching engages students in the hard, messy work of learning. On any given day, in most classes teachers are working much harder than students. 2. Learner-centered teaching includes explicit skill instruction. Learner-centered teachers teach students how to think, solve problems, evaluate evidence, analyze arguments, generate hypotheses—all those learning skills essential to mastering material in the discipline. 3. Learner-centered teaching encourages students to reflect on what they are learning and how they are learning it. They challenge student assumptions about learning and encourage them to accept responsibility for decisions they make about learning; like how they study for exams, when they do assigned reading, whether they revise their writing or check their answers. 4. Learner-centered teaching motivates students by giving them some control over learning processes. Learner-centered teachers search out ethically responsible ways to share power with students. 5. Learner-centered teaching encourages collaboration. Learner-centered teachers work to develop structures that promote shared commitments to learning.
2. What is Student-Centered Teaching?
Student-centered learning, also known as learner-centered education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student. Student-Centered Teaching and Learning focuses on the needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles of the students and has many implications for the design of curriculum, course content, and interactivity of courses.
3. Why is it important? It is important because the students who understand their learning environment and feel in control of that environment are more likely to be engaged throughout their school day. These students see increases in their level of academic performance.
These are the importance of Student-Centered Teaching :
•Fitting education content to student interests
•Allowing students to gain competency and mastery at their own pace before moving on to other topics
•Teaching students how to devise their strategies for learning
•Teaching students how to monitor their progress as they learn new material
