LEARNING
APPROACH
A GUIDE TO TEACHING METHOD THAT FOCUSES ON CREATING CONNECTIONS WITH STUDENTS’
INTERESTS AND THE THINGS THEY LEARN IN SCHOOL. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO MAKE THE
EDUCATIONAL PROCESS MORE MEANINGFUL TO STUDENTS.
WHAT IS A STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING
APPROACH?
• The educational industry is constantly discussing ways educators can teach their students
more effectively. While many go back and forth on the pros and cons of a traditional vs
non-traditional education, the truth is that some students require different teaching
methods. The student-centered approach to learning is one method that educators are
incorporating into their curriculum in some form or another.
A STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH IN THE
CLASSROOM
• A great example of a student-centered approach in the classroom is letting students
determine the final results of a project or assignment. Instead of dictating to the students
what the final project should be, the teacher provides parameters and allows the student to
base their final work around their topic interests.
BENEFITS OF SCL
• it presents more decision-making opportunities to students which would let them take a
more on-hand approach to their education. Students learn to set their own goals then
assess and determine how to achieve them. This allows students to acquire important and
useful skills like analytical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and leadership.
• students engage better and are more motivated in their learning in a
student-centered classroom environment. This not only helps them academically but also
improves relationships between students and educators.
BENEFITS OF SCL
• offers greater flexibility for small groups or virtual learning, which has become even
more important in the past few years. SCL techniques can always be incorporated
gradually, making it easier for both students and educators to have the time they need to
adapt.
