Objectives
By the end of the lesson on learner-centered psychological principles, students should be able to:
• Define Learner-Centered Education. Clearly articulate the concept of learner-centered education, demonstrating
an understanding of its core principles and how it differs from traditional teacher-centered approaches.
• Reflect on Personal Teaching Practices: Engage in self-reflection to assess current teaching practices and consider
ways to incorporate learner-centered psychological principles to enhance the overall learning experience for
students.

Introduction
Learner-centered psychological principles revolve around educational practices
that prioritize the needs, abilities, and learning styles of the student. This
approach contrasts with traditional, teacher-centered methods, focusing more on
the transmission of information from teacher to student. This report explores the
core principles of this approach, its benefits, and its application in educational
settings.

Conclusion
Learner-centered psychological principles
represent a significant shift in educational philosophy,
emphasizing the importance of tailoring education to
the individual needs and contexts of learners. While
there are challenges in implementation, the potential
benefits for student engagement, motivation, and overall
learning outcomes are substantial. For these principles
to be effectively integrated, a concerted effort in teacher
training, curriculum development, and resource
allocation is essential.
