Teacher Centered Pedagogy & Learner-
Centered Pedagogy
• Teacher centered pedagogy: positions the teacher at the center of the
learning process and typically relies on methods such as whole- class lecture, rote
memorization, and chorus answers (i.e., Call-and-response). This approach is often
criticized and students are afraid of the teacher.
• Learner centered Pedagogy: This pedagogical approach has many associated
terms ( e.g., Constructivist, student centered, participatory, active), but generally
draws on learning theories suggesting learners should play an active role in the
learning process. Students therefore use prior knowledge and new experiences to
create knowledge.
Constructivist Approach
• This is based on the central notion that learners construct their our own understanding
of the world around them based on experience as they live and grow. They select and
transform information from past and current knowledge and experience into new
personal knowledge and understanding
• • Constructivist Approach allows learners to be active in the process of constructing
meaning and knowledge rather than passively receiving information. It fosters critical
thinking and provides learners with a learning environment that helps them make
connections with their learnings.
• Since the construction is the process of learning, teachers have a big role like (a) to
influence, or create motivating conditions for students, (b) take responsibility for
creating problem situations, (c) foster acquisition and retrieval of prior knowledge, (d)
create the process of learning not the product of learning
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
• Collaborative learning (CL) is an educational approach to teaching and learning that
involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or
create a product.
• CL is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint
intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Activities vary, but
most center on student’s exploration or application of the course material, not simply
the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.
• In order to achieve a classroom where collaborative learning approach works, teachers
must fully understand learners preferred learning styles and view of learning Classroom
teachers shall use the following strategies properly 1. Online - Collaborative Learning 2.
Jigsaw Method 3. Think- Pair- Share 4. Integrated Process Approach 5. Peer Teaching
INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
• The goal of such pedagogy is to enable the learner to master
those situations he/she will have to deal with in his/her
professional and/or private life.
• • Integrative Approach provides learners with a learning
environment that helps them make connections of their
learning's across curricula. It focuses on connections rather
than teaching isolated facts.
• To this effect, pedagogy of integration has four objectives :
• 1. Making sense of the learning process 2. Differentiating
matters by relevance 3. Applying the learning to practical
situations 4. Associating the learned elements
Reflective Approach
• Reflective Teaching Learning Approach means looking at what
the teacher and learners do in classroom, thinking about why
they do it, and analyzing about it if it works.
• This is a process of self-evaluation cum self-observation.
• Suggested Strategies: Self Evaluation and Self Reflection
• Suggested Form of Assessment: Diary Presentation, Paper
writing Reports, or Journals
