Student-Centered Learning

Student-centered learning is a process that gives the learner some control over the learning process. Learning is somewhat personalized in a way that considers the personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and interests of the students. The teacher serves as a facilitator or guide who comes alongside students as they learn while building on their prior knowledge through scaffolding efforts. Student-centered learning can look different between classrooms, but the goal is the same, to engage students in learning through meaningful opportunities and experiences.

The student-centered approach to teaching and learning is very much in line with Jean Piaget's constructivist view that children are "little scientists." Student-centered learning environments allow student interests to influence what and how they learn. This is powerful for any learner. Similarly, there is more opportunity to draw on real-world experiences and relate them to what is being learned in the classroom. Student-centered learning is a valuable method for engaging the learner while providing opportunities to apply critical thinking skills and other skills that are desirable outside the classroom.
