Discussion

The idea of student-centered learning is not a recent idea. In fact, as early as the 20th century,
educational
educators such as John Dewey argued for highly active and individualized pedagogical
methods which placed the student at the center of the teaching-learning process.
In this Lesson, we shall see how the teacher can expand his options to make himself more
effective and relevant in the 21st millennium information age. In particular, the lesson shall
respond to questions on student-centered learning approaches in the classroom. From the
traditional teacher-centered learning approach, practical helps on designing and adapting
student-learning activities shall be examined.
In addition, suggestions shall be made on how a student-centered classroom (SCL) can be
supported by information (IT).

The Traditional Classroom

It may be observed that classrooms are usually arranged with neat columns and rows of student
chairs, while the teacher stands in front of the classroom or sits behind his desk. However, after
spending so many minutes in lesson presentation and class management, students can get restless and
fidgety. Often enough, the teacher has to also manage misbehavior in class as students start to talk
among themselves or simply stare away in lack of attention. To prevent this situation, teachers often
make students take time to work individually on worksheets can help the situation.

The SCL Classroom

John Dewey has described traditional learning as a process in which the teacher pours information to
students learners, much like pouring water from a jug into cups. This is based on the long accepted
belief that the teacher must perform his role of teaching so that learning can occur. This learning
approach is generally known as direct instruction, and it has worked well for obtaining many kinds of
learning outcomes. The problem with the direct instruction approach to learning, however, is the fact that
the worlds societies have began to change. Of course, this change may not be strongly felt in many
countries in which the economy longer depends primarily on factory workers who do repetitive work

without thinking on the job. The traditional classroom and direct instruction approach to learning conform
to this kind of economies.
In contrast, in industrialized societies we find knowledge-based economies in which workers
depend on information that can be accessed through information and communication technologies
(ICTs). Desiring to gain effectiveness, efficiency and economy in administration and instruction,
schools in these developed economies have also adopted the support of ICTs. Their students
have now become active not passive learners, who can interact with other learners,
demonstrating independence and self-awareness in the learning process.
Generally the new school classroom environment is characterized by student individually or in
groups:
1. Performing computer word processing for text or graph presentations
2. Preparing power-point presentation
3. Searching for information on the internet
4. Brainstorming on ideas, problems and project plans
5. As needed, the teacher facilitating instruction, also giving individualized instruction to serve
individual needs
Observably, there is a departure from traditional worksheet, read-and-answer, and drill-and-practice
activities. Students also no longer need to mark the tests of peers since the computer has programs for
test evaluation and computerized scoring of results.
Given this new trends in teaching-and-learning, it must be pointed out, however, the traditional
classroom activities especially in less developed countries-will continue to have a strong place in the
classroom. In spite of this setback experienced in some countries, the option has now been opened for
the modern teacher to shift gears to student-centered learning.
