EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES AND MODELS CENTERED IN LEARNING.

Name: Alexandra Flores.

INTRODUCTION.

The process of learning more effectively and learning to learn, based on the
development of the student's potential, is one of the fundamental purposes of higher
education training systems in their quest for a higher educational quality.

 The acquisition and pertinent use of cognitive strategies.

 The learning and use of metacognitive strategies.
 The learning and use of study techniques.

Any educational proposal seeks to achieve that students, in addition to learning certain
curricular contents, develop skills and attitudes favorable to study and academic work,
which would become evident in the interest and ability to learn.

It is considered that the quality of learning does not depend so much on a certain
intellectual capacity nor on the mastery of a set of techniques and methods to study, but
on the possibility of grasping the demands of the tasks in a learning situation and
controlling it with the appropriate means.

The qualitative differences in the teacher's objectives and in the ways of carrying out the
activities he proposes express important differences in what students learn and how they
learn them, differences closely related to the use of learning strategies by the students.

Using strategies is more than knowledge and the mechanical application of techniques,
methods or procedures of study, a trend that is observed in a large number of
educational institutions.

DEFINITION

All teachers in one way or another have a focus on teaching or instruction. Depending
on the subject and depending on the type of students we have, we need to assume one of
the two main roles that the teacher can adopt in a classroom or course.

Something we can all agree on is that every teacher wants his students to enjoy the
teaching-learning process but at the same time we want our classroom course to be an
orderly, disciplined place where the students deliver the assignments on time and We do
not have to use any coercive method.

The result has been the definition of two forms of teaching whose ultimate
responsibility resides in the teacher. Not everyone will agree with the methods used by
other teachers, we can not deny that there will always be some advantages and
disadvantages between the things that we do and those that our partners do.
Write three reasons learner - centered instruction is important for the EFL
curriculum.

When our teaching style is centered on the teacher, the classroom is usually quiet and in
order. The teacher has complete control of the course, classroom and activities.

By using this style, students' individual learning is encouraged, therefore they tend to be
more independent and make their own decisions, even if this is paradoxical.

Since it is the teacher who directs all the activities in the classroom course, the students
do not have to worry about deciding and if they are missing or missing some subject can
go to the teacher, as long as there is chemistry between the student and the teacher .

Teacher-centered education.

When the teacher uses a teacher-centered system, all the focus of the course and the
students is on the teacher, the teacher speaks while the students listen, in most activities
the students work alone and the group discussions do not They are always welcome.

Instruction centered on the student.

A classroom course that operates under student-centered instruction is where teachers

and students plan and share the focus and objectives of the course. Instead of listening
exclusively to the teacher, students and teachers interact fairly. Group work is
encouraged and students learn to communicate effectively with others.

NAME THE 4 KEY PRINCIPLES OF LEARNER - CENTERED INSTRUCTION

Flexible environment: Educators create adaptive spaces where students choose when
and where they learn. In addition, educators who invest their classes, are flexible in their
expectations in the learning times and in the evaluation of the students.

Learning culture: The Flipped learning model deliberately changes instruction toward
a student-centered approach in which class time is spent exploring subjects in greater
depth and creating more learning opportunities. Students actively participate in the
construction of knowledge, as they participate and evaluate their learning in a way that
can be personally meaningful.

Intentional content: Educators continually think about how they can use the FL model
to help students develop conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Teachers use
intentional content to maximize class time in order to adopt student-centered, active
learning strategies and strategies.

Professional Educator: Professional educators continually observe their students,

providing relevant feedback at each moment as well as evaluation of their work.
Professional educators are reflective in their practice, interact with each other to
improve the quality of their teaching, accept constructive criticism and tolerate
"controlled chaos in their classrooms."
WRITE TWO WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN INVOLVE YOUR STUDENTS IN
THE LEARNING PROCESS.

The discovery of learning styles must be done by the teacher, but it is more important
than the learner (student) himself. This knowledge should not lead to a simplistic and
definitive classification, but should serve to recognize the possible ways in which the
student begins to recognize their potential in the perspective of metacognition.

Learning styles are often linked to study habits; But it is possible that the proposed
activities will cause students to adopt a different cognitive attitude than their style.
Consequently, it is important for the student to discover their own approaches to enrich
and diversify them. It is to support them in the development of relevant techniques and
activities to achieve the discovery of their own references and awareness of what is
demanded.

In order for the student to be able to discover his own style of learning, it is necessary to
activate all possible modalities of exposure to information, that is, that information must
be presented in various perceptive forms. Likewise, it is important to propose activities
that serve as a support for a self-observation of the student's learning style, which
should be selected according to the relevant classifications with respect to the objectives
to be achieved: visual / auditory; Reflective / impulsive; Oriented towards abstraction or
experimentation, etc.

NAME 2 ADVANTAGES OF LEARNER - CENTERED INSTRUCTION FOR

YOUR CLASSES.

 Students develop communication skills through teamwork.

 Students learn to direct their own learning, ask questions and complete tasks
independently.
 Students may be more interested in individual or group learning activities
because in spite of that they may interact with one another.
