Student Centered

vs

Teacher Centered Learning

Pros of

Teacher-centered instruction

Pros of

Student-centered instruction

  • When education is teacher-centered, the classroom remains orderly.
  • Because students learn on their own, they learn to be independent and make their own decisions.

Cons of

Teacher-centered instruction

  • Because the teacher directs all classroom activities, they don’t have to worry that students will miss an important topic.
  • Students learn important communicative and collaborative skills through group work.

What is the difference?

  • When students work alone, they don’t learn to collaborate with other students, and communication skills may suffer.
  • Teacher-centered instruction can get boring for students. Their minds may wander, and they may miss important facts.
  • Students learn to direct their own learning, ask questions and complete tasks independently.
  • Teacher-centered instruction doesn’t allow students to express themselves, ask questions and direct their own learning.
  • Students are more interested in learning activities when they can interact with one another and participate actively.

Student centered: The teacher is more of a guide down the path of language discovery, rather than the all-knowing guru.

Isn't It Time to Change?

  • Knowledge

Teacher Centered: The Teacher is more of a performer, rather than a facilitator.

  • Structure

Cons of

Student-centered instruction
