    Student centred teaching focuses on the learning process and shifts the focus from the teacher to the student. It encourages active participation from students and requires them to monitor and take responsibility for their own thinking. Student centred learning increases student motivation and achievement. There are many ways to incorporate student centred techniques, such as using open-ended questioning to encourage critical thinking, engaging students directly in lessons, encouraging collaboration on projects, allowing student reflection, creating self-paced assignments, involving students in community activities, and giving students choice and autonomy.

    Student Centred Classroom

    Dr Narayana Swamy R, Professor, Dept. of CSE, FET-JU

    In more traditional approaches, the teacher stands in the front of the room lecturing while the
    students sit passively watching and (hopefully) listening. Students work individually, while
    cooperative learning is often discouraged. Thankfully, student centred instruction breaks
    through many of these boundaries, as this method of instruction focuses on the process of
    learning.
    Student centred teaching shifts the focus from the teacher to the student. It encourages active
    participation on the part of the students and requires that they monitor their own thinking.
    Students are also expected to not only be conscious of their learning but to also assume
    responsibility. Student motivation generally increases with student centred learning, as does
    student achievement and overall satisfaction with the school experience.

    There are many ways to incorporate student centred techniques into classroom resources and
    lessons:

    1. Use open-ended questioning techniques. This practice encourages critical and


    creative thinking and enhances problem-solving skills. Open-ended questioning
    encourages clear communication and provides students with reassurance that their
    thoughts and ideas matter.
    2. Engage in explicit instruction. Explicit instruction moves away from the skill and drill
    attitude of teaching. It is a much more direct and engaging method of instruction that
    pulls the students right into the heart of the lesson. Students are active participants in
    what is going on, rather than bystanders and onlookers.

    3. Encourage student collaboration and group projects. When students work with each
    other they are learning a great deal more than just the lesson content. They are gaining
    an appreciation for the diversity that exists in our schools and communities. They are
    also learning to have respect for what may sometimes be very differing points of view.
    And finally, they are able to bounce their ideas back and forth with each other, creating
    a much greater opportunity to grow these ideas into something great.

    4. Encourage student reflection. Student reflection allows students to slow things down
    a bit and take a step back to analyse things. It also allows time for their brains to process
    what they have been learning. Reflection creates space and time for individual and
    group growth.

    5. Create individual self-paced assignments. All students don’t work at the same speed
    and assignments should reflect this. Allowing students to move through material at a
    rate that best fits their learning styles and needs makes it more likely that they will gain
    deeper understanding of the subject matter.
    6. Get the students involved in community-based activities and service-learning
    projects. This helps students to see their important role in the larger world. They are
    given the chance to learn how valuable and fulfilling it can be to give back to others.
    Learning becomes more organic and less rigid. Students have the opportunity to see
    first-hand that learning opportunities surround us everywhere where we go.

    7. Allow for student choice and autonomy. This might mean providing project,
    classroom and homework assignment options, as well as allowing students to design
    their own seating arrangements. Providing more types of question types in assessments
    also gives students the chance to make their own choices. Finally, encourage teachers
    to give the students a few minutes of downtime to use as they’d like (within reason of
    course).

    Creating a more student centred classroom does not have to be hard for teachers. Your role can
    be of great help, as you incorporate many of these techniques right into the resources you are
    creating. See the students as an integral part of the learning process, and you’re on your way!
