a. Student-Centered Learning activities are
personally, socially and domain relevant.
1. Get to know you. Bingo!

This game will assist your pupils in getting to know one another in an enjoyable way. The first step is
to give each students a blank bingo sheet and have them fill it out with basic information about themselves. It
might be their interests, their birth month, their favorite color, or anything else about them. They can then go
around the classroom looking for persons who have one or more of the same items on their bingo sheet. If they
come across someone who has the same fact, they will both sign it. The first person to finish the bingo sheet wins
and receives fantastic rewards.

2. Getting in the Mood

This activity can incorporate in the beginning of the lesson. Before the formal discussion, the teacher
can let the students watch a short video that is related to the topic of that day and after a while they will share
their thoughts about the video and let them guess what will be the topic for that day.
b. Student-Centered Learning activities are long-
term, non-routine and production oriented.
1. Role Playing

Role Playing is a great way on identifying if the students really understand the topic or
a certain lesson. For instance, when you are teaching a Literature class and your topic is William
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, you can incorporate role play at the end of the semester or a
grading period to test if they understand the novel; its characters, theme and message.

This pictures was taken in 2016 when I was in

Grade-9. Our teacher gave us a tasks which is to
play William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as a
final requirement in her subject. Based on my own
experienced, this activity really challenged us to
think creatively and critically, but then we came up
with a great presentation.

term, non-routine and production oriented.
2. Dramatizations

This activity is really evident in forming new product in classroom. It also help
students to collect the appropriate knowledge needed in a certain drama play. A great example
that I can give is “The Vagina Monologue” by English Majors of CNSC wherein they really need to
understand every piece in order to put the correct emotion.
c. Student- Centered Learning are collaborative
and interactional.
1. Let’s argue! (Debate)

Debates in the classroom allow students to work in a collaborative and cooperative

group setting. Students can find new information and put knowledge into action by discussing and
organizing their points of view on one side of an argument. It might be a group activity, an
individual activity, or a by-pair activity. A teacher can deliver a topic and divide the class into two
groups, one on the negative side and one on the positive side.

2. Group Discussion

In a learner-centered class, this behavior is highly visible. Every group will be assigned
a topic, as well as a leader, by the teacher. The Leader will allow his or her group members to
select a topic for discussion in class. This will improve the group's interaction and allow them to
work cooperatively by deciding what methods to utilize or how to interact with their listeners.

when I was Senior
High School. Our
teacher gave us a topic
and assigned me as a
leader to distribute the
remaining topics to my
groupmates.
d. Student- Centered Learning activities increase
students’ learning capacities.
1. Asking question
Letting your students discuss the topic will help them to think critically. Teacher as
facilitator can present aunthentic materials and ask question to students regarding the topic and let
them elaborate or relate it to their discussion.

This is me discussing in front. 

2. Brainstorming
Two heads are better to one. As a teaching facilitator, you can invite your students to form
groups for a group activity, which you can perform the day before an exam. Allow your students to
compose a question to ask in another group about all that was discussed during that period. They will be
able to develop and recall their information as well as participate in an interactive review as a result of
this.
e. Student-Centered Learning activities facilitates
students’ personal awareness, growth and
formation.
1. Write on me.
This activity is similar to keeping a journal and posting reflection notes on a
bulletin board. Following a discussion of a literary piece, short story, or poem, the teacher
will let pupils to write on a sheet of paper about their reflections, realizations, and ideas on
the subject being presented. The teacher will allow the pupils to place it on the "Write on
me" bulletin board. Students can also offer personal experiences related to the issue so
that they are aware of everyone's ideas and can help them grow in a positive way.

2. Designing Self-Collage
Let your pupils make a collage out of pictures, words, or symbols clipped from
magazines that symbolize things they like to do or own, places they've been, people they
respect, or occupations they want. They sign their names on the back, and teachers can
display the collages around the classroom. The teacher may ask the other students to guess
which collage belongs to whom and explain why.
