Module #: 1 Topic: FACILITATING LEARNER –
CENTERED TEACHING

ACTIVITY 2: Learner – Centeredness at Its Finest!

Given the characteristics and principles of learner – centered teaching, cite 10 classroom/school activities and explain
how they adhere to learner – centered concepts by highlighting what they specifically target on four domains. Aside
from the explanation, also include the detailed procedures on how to conduct those classroom/school activities.

Classroom/School Activity #1: Allow for student choice and autonomy

Description and Procedures: 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Goals of the learning process, creation of meaningful and coherent knowledge
representation.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Effects of motivation on effort, it has instructional scaffolds or guided practice.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Individual differences in learning, Experiences and heredity come into play in the
development of strategic learning

Classroom/School Activity #2: Use open-ended questioning techniques

Description and Procedures: 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Strategic thinking, Development of strategies for thinking and reasoning.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Intrinsic motivation to learn, Intrinsic motivation is stimulated by tasks of
optimal novelty and difficulty an related to personal worth.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Social influences on learning, Social interactions, interpersonal relations, and
communication with others are important in learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Standards and assessment, Diagnostic, process, and outcomes assessment are
integral part of the learning process

Classroom/School Activity #3: Engage in explicit instruction

Description and Procedures: 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Thinking about thinking, Higher – order thinking strategies for selecting and
organizing information.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Motivational and emotional influences on learning, Motivation is of two types:
intrinsic and extrinsic.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Learning and diversity, Linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds form part of
learner differences.

Classroom/School Activity #4: Encourage student collaboration and group projects

Description and Procedures: 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Context of learning, The environmental influences (culture, technology, and/
or instructional practices) affect learning.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Intrinsic motivation to learn, Intrinsic motivation is stimulated by tasks of
optimal novelty and difficulty an related to personal worth.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Individual differences in learning, Experiences and heredity come into play in the
development of strategic learning.

Classroom/School Activity #5: Encourage student reflection

Description and Procedures: Student reflection allows students to slow things down a bit and take a step back to
analyze 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors:
- Motivational and Affective Factors:
- Developmental and Social Factors:
- Individual Differences Factors:

Classroom/School Activity #6: Create individual self-paced assignments

Description and Procedures: 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.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Goals of the learning process, Creation of meaningful and coherent
knowledge representation.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Effects of motivation on effort, Instructional scaffolds or guided practice.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Social influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual, emotional,
and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Standards and assessment, Diagnostic, process, and outcomes assessment are
integral part of the learning process.

Classroom/School Activity #7: Get the students involved in community-based activities and service-learning projects
Description and Procedures: 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 firsthand that learning opportunities surround us everywhere where we go.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Strategic thinking, Development of strategies for thinking and reasoning.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Motivational and emotional influences on learning, - Motivation is of two types:
intrinsic and extrinsic.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Social influences on learning, Social interactions, interpersonal relations, and

with one another, students begin to feel a sense of community. More importantly they are shown that what they feel,
what they value, and what they think are what matter most.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Nature of the learning process, Connectedness to their experiences.

Description and Procedures: A student-centered classroom or learning environment can not exist without trust and
open communication. Trust and open communication are achieved by always being fair with students, listening to
them, and allowing them speak.
