ANNOTATION:

I strongly believe that teaching should always be student-

centered. We are in this vocation because of the learners, and
that we should give importance to them and we should bring
out the best in them. I adhere to the Humanism type of
Student-Centered Philosophy, this approach puts focus on
encouraging learners to develop an interest in educating
themselves. This theory was propounded by Abraham Maslow
and other proponents. The theory focuses on the learners and
their overall development as individual, this also promotes a
curriculum that takes the learners' knowledge and experience
into account, ensures that the knowledge acquired can o plied
in real life, most importantly, it ensures that the learner can
develop a self interest learning. Humanism seeks to engage the
learner as a whole, where their intellect, feelings, social
capacities, artistic and practical skills are given attention in the
learning process. In this theory, when the students are upset,
sad and lack interest, they are less likely to be able to
concentrate on learning. Thus, this challenges the teacher to
create a classroom environment that will motivate and
encourage the learners in the material they are studying. So, as
teachers we integrate strategies that will catch the interest of
our students in our daily lessons, like reading them a story,
make use of audio/visual presentations, fun activities, etc.
