A Reflection/Journal Entry that Highlights the Application of a Learner-Centered

Teaching Philosophy in the Lesson Plan

Fostering Inquiry and Curiosity in a Learner-Centered Environment

This educational experience underscored the significance of cultivating inquiry and inquisitiveness
within a learner-centered setting. I structured the lesson with the intention of inspiring learners to
inquire, explore fresh ideas, and take charge of their own learning.
To commence the class, I introduced an open-ended question that pertained to the subject we were
studying, encouraging the learners to express their initial thoughts. Subsequently, we engaged in a
group discussion where students posed follow-up questions, challenged each other's assumptions,
and shared personal experiences. This collaborative and inquisitive environment fueled their
eagerness to delve deeper into the subject matter.
In order to nurture their curiosity, I incorporated various hands-on activities and real-life illustrations
into the lesson. This approach allowed learners to establish connections between theoretical concepts
and practical applications, making the topic more relevant and captivating to them.
