Group Activity 2
Unit 1: Learner- Centered Teaching: Foundations and Characteristics
At the end of the lesson, Pre-service teacher (PST) can:
1. differentiate learner-centered teaching from other teaching approaches (e.g. teacher centered approach) as applied in various
teaching areas;
2. discuss the need to shift from teacher-centered teaching to learner-centered teaching based on philosophical foundations,
teaching principles and current research; and
3. discuss the varied roles of the teacher in learner-centered teaching and learning.
Research Activity (20pts):
Using google scholar, search the web for related articles that would help you answer the questions: 1.Differentiate teacher-centered
from a learner centered teaching 2.Why is there a need to shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered teaching? And 3. Discuss the
varied role of teachers in a learner-centered teaching. Make sure to include at least 1 research for each question from any reputable
research journals to support your claim. Be ready to present your work in class. Follow the Suggested format below:
