ReplyDeleteefinitely. Children should be made comfortable first
Deletelearner-centered approach of teaching is the best way to acquire the desired competency of students. As a pre-primary teacher, I feel children need to be ready for learning in senior classes, and for that to be acquired, each and every child should be taught accordingly. But if this has to be done, our education system needs to be changed not only on paper but in real sense too. For reference I would to like to mention that pupil-teacher ratio should be strictly followed pan India.
ReplyDeleteThe core of child-centred education is to help the child become independent, responsible, and confident. Teachers who use this approach want to cover all areas of growth including social, emotional, and physical. Child-centred teachers engage in an “active learning” process. They want to help the child develop the knowledge and skills needed in all content areas.

Yes, I have done that before as they are in the same group under single roof, and same set of instructions work better there. But teachers always pay individual care of the kids and teachers Keep checking whether she is working correctly or not. (I mean her strategies )
Teachers know that group projects don't work always.
Also, since our learners belong and come from different level of background it is very important to plan the activities accordingly too.
It's child-centred approach focuses on the learners which is more efficient and gives better result in teaching learning process. As learners come from different background, it is important to plan the activities accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to plan different activities for a particular set of students. Activities which are planned for a particular set would not work for students who are differently abled. So accordingly the teacher needs to plan out and also keep a track as to how the strategies used are working or no
ReplyDeleteA teacher will not be able to give the same set of instructions to all students, as they are all coming from different backgrounds. So she will put it forward in the way each child can understand or grasp

ReplyDeleteAs a Pre-primary teacher, I provide opportunities to children wherein they play and enjoy learning new things.
In the primary and secondary classes they have a common set of instructions and fixed testing schedules. This is cause of time-constrain and syllabus completion.
In learner-centered approach we as teachers tend to achieve all-round development. We provide opportunities wherein the child does the activities that he / she enjoys. The child is more involved with his peers and learns to solve problems.

ReplyDeleteThe pandemic days and online mode of education has particularly thrown light on the need for immediate shift to student centred approach in education. Children get actively involved and enthusiastic when they are presented with activities which challenge them. Interactive worksheets, quizzes, PowerPoint presentations by students, peer teaching, activities which allow kinaesthetic movements and artistic effort find eager response. So, these kinds of shifts are being practiced by myself and other teachers in our school. Evaluation parameters are also shifting to other modes but slowly. The limiting factor in individualised curriculum is time constraint. However, the interest shown by students motivate us to bring up new ways of teaching. No doubt learner centred approach benefits all ability groups more than traditional teacher centred approach.
ReplyDeleteI feel that if we follow a learner centered approach we will be in a better position to cater to the needs of different kind of learners as each child is unique. Common instructions will not give the desired results.
ReplyDeleteLearner-centred approach makes the role of teachers more important as we r not assessing the child on the basis of what he can not do or understand but on the basis of what he can do and understand .

ReplyDeleteYes, as a teacher I realised that each and every child has her/his own pace of learning and understanding. As a teacher one has to identify the needs and the learning styles of the students and simultaneously be work upon the needs and abilities of the students". Ealier we used to follow the "Teacher centered Approach" wherein every child had to learn and understand the concepts from the teacher's point of view. But, now in today's scenario it is not so.

ReplyDeleteWhen teaching becomes learner- centered, students start getting treated as individuals and not a mass. Sure, it becomes a task of tediousness for teachers but students and parents thin that their voice matters.
A learner-centred approach wil result in learning and understanding at the student's pace. It is the best way to acquire the desired competency in students. it has its negitive side too. It takes more time and energy on the part of the teacher.
