Student-centered learning is an approach to teaching that shifts the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student. In this approach, students are given more control over their learning experience, including what they learn, how they learn, and how they assess their own learning. The teachers role is to facilitate the learning process, rather than to be the sole authority figure in the classroom.

Some key features of student-centered learning include:

• Students choose what they will learn, how they will pace their learning, and how they will assess their own learning.
• Students are active participants in their own learning, making decisions about what and how they will learn.
• Students work collaboratively with other learners.
• Students produce work that demonstrates authentic learning.
• Teachers recognize and accommodate different learning modalities.

Student-centered learning has been shown to be effective in higher education. However, it may not work for every learning scenario, and some teachers and students may find it too chaotic. A healthy mix of teacher-centered and student-centered methods may be the key to success.
