Student-Centeredness Defined

"...ways of thinking and learning that

emphasize student responsibility and

activity in learning rather than what the

teachers are doing. Essentially SCL has

student responsibility and activity at its

heart, in contrast to a strong emphasis on

teacher control and coverage of academic

content in much conventional, didactic

teaching" (Cannon & Newble, 2000, as

cited in Lea, Stephenson & Troy, 2003, p.

321).

"...shift in power from the expert teacher

to the student learner, driven by a need for

a change in the traditional environment

where in this ‘so-called educational

atmosphere, students become passive,

apathetic and bored’" (Rogers, 1983, as

cited in O'Neill & McMahon, 2005, p.

27).

Tenets of Student-Centeredness Student-Centeredness Defined cont...

."...the idea that the teacher should not

‘interfere with this process of maturation, but

act as a guide’ " (Simon, 1999, as cited in

O'Neill & McMahon, 2005, p. 27).

"...that knowledge is constructed by students

and that the lecturer is a facilitator of learning

rather than a presenter of

information" (Kember, 1997, as cited in O'Neill

& McMahon, 2005, p. 28)

"...‘students might not only choose what to

study, but how and why that topic might be an

interesting one to study’" (Burnard, 1999, as

cited in O'Neill & McMahon, 2005, p. 28)

"...focusing on the students’ learning and ‘what

students do to achieve this, rather than what the

teacher does’" (Harden & Crosby, 2000, as

cited in O'Neill & McMahon, 2005, p. 28)
