Student Centered Learning SCL

Student-centred learning is an approach to education focusing on the needs of the students, rather than those of others involved in the educational process, such as teachers and administrators.

In this approach students have many characteristics, most importance are :

• Students are active participants in their learning, and they will be involved in sharing decisions. 
• Students construct new knowledge and skills by building on their current knowledge and skills
• Students understand expectations and are encouraged to use self-assessment measures

This approach is being widely used in schools because its good effect on the learning process.

My self have tried to use this approach last year, it was hard and took time for students to get used to it. I taught primary students and they didn't accept it so i had to use direct instructions but still I tried to allocate a time to apply activities using student centered learning. I think this approach must be applied more in schools so students will accept it and then get the most benefit they can get.
