The Teacher-Centered and the Student-Centered: A Comparison of Two Approaches

Abstract

There has been much discussion in the field of education concerning the differences between teaching based on the educator and teaching centered on the student. One of the main points of contention is that teaching should be student-centered. The claim that more student-centered instruction and less focus on the teacher is one of the most contentious aspects of the debate. Every tactic has unique advantages and disadvantages that cannot be had with any other approach. "Teacher-centered instruction" is a term that describes the educational approach that is sometimes referred to as "traditional education" by itself. The stage of learning in which the instructor acts as both the principal figure of authority and the primary source of information for the students enrolled in a particular class. On the other hand, learning focused on the student stimulates students to take an active part in the independent research that they perform by pushing them to concentrate on their requirements. This is because learning centered on the student encourages students to learn about themselves. In this investigation, comparison and contrast of these two approaches have been examined, and an attempt has been made to enumerate the advantages of each potential choice.
