Abstract
What does it really mean to educators in the classroom to place
the learner in the center? Creating learner-centered classrooms begin
with a teaching philosophy that is student centered. Attitude is more
critical than methodology. Learner-centered instruction follows from
fundamental beliefs in and desires to improve learning opportunities for
students. Instruction is developed with the learners' needs, questions,
experiences and reflections in mind. The instruction engages the
students in holistic, meaningful and relevant activities. Five
strategies to move closer to student centeredness are explained in this
paper
