Teacher-Centred Learning

Teacher-centered learning is an approach where the teacher is the main focus of the classroom. In this style, the teacher does most of the talking, explaining, and directing, while students primarily listen, take notes, and follow instructions. Think of it like a one-way street: knowledge flows from the teacher to the students, with less emphasis on student interaction or participation. It’s a more traditional way of teaching, often structured and controlled by the teacher. In simple terms, it’s about the teacher leading the learning process, with students playing a more passive role.
