Student centred learning is an approach to education focusing on the need of students to discover their own learning styles and be self-directed in learning.

Importance of the SCL to the teacher:-

- enables the teacher to have enough time to do other assignments.
- the teacher will have less time of supervisions in the class.
importance of the SCL to the students:-
- the students will have full resposibilityf for their learning.
- the student will descover their own learning styles.

  1. Dear Joseph,

    This is good beginning point towards attaining your challenge you mentioned yesterday of "how to make a student learn on his own"

    Some of these questions can be benefitial to you:
    How have you been doing it?
    what are the indicators in what you were doing that students were not learning on their own?
    How will you want to systematically change from this towards attaining your goal? Be practical please.
