Student-centered learning is an educational approach that places the learner at the core of the teaching and learning process. In contrast to the traditional model—where the teacher is the primary source of knowledge—student-centered learning emphasizes active participation, autonomy, and responsibility in learners. It encourages students to construct their own understanding, engage in critical thinking, and collaborate with peers, with teachers acting as facilitators or guides.

By adopting student-centered strategies, educators can enhance learners’ motivation and self-efficacy, fostering learning experiences that are both relevant and personally meaningful.
