When a student group operates with student-centered education, students and lecturer share the focus. Instead of listening to the lecturer exclusively, students and teachers interact equally.
This strategy can be effective but some students think that teacher-centered education is the more effective strategy.
In many cases, it is best for lecturers to use a combination of both approaches.
Of course, the structure of students, the nature of the topic being processed, and the other, influence the applied method.
There are many types of activities related to students centered learning that engage students in class work such as problem solving and task based activities.
you might use group work and give the students tasks to solve as groups so that they start learning from each other rather that just depending on you to explain, discuss and do all the work. also, project based learning is good to be used as students will be more motivated. I think you need to start gradually using more tasks that encourage students to be more independent.
Group and pair work activities, participation in workshop, problems solving tasks, open discussion activities, cooperative leaning ... and some other methods can be utilized for achieving students-centered education
Well there are a variety of things we could do to promote student-centeredness in college classrooms. For instance, task-based learning, cooperative learning (group or pair works), students’ reflections, specific self-paced assignments, and community-based activities could help promote student-centeredness in college classrooms.
Think-pair-share (TPS) is a collaborative learning strategy where students work together to solve a problem or answer a question about an assigned reading. This strategy requires students to think individually about a topic or answer to a question; and share ideas with classmates.
It may be possible in scientific disciplines such as engineering, agriculture and medicine through the presentation of a problem and ask the students to try to solve the problem through an integrated team each group specializes in the study of part of the problem and try to resolve the problem.
