With the introduction of free education in Zambia, there is an interest by learners to return/continue with education thereby increasing the numbers in classes. Using learner centered approaches are proving problematic as curriculum is not fully completed in readiness for national assessments as compared to teaching where teacher centered methodologies are employed.
learner centered lesson is more interactive, learners are more involved, media for effective teaching is encouraged and teacher remind a facilitator to the learning process of learners, thus; It has multi cognitive effect to learners, motivate and encourage learners in learning the concept, it enhance understanding than cramming, simplify teaching process as the work shift to the learners. But teacher-centered have no these contribution, impacts.
Learner centredness places the learner, who in this case is a student, at the centre of all pedagogigal considerations, thereby ensuring that the student learns well and harbours the right attitude towards learning. It is not the abdication or dereliction of duty by the teacher who shifts all the responsibility for learning to the student and becomes a mere facilitator. Learner centredness is focused particularly on facilitating student learning, ensuring teaching effectiveness and providing both learning resources and enabling environment for student learning and growth.
