Hello,

The changing winds in the philosophy of education have increased the importance of humanism in teaching. Learners should be helped to reach self actualization and this is only possible if teachers are accountable and are ready to act as facilitators in class practices. In point of fact, learner centeredness, cooperative leaning, and paying attention to learners' critical needs are the most important key issues in post-modern education.

Combination of both. It is also evident that sometimes we have to spoon-feed the student and sometimes we can just show where the food is. The student can go there by himself/herself and have it. It depends on the situation.

Thank you so much dear colleagues for your cooperation.

Both are necessary. For teacher-centered-education, students put all of their focus on the teacher. The teacher talks, while the students exclusively listen. This way can be useful in case of theoretical lecture. While in student-centered-education, both students and teacher share the focus and interact equally which is more suitable for practical lecture.

Absolutely right dear Hadeel Saleh Haj Aliwi. Thank you so much.

More learner-centred approach with less teacher-centred approach. The connectivism era of teaching and learning requires more explorative and discovery strategies.

Thank you so much dear colleagues

Dear Dr. Liqaa Habeb,

The integration of both can maximize pedagogical efficiency and provide the best services to the institutional stakeholders. As an illustration, a process syllabus provides an alternate to the classical role of teacher as an authoritarian one who is the source of knowledge in classroom and makes a determination interrelated to classroom setting. In a process syllabus, teachers in preliminary programs can specify their classroom plan such as the time of activity, the sort of exercises, and assessment components with their own learners. Subsequently, these instructors may have a further guiding and supporting role which is the optimal role of teacher in the conventional pedagogy. The negotiation syllabus can aid the instructor in becoming an expert at recognizing the students who they have just met and so they become more alert about the needs, wants and lacks of their learners. In endorsing these demands, teachers organize the tasks, activities, supplementary materials that will indubitably fascinate the learners.

Dear Ali Bahadoran Baghbaderani

Thank you so much for providing such deep coverage to the subject under discussion. I highly appreciate your effort.

I prefer the use of leaner centered learning in which all students skills activated.

Dear Dr. Liqaa Habeb

Thank you. It is so kind of you.

Thanks a lot dear Dr Khansaa Hassan Al-Bahadli.

Liqaa

A mixture of both modalities is the best because it improves the students ability in learning.

Thank you so much dear DrRaid M. Al-Ani for your cooperation.

My view point in this issue is both centers has its importance in educational operation .We live in a period offered numerous teaching aids,so that It is time to re-assert the role of teacher as a multifaceted individual who contributes to learning inside and outside the classroom. Teachers positively impact students on many levels, including curriculum design, intellectual challenge, personal growth, career guidance and other less tangible ways. Our students not only know us as teachers who design their course, they also know us as people who listen to their aspirations and struggles. Indeed, students’ memories and experiences with teachers are often just as important to their success as the skills they develop and knowledge they acquire.

It is time for us to start addressing the more complex and interesting task of joining together teacher-centered and learner-centered instruction. The question for those who aspire to be learner-centered is not how to abandon lectures, but to understand when “teaching by telling” effectively advances the learning agenda. Learner-centered teachers should not leave students to muddle through on their own, but must know when to intervene and what kind of interventions enable students to discover their own way to understanding. Teacher-centered instruction does not get bogged down in a morass of policies and prohibitions that establish the teacher’s authority, but explores how to set boundaries within which students can make choices and move toward autonomy in learning .

Mix of them both.

Dear

Both if they provide flexibility and variety.

Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Liqaa

I strongly support the use of students centered method. it gives the students a good opportunity to be independent and enhances their academic and social skills.

I agree with you dear Hameda Suwaed. Thank you so much.

Liqaa

Sometimes I need to make mix.

Thank you so much dear Dr Khansaa Hassan Al-Bahadli for your cooperation.

All answers have a point. Research tends to be in favor of student-centered teaching. However, the teacher or lecturer needs to be familiar with more that one teaching models. Each class, group or context is different. Therefore some students may learn better with one model, while others with another one.

After all when it comes to implementation, the borderline between teaching models is not always clear.

In any case, planning is the key, I think.

Each one has its own pros and cons. That is why each method has been preferred by certain teaching curricula.

Thanks a lot dear colleagues.

Liqaa

Usually a mix of them.

Thank you so much dear colleague.

Very interesting question and very good answers.

Best wishes,

Thanks a lot dear Dr Litart Litarature.

In the following link there is an objective comparison between the two systems

Thank you so much.

Thanks for you Srdjan Atanasijevic.

Liqaa

From my point of view I think the teacher and student cooperate with each other to facilitate the procedures of memorizing and understanding the content

I am totally agree with you my dear Dr.Liqa about the importance of this kind of discussion

Thank you so much dear respected Prof Bushra Saadoon M. Al-Noori for your cooperation.

Liqaa

agree with@ Hadeel Saleh Haj Aliwi

Well, good point there. I think that most modern teaching approaches are student centered ones and the role of the teacher is monitoring the teaching processes only. Autonomous learning is an aspect of an effective learning process

Thanks a lot dear colleagues.

I think that the appropriate teaching method should be student-centered and project-based

Right Mohamed Hossni. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

I agree doctor Liqaa

students center-education is the best

Thank you so much dear colleagues for your participation.
