• The effect of learner-centered teaching on the students’ learning
outcomes was highly significant
• The more learner-centered the teacher is in the delivery of curriculum and
instruction the more learning skills and strategies will be developed on the
students
• The learner-centered learning environment is that teachers serve as the
facilitators of learning (Weinberger & McCombs, 2003)
• The use of a variety of instructional materials, strategies and technology
helps in making the teaching-learning more effective
Discussion Points

• The way teachers teach creates impact on the development of child’s
learning; in one way or another, the teaching approaches and
strategies of the teachers influence the students’ learning skills and
strategies
• Making the students master their learning skills and strategies can be
taught to learn on their own; when teachers use more of learner-
centered teaching in class, the learning skills and strategies of students
develop or increase significantly because teachers can provide more
opportunities for the enhancement of the learning skills and strategies
of the students
Conclusion

• It is very important that students are engaged and involved in
their learning process so that they can adapt the skills and
strategies for them to become responsible learners
Conclusion

Thank you very much.
