Human Growth and Development / Unit 7 HGD 0949 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Teacher-Centred and Student-Centred
Captions available
The idea
Teacher-centred classrooms rely on direct instruction and drills; student-centred classrooms, drawing on Piaget and Vygotsky, emphasize activity, collaboration and inquiry.
In practice
A lecture with worksheets in one room, and Montessori-style project tables in the next.
Where people slip
Teacher-centred teaching covers material fully but engages less; student-centred teaching deepens thinking but can leave gaps and management problems.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
