This slide presentation focus on the different learner centered teaching techniques and its advantages

2. ◦ Debate
◦ Creative writing
◦ Inquiry Training Model
◦ Project Based Learning
◦ Concept Attainment Model
◦ Heuristic Method or Discovery Learning
The following are some of the Learner - centered Techniques of Teaching
◦ Brain Storming
◦ Cooperative Learning
◦ Programmed Instruction
◦ Computer Assisted Instruction
◦ Self-Learning

3.  Developed by Richard Suchman.
 Helps students to establish facts,
build concepts and theories to
explain a phenomenon

4. Syntax:
i) Student’s confrontation with puzzling situation
ii) Data gathering for verification
iii) Data gathering for experimentation
iv) Formulating an explanation
v) Analysis of inquiry pattern
At every stage, the teacher is expected to respond in such a way as students may be
encouraged to initiate and assure the inquiry.

5. S: Was it a dream of princess? T: No
S: Did it happen due to gifts? T: Yes
S: Was that Fruits are magical one? T: No
S: Did it happen due to creams? T: No
S: Did the tonic is for reducing size? T: No
S: Was that make up set was given by enemy? T : No
S: Was that a magical mirror? T: No
S: It is not a plane mirror. Right? T: Yes you are right.

6. T: I have different types of mirrors in my hand and by observing the mirrors you have to find the
solution. And you may ask questions.
S: Can you allow doing our self? T: Yes.
S: The image of the objects is different in size. Is it? T: Yes.
S: The mirror which has budged surface will give the image of smaller size. Is it?
T: very correct.

7. T: Now can you say the reason for the first story?
S: The mirror has a budged surface. T: Yes.
S: The image formed is smaller that original size.
T: yes. You are correct. Now can you say the name of the mirror?
S: No
T: It is known as convex mirror. Can you suggest some incidents where convex mirror is used?
S: In vehicle’s rearview mirror.
T: very good.

8. Humans naturally tend to group together things of similar characteristics as a coping strategy to deal with
the diversity and complexity in our environments.

9. • The teacher will have a concept in her mind.
• She will provide students some positive exemplars (YES examples) for the concept and
some negative examples (NO example) which do not bear the characteristics of the
concept.
• All the YES examples have some attributes in common. By comparing the examples,
students have to identify the concept, its characteristics and suggest some more
examples.

11. step 1. Creating the situation
step 2. Proposing and choosing the project
step 3. Planning the project
step 4. Execution of the project
step 5. Evaluation of the project
step 6. Recording of the project
Example Concept:
• Types of leaves : Simple Leaf and
Compound Leaf
• Transport : Air, Water and Land
Transport

12. Planning
Execution
Conclusion

13. Cooperative Learning
small-group learning - small groups of students work together on a common task.
Jigsaw method of Teaching
Step 1: Divide students into 5- or 6-person jigsaw groups.
Step 2: Appoint one student from each group as the leader.
Step 3: Divide the day’s lesson into 5-6 segments.
Step 4: Assign each student to learn one segment.
Step 5: Give time to read over their segment
Step 6: Form “expert groups” - one student from each jigsaw. Give time to discuss the main points of their segment in
expert group.
Step 7: Bring the students back into their jigsaw groups.
Step 8: Ask each student to present her or his segment to the group.
Step 9: If any group is having trouble (e.g., a member is dominating or disruptive), make an appropriate intervention.
Step 10: At the end of the session, give a quiz on the material.

15. Brain Storming
Posing a problem or introducing a topic
Students expresses ideas and answers
Contributions accepted without criticism
Ideas examined through discussion

17.  Engages the students in learning
 Develops the learning skills of the
learners
 Improves participation
 Improves retention of knowledge
 Fosters collaborative learning
 Makes learning more fun
 Enhances Motivation and Achievement
 Learner-centered teaching encourages
students to reflect on what they are
learning and how they are learning it
