2. The idea of student-centered learning is
not a recent idea. In fact, as early as the
20th century, educational educators
such as John Dewey argued for highly
active and individualized pedagogical
methods which place the student at the
center of the teaching-learning process.

3. Traditional Classroom
It may be observed that
classrooms are usually
arranged with neat columns
and rows of student chairs
or desks, while the teacher
stands in front of the
classroom or sits behind his
table.

4. This situation is
necessitated by the need
to maintain classroom
discipline, also allows
the teacher to control
classroom activities
through lecture
presentation and
teacher-led discussions.

5. “
The SCL Classroom
In industrialized societies
we find knowledge-based
economies in which
workers depend on
information that can be
accessed through
information and
communication
technologies (ICTs).

6. “
Desiring to gain
effectiveness, efficiency
and economy in
administration and
instruction, schools in
this developed
economies have also
adopted the support of
ICTs.

7. “
Their students have
now become active not
passive learners, who
can interact with other
learners, demonstrating
independence and self a
awareness in the
learning process.

8. Generally, the new classroom environment is
characterized by students individually or in
groups:
◇Performing
computer word
processing for text
or graph
presentations.

9. ◇ Preparing power point presentation.

10. ◇Searching information in the
internet.

11. ◇Brainstorming on ideas, problems and
projects plans as needed the teacher
facilitating instruction also gives
individualized instructional to serve
individual needs.

12. Observably, there is a
departure from traditional
worksheet, read-and-
answer, drill-and-practice
activities.

13. Students also no longer
need to mark the tests if
peers since the computer
has program for test
evaluation and
computerized scoring of
results.

14. Given this new trend in
teaching-and-learning , it must
be pointed out. However, that
traditional classroom activities–
especially in less developed
countries– will continue to have
a strong place in the classroom.

15. In spite of this setback
experienced in some
countries, the option has
now been opened for the
modern teacher to shift
gears to student-
centered learning.
