The document describes 10 classroom/school activities that adhere to learner-centered concepts. Each activity is explained in terms of how it targets the four domains of learner-centeredness: cognitive/metacognitive factors, motivational/affective factors, developmental/social factors, and individual differences factors. The activities include allowing student choice, using open-ended questioning, engaging in explicit instruction, encouraging collaboration and reflection, creating self-paced assignments, community involvement, developing trust, and integrating technology. The goal is to make learning resources accessible and actively engage students through problem-based and active learning strategies.

ACTIVITY 2: Learner – Centeredness at Its Finest!
Given the characteristics and principles of learner – centered teaching, cite 10 classroom/school activities and explain
how they adhere to learner – centered concepts by highlighting what they specifically target on four domains. Aside
from the explanation, also include the detailed procedures on how to conduct those classroom/school activities.
Classroom/School Activity #1: Allow for student choice and autonomy
Description and Procedures: This might mean providing project, classroom and homework assignment options, as
well as allowing students to design their own seating arrangements. Providing more types of question types in
assessments also gives students the chance to make their own choices. Finally, encourage teachers to give the students
a few minutes of downtime to use as they’d like.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Goals of the learning process, creation of meaningful and coherent knowledge
representation.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Effects of motivation on effort, it has instructional scaffolds or guided practice.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Individual differences in learning, Experiences and heredity come into play in the
development of strategic learning
Classroom/School Activity #2: Use open-ended questioning techniques
Description and Procedures: This practice encourages critical and creative thinking and enhances problem-solving
skills. Open-ended questioning encourages clear communication and provides students with reassurance that their
thoughts and ideas matter.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Strategic thinking, Development of strategies for thinking and reasoning.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Intrinsic motivation to learn, Intrinsic motivation is stimulated by tasks of
optimal novelty and difficulty an related to personal worth.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Social influences on learning, Social interactions, interpersonal relations, and
communication with others are important in learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Standards and assessment, Diagnostic, process, and outcomes assessment are
integral part of the learning process

Classroom/School Activity #3: Engage in explicit instruction
Description and Procedures: Explicit instruction moves away from the skill and drill attitude of teaching. It is a much
more direct and engaging method of instruction that pulls the students right into the heart of the lesson. Students are
active participants in what is going on, rather than bystanders and onlookers.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Thinking about thinking, Higher – order thinking strategies for selecting and
organizing information.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Motivational and emotional influences on learning, Motivation is of two types:
intrinsic and extrinsic.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Learning and diversity, Linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds form part of
learner differences.
Classroom/School Activity #4: Encourage student collaboration and group projects
Description and Procedures: When students work with each other they are learning a great deal more than just the
lesson content. They are gaining an appreciation for the diversity that exists in our schools and communities. They are
also learning to have respect for what may sometimes be very differing points of view. And finally, they are able to
bounce their ideas back and forth with each other, creating a much greater opportunity to grow these ideas into
something great.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Context of learning, The environmental influences (culture, technology, and/
or instructional practices) affect learning.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Intrinsic motivation to learn, Intrinsic motivation is stimulated by tasks of
optimal novelty and difficulty an related to personal worth.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Developmental influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual,
emotional, and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Individual differences in learning, Experiences and heredity come into play in the
development of strategic learning.
Classroom/School Activity #5: Encourage student reflection
Description and Procedures: Student reflection allows students to slow things down a bit and take a step back to
analyze things. It also allows time for their brains to process what they have been learning. Reflection creates space
and time for individual and group growth.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.

Classroom/School Activity #6: Create individual self-paced assignments
Description and Procedures: All students don’t work at the same speed and assignments should reflect this. Allowing
students to move through material at a rate that best fits their learning styles and needs makes it more likely that they
will gain deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Why is it Learner – centered?- Because it makes learning resources available to students and actively challenging
them through systematic problem-based learning and other active learning strategies.
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors: Goals of the learning process, Creation of meaningful and coherent
knowledge representation.
- Motivational and Affective Factors: Effects of motivation on effort, Instructional scaffolds or guided practice.
- Developmental and Social Factors: Social influences on learning, Developmental influences (intellectual, emotional,
and social factors) also affect learning.
- Individual Differences Factors: Standards and assessment, Diagnostic, process, and outcomes assessment are
integral part of the learning process.
Classroom/School Activity #7: Get the students involved in community-based activities and service-learning projects
Description and Procedures: This helps students to see their important role in the larger world. They are given the
chance to learn how valuable and fulfilling it can be to give back to others. Learning becomes more organic and less
rigid. Students have the opportunity to see firsthand that learning opportunities surround us everywhere where we go.
