A learner-centered approach engages students in actively learning through practice and reflection on their learning process, while giving students some control over their learning and encouraging collaboration between teachers and students. It motivates students and makes them aware of themselves as learners by examining what they know and still need to learn through stating and defending their positions. A problem-based approach involves multi-disciplinary teams working on multi-departmental tasks or projects.
