A Guide to Student-centred LearningNelson Thornes, 1996 - 275 pages Offering the possibility of a new relationship between teachers and learners, this book describes an approach to teaching styles and student progress, whereby the emphasis is on activity-based learning, rather than on teaching, and on teacher-student collaboration, rather than instruction. The book aims to show how students of any age and ability can take responsibility for their own learning in an environment of positive regard, as teachers become facilitators rather than instructors. |
