INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORTING STUDENT CENTERED LEARNING

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

Student-centered learning, that is, putting students first, is in contrast to teacher-centered learning. Student-centered learning is focused on the student's needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles with the teacher as a facilitator of learning. This classroom teaching method acknowledges for every learner. Teacher-centered learning has the teacher at its center in role and students in a passive, receptive role. Student-centered learning requires students to be active, responsible participants in their own learning.
