What are the features of learner-centered teaching:
Learner-centered teaching:
- engages students in the hard messy work of learning;
- motivates and empowers students by giving them some control over the learning processes;
- encourages collaboration; the (virtual or real) classroom is a community where everyone shares in the learning agenda;
- promotes students’ reflection about what they are learning and how they are learning it;
- includes explicit learning skills instruction.
Each of these features is to be discussed in future blogs.
To the extent that a legal educational institution or lecturer implements these features, one can be assured of strong learning results.
