Which of the following statements regarding the learning-focused approach to learning is correct? I. It supports student-centred learning and learning environments. II. It facilitates exploration of meaning and content through personal and interpersonal inquiry. Correct Answer I and II

Learning-centred education focuses on the learning process. Although, its primary concern is on the learning of the students, all those involved in the education of students such as teachers are also co-learners with the students in the learning-centred education. It is basically learner-centred, but includes teachers in the process of learning in a classroom situation.

• Learning-centred education places the student at the centre of education.
• It begins with understanding the educational contexts from which a student comes.
• It continues with the teacher evaluating the student’s progress towards learning objectives.
• By helping the student to acquire the basic skills to learn, it ultimately provides a basis for learning throughout life.
• It therefore places the responsibility for learning on the student, while the teacher assumes the responsibility for facilitating the student’s education.
• This approach strives to be individualistic, flexible, competency-based, varied in methodology and not always constrained by time or place.
• In other words, learning-centred education advocates a student-focused teaching and learning environment facilitating the exploration of meaning and content knowledge through personal and interpersonal inquiry.
• The teachers attempt to maximize student productivity, knowledge acquisition and increasing skills and development of personal and professional abilities.
• The teachers may hence use a variety of instructional tools and methods, as well as flexible arrangements of time and place.
• Learners assume primary responsibility for their choices and have opportunities to exercise control over their learning.
• As a result, there are collaborative partnerships among all those who are the stakeholders of children’s learning.

Hence, we conclude that both points are correct.
