Which of the following is/are the limitations of using learner-centered approach in classroom? I. Difficult to increase the achievement level of all the students on an average within a limited period of time II. It requires teachers who are very sensitive to the needs of the students Correct Answer Both I and II

The learner-centred approach of teaching puts learners in the centre and gives primacy to children's experiences and needs. It strongly believes that when children are given the freedom to work at their own pace, they develop the ability to assimilate the concepts efficiently.

Instead of Being a successful approach to teaching, it too has some limitations which are as follows:

  • Makes learning a time taking process
  • Difficult to achieve curriculum targets within time
  • Requires special skilled teachers for effective learning
  • Difficult to achieve student's achievement level in a short period
  • Requires very sensible teachers for addressing the needs of students
  • Sometimes student's independency affects the classroom environment negatively

Hence, we conclude that both the points are limitations of teaching learner-centred education.
