Option 2 : Child-centered

Pedagogy refers to the set of principles that influence the approaches to the teaching-learning process. It consists of a learning environment, teaching-learning arrangements, methods, general educational principles, etc.

 

  • The Child-centered pedagogy emphasizes child-centered education which puts learners in the center and gives primacy to children's experiences, their voices, and their active participation.
  • It requires teachers to plan learning in keeping with children's psychological development and interests. 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.
  • It takes into account students' capabilities, capacities, and learning styles. It emphasizes providing ample opportunities to the student to interact and foster their own strategy of learning to perform a task.
  • In this pedagogy, learning is co-constructed by the teacher and students, teachers facilitate students as a facilitator by providing them with the proper environment and materials to learn at their own pace.

Hence, it could be concluded that child-centered pedagogy recognizes the primacy to children's experiences, their voices and their active participation.

 

  • Teacher-centered pedagogy refers to the active involvement of the teacher while the learners passively listen to the teacher.
