INTRODUCTION:
The idea of student-centered learning is not a recent
idea. In fact, as a early 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.
III. LEARNING CONTENT:
Information Technology in Support
of Student-Centered Learning
A teacher can expand his options to make himself more
effective and relevant in the 21st millennium information of age.
The trends in education are massively changing through the technology and
discoveries. New theories are formed through what children needs. Perhaps, the
latest trends that the world is using now are the technologies available in the
market. These are the computers, LCD projectors, lasers, laptops, tablets and
even soft ware’s internet access.

In student-centered learning the main focus of teaching
is to let the student to experience the learning. All of the activities should
be in a reality scope for the students to visualize the learning content.
THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM
It may be observed that classrooms are usually arranged
with neat columns and rows of student chairs, while the teacher in front of the
classroom or sits behind his desk.

Maintain Classroom
Discipline
·
Controls classroom activities
Noticeably, however, after spending
so many minutes in lesson presentation and class management, students can get
restless and fidgety. To prevent this situation, make student’s worksheets
individually to work on.
THE SCL CLASSROOM
John Dewy has described traditional language as a process
in which the teacher pours information to student learner, much like pouring
water from a jug into cups. This is based on the long accepted belief that the
teacher must perform his role of teaching so that learning can occur.
Desiring to gain effectiveness, efficiency and economy in administration and instruction schools in these developed economies have also adopted the support of ICT’s. Their students have now become active not passive learners, who can interact with other learners, demonstrating independence and self-awareness in the learning process.
Generally the new school classroom environment is characterized by student individually or in groups:
·
Performing computer word processing for text
or graph presentations.
·
Preparing power-point presentation.
·
Searching for information on the internet.
·
Brainstorming on ideas, problems and project
plans.
·
As needed, the teacher facilitating instruction,
also giving individualized instruction to serve individual needs.

SUMMARY:
Given this new trend in teaching and learning, the
comparison between the traditional and student-centered learning are still on
the run. Results of learning in both approaches depend on the type of the
situation surrounding the student’s environment. Moreover, the student-centered
learning approach gives a good feedback nowadays due to its good results. The
technology affects us in different aspects whether it is education or in life.
Technologies give us more learning and knowledge to see the truth that the
traditional never exposed.
VI.
CONCLUSION AND RECCOMENDATION:
Students can learn on their own, can observe with their
eyes and can react with their feelings. The discoveries and inventions help us
or break us if we are not witty on using them. Right usage of technology in our
learning and teaching will make a great work. As a future teacher, the
creativity and silly imagination must be set in for our students learning; it
is crucial to use but it will become more crucial if we will let it slip in our
teaching approach.
