The difference
between teacher and student centered strategies is that with teacher centered
activities teachers direct the learning while in with student centered
strategies the teachers serve as facilitators who offer guidance (Smaldino S., Lowther D., Russell J.).
Examples of teacher centered strategies are
(1) Students complete drills on previously reviewed topics. For example,
students complete Grammar101.com drills on parallelism identification after
review the same with the instructor. (2)
After teaching the use of MS Word Review Comment tool to for annotation purposes
and leading students through the annotation of an informational text. Students
are asked to read a short information text and annotate it using the SOAPSTone
method.
Examples of student centered strategies are: (1)
Teacher gives students separate research assignments to students which when
combined in a Wikispace will cover an entire topic. Students check in with instructor daily to
show their progress. Instructor monitors
student’s research website visits using Faronic’s Insight. Grading is based on
each individual’s contribution to the project.
(2) Students collect poll data on several question posed by instructor
on a current event. Student compile data using MS Exel and create charts from data.. Students write
reports using gathered data to come to conclusion regarding that data.
