Student- centered learning

The student centered learning technique 

   

          

Student centered learning is a educational process where the student is the center of the learning process . In these process allows the students using their own ideas,  learning methods and gives them more control over the subject matter. 

The student plays the role of the teacher, which makes the student in a position of authority for decision-making and resolve difficulties that may face, and this power does not deny the presence of the teacher as a guide and mentor.    

I want to talk a little about the traditional teacher. Teacher centered learning is the teacher plays a key role in the traditional classroom, is to be responsible for the students and the surrounding environment. The teacher is the main source of information and transfer of information to students. And limited the role of students in this process to obtain the information. This method creates a state of boredom among students and in addition to that, it not teaches students how to cooperate and take responsibility.

I applied this technique in teaching by dividing students into groups ,each groups have different level of education, and students play the role of teacher which leads to exchange of information and be able take responsibilities.

In my opinion the teacher role in the Student centered learning technique, is that guides the students ,  gives advices , try to help them if they need help. 

The Student centered learning technique advantages. Is allow students choice self learning techniques , for example they can learn by using online website , library or learning from each other . The student will be the focus center of the class , decision maker , leadership and problem solving.

Another advantage that is also allows students choice their own teaching techniques , such as using smart board , work as group or work in pairs .      

These techniques provides opportunity for the students to gain knowledge , learns to takes responsibilities and duties and discovers the learn helps them to build their futures. 

The Student centered learning technique disadvantages. Are the students willing to bear the full responsibility and duties and also take full advantage of the time they have given and do not waste time talking about things beyond the topic of education. Sometimes the class room be noisy environment leads to fragmentation of mind and lack of focus is this loss of time students?  

In my point view , to solve this problem, they need to teach them about class room management , teach how to take advantage of the time and split time properly and not waste time.

The teacher benefits from the student centered learning, reduce responsibilities for the teacher, easy way to evaluate student work, became more of coach.

Disadvantages is the teacher must make sure students are understanding the lessons and be aware of student behavior.

At the end , I think use both techniques are useful and effective because we have different topics calls to different techniques. Teacher centered learning provides to the students experiences and knowledgeable . And student centered learning is fun and interesting techniques to learn. My own view is that all students to utilize and benefit  from both techniques.

Computer as Tool , Tutor and Tutee

Role of the computer in our daily lives

In the following post I will discuss three main important points of computers usages in our life and how its impact in education.

Computer allows the teacher to develop his teaching style and the professional skills. As the students benefit from the information available on the Internet.

Does computer tools has a great role in education? Let me explain, the computer tools such as Microsoft power point presentation assist the teacher to present lessons in interesting way and colorful interface which grabs the students attention.

Through the use of Microsoft power point presentation helped me in presenting my lessons to the students and it's an easy way to explain the subject matter.
Another example is the use of excel sheet, the teachers can use this sheet to enter students grades , students data and do some useful calculation.

Computer tutor teaches the students how to better is the use of computer programs that provide students with the necessary assistance in education to develop their skills.

Computer tutor provides the opportunity to Individuals to benefit from the tips and advice available in the programs.

For example, Arabic and English typing program ,teach the students how to use keyboard then evaluate the students work. And some of these programs provide feedback.

In my opinion, computer tutor are easy to access, always available over the Internet and easy to use with the correct guidance.

I personally used tutor program that taught me how to speak English by listening to Virtual characters in the program , in addition to daily practice. 

  The concept of computer tutee are to teach a computer through writing programming language such as java , visual basic ,C++ and PHP.

I used SQL database program in college to save all my data and I can retrieve it anytime.

I believe that writing using programming language needs a special skills and code knowledge to create a program correct and useful.

The advantage of using tutee program to save money and the time it take to research for required program.

Finally , new technology provide easy way to teach and learn ,also provides communication between the teachers and students.

And my advice is that every teacher and student has to benefit from it.
