Lesson 12
Information Technology in Support of Student-Centered
Learning
In this lesson the ways of how the
teacher can expand his options to make himself more effective and relevant in
the 21st millennium age. Getting out from the traditional classroom
and its practices and into the student-centered classroom (SCL).
Desiring to gain effectiveness,
efficiency and economy in administration and instruction, schools in these
developed economies have also adapted the support of ICT’s. There students have
now become active not passive learners, 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 for texts 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 the
instruction, also gives individualized instruction to serve individual needs
I experienced a lot of things in
relation to this lesson-like most of the students do. It is because our batch
today belongs to a new curriculum in which the lessons that we learn were not
being spoon-fed to us. For us to acquire certain information we tend to do it
individually or by the help of the teacher indirectly through the help of IT.
Information Technology (IT) and
Student-Centered Learning (SCL) is indeed, a very good combination. If both of
these will be successfully used by teachers along with the other
teaching-learning strategies and approaches, the product of the instruction
will always be affirmative.
Someday, I will apply these techniques
to my future students for them to enrich the development of the skills of
learning by themselves and critical-thinking skills. It is because these were
already applied since elementary but not as thorough as in the high school and
college.
