Nothing About Us Without Us

The Good for Students

Student-Centred Education

Develops learner autonomy and independence.

Carl Rogers

Assigns a central role to reflection and self-assessment.

Engages learners to share responsibility for the learning process.

Encourages learners to think critically when they plan.

Enables students to develop appropriate uses for their learning.

Has students monitor and evaluate their learning.

Student-Centred Education

The instructor should be open to learning from the students and also working to connect the students to the subject matter. Frequent interaction with the students will help achieve this goal. The instructor's acceptance of being a mentor who guides rather than the expert who tells is instrumental to student-centered, nonthreatening, and unforced learning.- Carl Rogers
