Definition of Child Centered Approach Pdf Definition of child centered approach pdf Continue It is important that children and young people's care workers know their background in order to provide them appropriately. A child's background can include a unique blend of the child's experience, history, culture, beliefs, preferences, family/carer relationships, informal networking and community. Getting to know children and young people's backgrounds allows you to understand their circumstances and consider what is best for them. The most important person in a child's life is the parent/carer. Parents/carers' wishes, traditions, culture and beliefs must be respected, even if they differ from our beliefs. A child's background can include a unique blend of the child's experience, history, culture, beliefs, preferences, family/carer relationships, informal networking and community. Experiences: Not all children have had much of an opportunity to learn through their experiences and it is important that child minders give children and young people these opportunities. However, some children have extensive experiences that need to be recognised in order to expand their learning. Language: Children's languages will vary depending on their cultural background. Some children can communicate using more than one language, while others find it difficult to manage using a language with confidence. The aim is to ensure understanding in order to communicate effectively. Culture and beliefs: Children come from a number of different cultural backgrounds and the nanny has a role to play in ensuring that they meet everyone's needs. Getting to know their culture allows their traditions to be celebrated because these are meaningful to them. Family/carer structure: How families/carers live can vary and this can affect children's and adolescents' lives. Family/carer structure may include: Nuclear family/carer - a family/carer group where only parents live with the children. Extended family/carer - where parents and other family/carers live together. A parent family/carer – where a parent/carer takes care of the children. Same-sex family/carer - where a same-sex couple takes care of the children. Adoptive family/carer - where children have been adopted or raised. Reorganized family/carers - where children can live with a biological parent and a stepparent, half-brothers and sisters. Common family/carer - where children live in municipalities with their parents. Nomadic family/carer - families/carers travelling from one place to another with their children. Choice: Not all children and young people like to have choices. It is important that children have opportunities to adopt this skill because it will increase their self-confidence which in turn contributes to their self-esteem.

In original use, student-centered learning aims to develop the student's autonomy and autonomy [1] by placing responsibility for the learning path in the hands of students by passing on to them skills, and the basis for how to learn a particular subject and schematic is required to measure up to the specific performance requirement. [2] [3] [4] Student-centred teaching focuses on skills and practices that enable lifelong learning and independent problem solving. [5] Student-centered learning theory and practice is based on the constructivist learning theory that emphasizes the student's critical role in constructing meaning based on new information and previous experience. Student-centred learning puts students' interests first and recognises the students' voice as central to the learning experience. In a student-centred learning space, students choose what to learn, how to pace their learning[6], and how to assess their own learning. [4] This contrasts with traditional education, also known as teacher-centred learning, which finds the teacher as the primarily active role while students take a more passive, receptive role. In a teacher-centered classroom, teachers choose what students should learn, how students should learn, and how students should be judged on their learning. On the other hand, student-centred learning requires students to be active, responsible participants in their own learning and with their own pace of learning. [7] The use of the term student-centered learning can also simply refer to pedagogical ways of thinking or instructional methods that recognize individual differences in students. [8] In this sense, student-centered learning emphasizes each student's interests, abilities, and learning styles, placing the teacher as an intermediary of learning for individuals rather than for the class as a whole. Background theorists such as John Dewey, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, whose collective work focused on how students learn, have informed about the transition to student-centered learning. John Dewey was an advocate for progressive and he considered learning to be a social and experiential process. He believed that a classroom environment where students could learn to think critically and solve real problems was the best way to prepare students for the future [9]Carl Rogers' ideas about the formation of the individual also contributed to student-centered learning. Rogers wrote that the only learning that significantly affects behavior [and education] is self-discovery. [10] Maria Montessori was also a pioneer of student-centered learning, where preschoolers learn through independent self-directed interaction with previously presented activities. The self- determination theory focuses on the degree to which an individual's behavior is self-sustaining and self-determined. When students are given the opportunity to measure their learning, learning becomes an incentive. Student-centered learning involves inverting the traditional teacher-centered

  • The Cea Forum 2019
    Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 Exploring Instructor Perceptions of and Practices for Public Discourse in First-Year Writing Courses Jill Parrott, Lucas Green, Courtnie Morin, Jordan Kaiser, Cody Smothers, Sam Rodgers Eastern Kentucky University A long-standing goal of the university in the Western tradition has been to prepare students to enter into a democratic society as informed citizens, but contemporary practices are often aimed at cultivating individuals for specialized careers rather than preparing them for general civil interactions. As James Berlin reminds us in Rhetoric and Reality, the classical rhetors Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and Augustine placed rhetoric at the center of learning and emphasized its fundamental role in maintaining democratic ideals (2). Though the modern academy appears to stray from this principle historical objective, contemporary freshman composition courses (among others) maintain the capacity to do more than “prepare students for the workplace” (Berlin 189). Compositionists often embrace a humanistic perspective, wherein meaning is created in the material practice of writing and the writers themselves and their audiences are impacted throughout the process, giving purpose to the communicative act beyond a purely utilitarian function (Lindemann 3-8). Composing is a cultural act; a text is both influenced by and influences the society in which it is constructed (Farris). The first-year composition classroom offers the unique capacity to function as a mock micro-society in which students may practice participating in civil public discourse in a relatively low-stakes environment, teaching 234 www.cea-web.org Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 both writing skills and democratic acts that may then be transferred and applied into the public sphere (Ervin; Friend; Crisco; Selfe).

  • Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 8 • Issue 2 • 2011 doi:10.32855/fcapital.201102.004 Rejecting Academic Labor as a Subaltern Class: Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy Henry A. Giroux While liberals, progressives, and left-oriented educators have increasingly opposed the right-wing assault on higher education, they have not done enough either theoretically or politically in connecting the issues of academic freedom, the proliferation of non-tenured and part-time faculty, and the state of critical pedagogy in the university. Although concern has been expressed about the shameless exploitation of non-tenured and part-time faculty in the United States (actually, an under-the-radar parallel alternative to the traditional tenure system), such concerns have not been linked to a full-spirited critique of the anti-democratic forces now affecting higher education through the relentless expansion of a growing managerialism and a neoliberal approach to university governance.[1] The current labor crisis facing higher education shoul be addressed as part of a much broader assault on society by corporations, the military, right-wing foundations, and conservative religious groups. Higher education is a dangerous site because it offers the potential both for fostering critical thought and for shaping oppositional subject positions, identities, and social relations that could challenge the current neoliberal regime of ideology, politics, and economics. At the same time, it offers a space and modes of pedagogy that often unsettle many of the dominant orthodoxies and fundamentalisms that now dominate American culture. I believe that one way to challenge this military-industrial-academic complex is to make the question of pedagogy central to a reformulated politics that reclaims the university as a democratic public sphere.

Maryellen Weimer, who has written several books and articles about this topic, defines learner-centered teaching as teaching that makes learners responsible for learning Learner-centered education makes sense from our new understandings based on neuroscience of how learners learn NEA, As this approach is a paradigm shift from traditional teacher-centered instruction, this article overviews some of the mental shifts necessary for thinking from a learner-centered perspective. Becoming learner-centered leads us to focus our teaching directly on learning. It University Teaching in Focus: A Learning-Centred Approach not mean placing the students in charge! We need to avoid the mistaken viewpoint that teachers are here to serve our customers, the students, and to deliver education to them. Weimer states that learner-centered teaching involves students in:. Blumberg and Weimer describe dimensions of learner-centered teaching and contrast them with dimensions of instructor-centered teaching. We have outlined these dimensions in the following sections. In a learner-centered environment, learners are aware of the reasons for learning the content, develop ways to learn about the content that are appropriate for the discipline, and practice solving real world problems based upon the content. In an instructor-centered approach, instructors often focus on delivering content through lectures and demonstration.
