Changing Education Paradigms Sir Ken Robinson
The term student-centered learning refers to a wide variety of educational programs,learning experiences, instructional approaches, and academic-support strategies that are intended to address the distinct learningneeds, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students and groups of students.
