Teacher vs Learner Centered Instruction

Teacher vs. Learner-Centered Instruction

Teacher-Centered	Learner-Centered
Focus is on instructor	Focus is on both students and instructor
Focus is on language forms and structures (what the instructor knows about the language)	Focus is on language use in typical situations (how students will use the language)
Instructor talks; students listen	Instructor models; students interact with instructor and one another
Students work alone	Students work in pairs, in groups, or alone depending on the purpose of the activity
Instructor monitors and corrects every student utterance	Students talk without constant instructor monitoring; instructor provides feedback/correction when questions arise
Instructor answers students’ questions about language	Students answer each other’s questions, using instructor as an information resource
Instructor chooses topics	Students have some choice of topics
Instructor evaluates student learning	Students evaluate their own learning; instructor also evaluates
Classroom is quiet	Classroom is often noisy and busy

Berdasarkan perbedaan dua instruksi diatas, saya melihat dalam perkuliahan sekarang ini, lebih diterapkan metode learner-centered. Dan saya rasa metode ini cukup efektif daripada metode teacher-centered, karena menuntut kita untuk lebih aktif dan mempersiapkan materi sebelum kuliah berlangsung.
Tetapi bagi anak-anak yang masi dalam tingkat SD, saya rasa metode teacher-learner akan lebih baik.
