Student-Centered Learning: Practical Application of Theory in Practice
About Campus, v24 n1 p13-16 Mar-Apr 2019
One cannot underestimate the social components of learning. Why are we not educating for an era in which the skills of connecting and constructing are more important than ever? Millennials are by far the most accomplished generation at productive collaboration. An active, student-centered experience will serve them well the rest of their lives. For higher education, the bottom line must be preparing students for the challenges they will encounter in the rest of their lives. This article provides comments from leading scholars on the future of higher education and comments from students on their own learning experiences, and it describes the flow of an all-day training workshop for facilitators in student-centered learning.
