The Learner-Centered Paradigm of Education
Watson, Sunnie Lee; Reigeluth, Charles M.
Educational Technology, v48 n5 p42-48 Sep-Oct 2008
This article, the third in a series of four installments, begins by discussing the need for paradigm change in education and for a critical systems approach to paradigm change, and examines current progress toward paradigm change. Then it explores what a learner-centered, Information-Age educational system should be like, including the APA learner-centered psychological principles, the National Research Council's findings on how people learn, the work of McCombs and colleagues on learner-centered schools and classrooms, personalized learning, differentiated instruction, and brain-based instruction. Finally, one possible vision of a learner-centered school is described. (Contains 3 tables.)
