A learner-centered learning environment, or a student-centered environment, focuses on the qualities that students bring with them to the classroom. This learning environment allows students to decide what kind of material they learn and how they learn it. This differs from teacher-centered learning environments, in which the classroom is commanded by the instructor who makes all the decisions. Learner-centered environments do not eliminate the essential role of the teacher. Conversely, this style of learning relies on the teacher’s knowledge and expertise to increase student engagement.
