Student Centered Learning – definition(s)? “ways of thinking and learning that emphasize student responsibility and activity in learning rather than what the teachers are doing. ” Learning <> teaching (Cannon & Newble, 2000, 16) “Learning takes place through the active behavior of the student: it is what he does that he learns, not what the teacher does. ” (Ralph W. Tyler, 1949) 3 Inside out <> outside in SDU UNIVERSITETSPÆDAGOGIK

Student centered learning and quality The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Education Area (ESG) ESG 1. 3 Student-centered learning, teaching and assessment: “Institutions should ensure that the programmes are delivered in a way that encourages students to take an active role in creating the learning process […]” Quality on paper Effects of SCL: • Deep learning (Biggs, Saljö & Marton) • Motivation (Self-determination theory) • Transferable skills (Responsibility for own learning, employability) • Performance (Freemann et al. 2014) Quality in practice FREEMAN, S. , EDDY, S.

Group discussions 1. What does SCL look like in your course/semester/study programme - what's the underlying principle? 2. How is that conveyed to students and teachers (by the means of actions, not only in study guides)? 3. Is it coherent all through the course/semester/study programme - and how?

The implied student “the study practice, the attitudes, interpretations and behaviour of the student, that is presupposed by the way the study is organised, the mode of teaching and assessment, by the teachers and in the relations between the students, enabling the students to actualise the study in a meaningful way. ” (Ulriksen 2009, 522) • • 14 24 -11 -2020 Behaviour Interests Prerequisites Responsibility Independence Reasons for choosing your study … ”The good student”
