teacher-centered education

Teacher-centered education is a traditional approach where the teacher is the primary authority and source of knowledge in the classroom. The teacher directs lessons, provides information, and often leads exams and assessments, while students listen, take notes, and learn primarily through instruction. This model emphasizes structured learning, discipline, and mastery of specific content. It contrasts with student-centered approaches by prioritizing the teacher’s guidance over student exploration and participation. Overall, it aims to efficiently transmit established knowledge, with the teacher actively guiding the learning process.
