expertise and knowledge, making
them valuable resources for
students. This approach recognizes
the importance of their experience
and qualifications in imparting
accurate and comprehensive
information.
2. Classroom Management
- In a teacher-centered approach,
the teacher maintains control over
classroom management and
discipline. This helps establish a
structured and conducive learning
environment, maximizing the
potential for student engagement
and learning.

- Teacher-centered education is
particularly effective in introducing
students to fundamental concepts
and building a strong knowledge
foundation. It allows for a
sequential and systematic
approach to ensure fundamental
principles are adequately covered.
4. Guided Learning
- By taking a central role,
teachers can provide clear
guidance, direction, and support
to students. This guidance helps
students navigate complex or
abstract concepts, ensuring they
receive a solid understanding of
the subject matter.

important advantages, it is essential to
balance it with student-centered

student engagement, collaboration,
critical thinking, and problem-solving
activities can enhance learning outcomes.
