Abstract

This chapter focuses on the transition from teacher-centred learning to student-centred learning. First, we situate the importance of student-centred learning within the Angloplone Caribbean experience. Second, we outline ways in which on-going professional development centers institutions interested in making the transition to student-centered learning. Third, we describe some techniques that can be used to engender student-centered approaches to teaching and learning. Finally, we conclude by summarizing student-centred pedagogical challenges and implications.
