LB #12: Information Technology in Support of Student-Centered Learning

The traditional learning is a process wherein a teacher spoon-feeds the students all the information needed for the student to learn the lesson. This is the direct instruction. But times are changing. Direct instruction may apply to economies that depend on factory workers who do repetitive work without thinking on the job.

But industrialized economies may need workers who depend on information that can be accessed through information and communication technologies (ICTs). Schools in developed and developing countries have then adopted the support of ICTs. Students now become active learners, wherein they could interact with other learners. They become independent.
