THE TEACHERS ROLE, STUDENTS ROLE, CONTENT ORGANISATION,DELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT IN LEARNER-CENTRED TEACHING IntroductionsLearner-centred classroom is a learning strategies which is used replace the lectures in theclass with opportunities to develop and study materials outside the class using video clips andreading materials. In the learner-centred model, teachers shift direct learning out of a largegroup learning space and move it into the individual learning space. Many teachers start toapply this model by using these readily available materials and enable the students to come toclass to be better prepared. This teaching and learning strategy had been compared to online,blends and distance learning.

Histor! o" L#$rn#r C#ntr#d T#$c%in& Str$t#&i#sThis learning strategies comes from "ommunity of #n$uiry which forwarded by %ewey inend of the &'Th century. The pedagogical said as, the child should be stimulated and controlledin his wor through life of the community. (e believed that under e)isting conditions far toomuch of the stimulus and controls proceed from the teacher, because of neglect of ideas of theschool. This pedagogical also said that, the teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideasbut is there as a member of the community to select the influences which shall affect the childand to assist him in properly responding to these influences.

They arouse students to brainstorm ideas and collaborate with their group members. /surveyconductedbytheFlippedLearning0etworin*+&*foundthat teachersassociateflipped learning with improved student performance and attitudes, and increased 1obsatisfaction. 2+3of teachers perceived an improvement in students! attitudes towardslearning. Teachers believed that flipped classroom helped the students be more effective. /ma1ority of teachers said that students prefer this student centred learning and this stimulatedstudent creativity.

Teachers arenot going to lecture but to plan, organise, support and help students to gain nowledge ande)perience through discussions and e)ploration. Teachers play the role as mentor and guidethe students to e)plore as many nowledge as they can. Technologies help teachers to flowtheir lessons in a flipped classroom much easier than before, in conventional classes. Stud#nts Ro*# in $ Stud#nt c#ntr#d L#$rnin&Students need to participate actively during the interactions. They conveyed their nowledge,ideas and opinions on topic discussed. Students e)plore through internet surfing to gain ideasand nowledgeonwhatthey areased to do beforethe lessons.%uring discussions,theyblend all ideas and opinion to get conclusions on topic discussed. Students also participate in collaborative learning where they collaborate and elaborate ideasand opinions on focussed topic. Students find a final solution or conclusion throughcollaboration. Students conveyed their ideas and opinions in a group discussion. They giveideas and get new ideas while discuss. This will enhance their nowledge and ideas on whatthat being discussed. Students also need to cooperate among group members. They play their role respectively andcombinedthe ideas as awholeandfinal it withnewsolutions, manyideas andbetterconclusions. They applied problem based learning and solve problems in variety ways to findfinal decisions. Students have to be well-prepared, doing their revision and get ready with ideas and opinionsto a better discussion. Students who are well-prepared may help their group members to find abetter solutions, gain more ideas and comes out with many brilliant ideas.Cont#nt Or&$nis$tionIn a flipped classroom, students are given a topic, and they will find the information about thetopic.They surf the internet,did alot ofreading,use varietyof readingmaterials togainnowledge and ideas on focussed topic.

Students are encourages to find their own ideasinteractively and conveyed their opinions in a group discussion.Teachers should use variety of teaching methods to convey their learning outcomes.Therefore, teachers have to mae sure that students may understand the lessons and able totransfer thenowledgetheygainintotheir dailylife. Studentsarewhat theylearnfromteachers.

It should be thought as a way to solve educational issues.
