| Popis | This chapter deals with learner-centred teaching (LCT), which is a preferred teaching strategy worldwide. LCT can bring a significant impact on students, but it is exceedingly important to understand the new roles which teachers and students play in this educational approach. Qualitatively innovative relationships between teachers and students are created to improve students' learning process. The university teachers encourage students to become active learners and their role changes from "teachers" to "facilitators or mentors." The teacher role consists in facilitating student acquisition of crucial course concepts while the student personal development and attitude head towards the learning improvement. In this chapter, learner-centred teaching is presented from two points of view. The first view is a teaching method used in higher education in the course Didactics of Natural Science Subjects taught at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University. The other one is an implementation of this educational approach in school practices by students (teacher candidates) - participants of this course. The research findings connected with the effectivity of innovative strategies are represented in this text. The core of the chapter is the description of experience with LCT at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University, which can be used as a verified example of effective practice at other universities. |
