Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept

Learner-centred teaching shifts the active work of learning from one-way delivery to student participation. Interaction is strongest when learners exchange ideas, respond to peers, and build understanding together.

Application

Among the given methods, group discussion directly organises learning around students speaking, listening, questioning, and responding to one another. The teacher facilitates the exchange rather than delivering most of the content.

Contrast

  • A seminar generally centres on a prepared presentation followed by limited questions and discussion.

  • A workshop is participatory and hands-on, but its activity is commonly organised around practising a skill under facilitator guidance.

  • A lecture mainly uses structured speaker-to-audience delivery, so learner-to-learner exchange is not its defining feature.

Cross-check

Applying the defining test—whether learners continuously exchange and develop ideas with peers—selects group discussion.

Result

Therefore, the most interactive and student-centred method among the offered choices is Group Discussion.
