Correct answer: D
Concept
Learner-centred teaching gives learners agency while recognizing that they differ in prior knowledge, ability, interests, and learning needs.
Learning is active and participatory rather than passive reception.
Application
Active participation places the learner in the process of constructing knowledge.
Passive listening describes teacher-directed reception and removes the active learner role.
Assuming similar abilities overlooks individual differences that learner-centred teaching is designed to accommodate.
Deciding what and how to learn expresses learner choice and autonomy.
Cross-check and contrast
A and C only combines active participation with a uniform-ability assumption.
A, B and C only combines participation with passive reception and a uniform-ability assumption.
A, C and D only combines participation and learner choice with a uniform-ability assumption.
A and D only joins the two agency-based features: active participation and choice over what and how to learn.
The retained features both concern learner agency; the excluded features either remove active participation or erase learner diversity.
Therefore, the appropriate combination is A and D only.
