Which of the following are the characteristics of learner centered Approach?…

Concept

Instructional approaches are classified by who decides the goals, the content and the pace of learning. A teacher-centred (subject-centred) approach is organised around the subject matter the teacher selects: covering the prescribed content is the goal, the teacher fixes what will be studied, and every learner receives the same exposure.

A learner-centred approach is organised around the learner instead. What the learner can do — skills and processes — matters more than how much content is covered, the learner's needs and interests set the direction, what will be studied is settled cooperatively with the learners, and exposure is deliberately varied to suit individual differences.

Application

Test each of the four statements in the list against that definition:

• Emphasis on skills — a learner-centred design is judged by the competencies the learner acquires rather than by the volume of content transmitted, so it belongs to the learner-centred column.

• Centred on the learner's needs — this is the defining criterion of the approach and follows directly from its name.

• Cooperative determination of subject matter — teacher and learners decide together what will be studied, in place of a syllabus imposed by the teacher alone.

• Variability of exposure — learners differ in readiness, pace and learning style, so they are given different material, routes and time; uniform exposure is the teacher-centred counterpart.

Cross-check

Setting the same four dimensions side by side makes the contrast explicit:

Not one of the four statements sits in the teacher-centred column, so none of them can be dropped from the selection.

Result

All four statements — emphasis on skills, centring on the learner's needs, cooperative determination of subject matter and variability of exposure — are characteristics of the learner-centred approach, so the selection A, B, C and D is correct.
