INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING

              If the nation wants to progress and develop, the support of Student-Centered learning is to have with. Schools here in Philippines already adopted SCL as an Instruction.

              Lets take a look with he traditional classroom, a teacher can discipline and manage his students. The teacher in that has always the first and final say in the classroom. But the ...hmmmm.... shall we say the bad one is that the students seems to be stagnant on their chairs, meaning they are just mostly sitting on their chairs and are unable to play with the different environment that makes their learning lively and meaningfully for they are the ones who makes movement for their own learning. Students sometimes feel always the voice of the teacher who echoes most of the times and leads the discussion. Teacher's whole mouth covers the whole classroom.

             While on the other hand, the SCL environment, it gives students the stage to interact with each other, be motivated as everyone can participate and enjoy. Noisy it is, but it gives the students' independence and self-awareness.

            It doesn't mean hat the latter one, will replace the teacher's role in handling the classroom management. It is that the teacher is always knowledgeable than the students, but he do not anymore covers the whole classroom with his mouth alone but he is now a facilitator, A facilitator who is more after of students' voices to be heard by everybody.

           SCL should be on the teachers' hand
