õpetajakeskset

õpetajakeskset refers to an educational approach where the teacher is the central figure and primary source of knowledge transmission. In this model, instruction typically follows a teacher-led format, with the educator delivering lectures, explaining concepts, and guiding students through exercises. The focus is on the teacher's expertise and the systematic dissemination of information to the students. Learning is often characterized by passive reception of knowledge from the teacher, with less emphasis on student-led inquiry or collaborative activities. Assessment usually involves evaluating students' ability to recall and apply the information presented by the teacher. This approach can be effective for delivering foundational knowledge and ensuring a standardized curriculum. However, it may limit opportunities for students to develop independent learning skills, critical thinking, and creativity, as the teacher's role is dominant in the learning process. The term highlights a pedagogical philosophy that prioritizes the instructor's authority and control over the educational environment.
