Lærersentriske

Lærersentriske refers to an educational approach where the teacher is the central figure in the learning process. This model emphasizes direct instruction, where the teacher dispenses knowledge to students. The curriculum is typically teacher-designed and delivered in a structured, often lecture-based format. Student engagement is often passive, with learning primarily occurring through listening, note-taking, and memorization of presented material.

In a lærersentriske classroom, the teacher holds authority and dictates the pace and content of lessons. Assessment is usually conducted through traditional methods like tests and quizzes designed to measure recall of factual information. The role of the student is to receive and absorb the information provided by the teacher. This approach can be effective for imparting foundational knowledge and ensuring that a specific set of facts or skills is covered systematically.

However, critics argue that lærersentriske methods may limit opportunities for student-led inquiry, critical thinking, and collaborative learning. The focus on the teacher as the sole source of knowledge can sometimes lead to disengagement among students who prefer more active participation or who learn best through different modalities. While historically a dominant model, contemporary educational discourse often advocates for more student-centered approaches that aim to foster greater autonomy and deeper understanding.
