oppijakeskeisissä

Oppijakeskeisissä is a Finnish term that translates to "learner-centered" in English. It refers to an educational philosophy and pedagogical approach that prioritizes the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of the student. In an oppijakeskeisissä environment, the focus shifts from rote memorization and teacher-directed instruction to active participation and self-directed learning.

Key characteristics of an oppijakeskeisissä approach include fostering student autonomy, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting collaboration. Teachers in such settings act as facilitators and guides, supporting students in their learning journey rather than being the sole source of knowledge. Learning activities are often designed to be engaging and relevant to students' lives, making the educational experience more meaningful. This approach emphasizes the development of lifelong learning skills, empowering students to take ownership of their education and adapt to new challenges. The goal is to create an environment where every learner feels valued, motivated, and supported in achieving their full potential.
