Video on Student Centered Learning
This video has been extracted from a critically acclaimed movie - "To Sir, With Love".
The whole movie is about how the students who due to their upbringing, considered as rouges and rowdies transform themselves because of a dedicated teacher who is passionately interested in their growth (both academically and personally).
This particular video clipping clearly evinces, the interest in which the teacher is trying to bring some discipline in the class by clearly sharing the road map of 'Change'.
When the student comes late to the class without asking the teacher's permission, the way he deals with it and corrects her demonstrates Student centered Learning.
Another clipping from the movie "Tare Sameen Par" where a dyslexic child is been given a great importance by bringing out the best in him through painting is really edifying.
The education is all about the extracting the best within oneself. And it is proved in the below mentioned clippings.

It is an interesting piece of video Carol. Thanks for sharing. One can understand the kind of instructions and connotations that the teacher is making considering the age when this video must have been released.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the idea of giving the power of 'decent' behaviour to the hands of the students does install the responsibility that we as adults expect. The idea which may seem to be 'letting go' in essence is not the case - since the facilitator becomes a lot more empowered and the class takes control of things on their own and the idea behind coming to the class becomes much more than disciplining the students.
