Teaching and Learning Forum 2000 [ Proceedings Contents Student centred learning: Is it possible? Len Sparrow Faculty of Education Curtin University of Technology Heather Sparrow Educational Development Unit Edith Cowan University and Paul Swan School of Education Bunbury Campus Edith Cowan University At both school and university level there has been a call for a move to student centred learning. This paper will consider the debate and suggest some activities, which can be used by university teachers to move from teacher centred to student centred learning models. A powerful student centred model would have integrated aspects of student choice of time and place for study, the content to be studied, the assessment of the material, and acknowledgment of prior knowledge and skill. Such student centred learning with classes of over thirty students based on the criteria presented may not be easily achieved, practical or even possible in the university setting. Compromises and variations in emphasis between student centred and teacher centred strategies incorporating negotiated and non-negotiable content with flexible delivery modes may be a way forward. Introduction Student centred learning and the drive to adopt it as the central pedagogy of university courses, has been part of vigorous discussions in teaching and learning for a number of years. Student centred learning has been recommended by many experts and influential reports. While references to student centred learning abound in the literature, definitions are often confused with other teaching strategies, for example:

Are you a retired member of the military or a professional in a social science-related field seeking a career change and want to teach social science in a middle or high school?

Are you seeking a non-traditional route to teaching that will allow you to convert your substantial social science background into teacher licensure and not require you to do redundant things? If any of these are true, this could be the program you've been looking for. The Master of Arts in Teaching degree allows you to earn a master's degree and, simultaneously, qualify for a license to teach middle and/or high school social science. Working closely with a faculty mentor, your online program (except for the in-classroom portion of Demonstration Teaching) offers you the flexibility you need to earn a master’s degree. What's in It for You: Benefits for the Graduate This program will allow you to: Become a licensed middle or high school social science teacher with all the benefits that come with that position, including entering the profession at the master's-level salary step.

Mathematics Instruction for Secondary Students with Learning Disabilities Eric D. Jones, Rich Wilson, and Shalini Bhojwani March/ April1997 Journal of Learning Disabilities Volume 30, Number 2, pp.151-163 Reprinted by Permission Table of Contents: Abstract Prior Achievement Perceptions of Self-Efficacy Attributes for Failure or Success Content of Instruction ... References Secondary students with learning disabilities generally make inadequate progress in mathematics. Their achievement is often limited by a variety of factors, including prior low achievement, low expectations for success, and inadequate instruction. This article will discuss techniques that have been demonstrated to be effective with secondary students who have learning disabilities in mathematics. The body of research on mathematics instruction for secondary students with learning disabilities (LD) is not developed well enough to describe a specific and comprehensive set of well researched practices, but it is sufficient for defining a set of procedures and issues as clearly associated with effective instruction and increased student achievement. In this article, data- based investigations of procedures that have evaluated the effectiveness of mathematics instruction with secondary students with LD will be discussed. Although this discussion will be based primarily on studies that were limited to secondary students with LD, some research; on the instruction and achievement of younger students or higher achieving populations will be considered.
