QUESTION 1
1.1. Describing the Learner-Centred Approach in Social Science Education:
The learner-centred approach in teaching and learning, particularly in the domain of
Social Science, emphasizes the active involvement of students in their own learning
process. It shifts the focus from the traditional teacher-centric model to one that places
learners at the forefront, acknowledging their diverse backgrounds, interests, and
learning styles. In the context of Social Science, this approach involves fostering critical
thinking, empathy, and inquiry skills among students to understand complex societal
issues and phenomena.
At its core, the learner-centred approach acknowledges that each student brings unique
experiences and perspectives to the classroom, which can enrich the learning
environment. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding students through exploratory activities,
discussions, and projects that encourage them to construct their own knowledge rather
than passively receive information. In Social Science, this often involves analyzing
historical events, understanding cultural diversity, and grappling with contemporary
issues such as inequality, globalization, and sustainability.
Furthermore, the learner-centred approach in Social Science education promotes active
engagement with primary sources, case studies, and real-world examples, enabling
students to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications. Encouraging
students to ask questions, seek answers, and collaborate with peers, this approach
cultivates a deeper understanding of complex social phenomena and promotes lifelong
learning skills.
The learner-centred approach in Social Science education prioritizes student agency,
critical thinking, and active engagement with diverse perspectives and real-world issues.
By empowering students to take ownership of their learning journey, it prepares them to
become informed, responsible citizens who can contribute meaningfully to society.
