Explain the Teaching and Learning process.
Student-centered learning brings “democratic participation, equality, and empowerment to learners and help transform and liberate societies” (Le Ha, 2014,).
Do not mean that students are left alone by the teachers.
Entail developing students’ ability to become their own teachers” (Goodyear & Dudley, 2015), which means that teachers should support students and help them learn how to learn, how to help one another, how to negotiate, how to be resilient when things get tough, and how to find solutions when they do not know what to do (Hattie, 2012).
The goal is to “create the learning experiences that empower pupils to practice the skills they need to feel competent to engage in physical activity in contexts beyond the school” (Haerens et al., 2011).
This idea demands active teachers who take responsibility for dynamically guiding students through their own teaching-learning process.
