Abstract

Traditional teacher-centered educational approaches are found to be ineffective in enhancing learning outcomes and may stifle students' autonomy and spontaneous knowledge acquisition, thus impeding their cognitive development. This study primarily focuses on an in-depth exploration of the learner-centered ideology, accentuating the pivotal role of learners and their unique needs. It explores various educational paradigms and conducts a comparative analysis with other ideologies, such as social efficiency, social reconstruction, and scholar academic. The findings reveal that learner-centered education excels in addressing curriculum content, societal demands, and individual learner needs. Despite criticism, it enhances educational quality by promoting student independence, creativity, and knowledge acquisition.
