Abstract: Teacher-centered education and student-centered education are two different approaches to teaching and learning that have been widely debated in the field of education. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. Teacher-centered education, also known as traditional education, is an approach to teaching in which the teacher is the primary source of knowledge and authority in the classroom. Student-centered learning on the other hand helps students become active participants in their own discovery process. This paper compares these two approaches and endeavours to summarize their advantages.
