Abstract

Educators have been insisting on the utilization of the learner centered teaching during the teaching and learning process. To accomplish that aim, several countries have been instructing teachers on employing the learner centered teaching in the classrooms. This educational approach has been stating to be effective for improving teaching, learning, and students’ performance. The implementation of the learner centered teaching has been observed to face some challenges. One of the arguments is the inconsistencies between teacher’s perceptions and practices. The inconsistencies found to occur when teachers carry out the teaching and learning process in the classrooms. In this case, teachers found to be unsuccessful in performing effective practices as suggested in the learner centered teaching. They support facilitating students by employing the learner centered teaching, but in the real teaching, they mix with the teaching methods/practices that are not effective.
