The workshop concentrated on the importance of students centered learning a
s an effective process which consider the needs of student with respect to his/her ability to learn.
The participants started to accept the new approach of student centered learning carefully at the beginning but after more demonstration about this approach by using brainstorm and group discussion they began to appreciate this as a new way to facilitate learning and to improve their practice putting into their consideration that they can’t learn on behalf of the student and the best thing that they can do is to let the students to take responsibility on their own learning instead of sitting in the classroom and listening.
I think now the participants have gotten many things to apply in their practice and in their daily life. In the same time they are looking forward to the next workshop.
