7. Learner Centered Approach… Student are encourage to think for themselves. Express ideas by themselves Teacher only act as a coordinator and not giving any solutions for the problem Student are asked to make their own findigns. Learning is fun and interesting to student.

8. What type of Activity for these methods?... How can we realize activity: –Step 1: Set the familiar intersting situation (teacher lead student to the object of the lesson, by using why, and how) –Step 2: Extract the main problem from student themselves. (Teacher sets and control classroom descussion) –Step 3: Summarize what was important in the lesson.

9. Why do we realize activity? Is this learning? –Perform according to the command of the teacher. –Memorize without no meaning and no purpose. We must keep this in mind!! Learner Centered Approach will be realized by the child lively Actions.
