The ________ classroom is one in which students are actively engaged in inquiry-based projects.

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2026 Paper 1 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026)
The correct answer is

Learner - centered

A classroom is classified by whose needs and activity sit at its centre. In a learner-centred classroom the student is the active agent of learning, while the teacher acts as a facilitator who designs experiences, poses problems and guides inquiry instead of only delivering content through lectures.

Inquiry-based projects are a defining feature of such a classroom. Students ask questions, investigate, collaborate, construct knowledge and reflect on what they find, which reflects constructivist ideas of Dewey, Piaget and Vygotsky. The standard term in educational literature for a classroom where students are actively engaged in this way is the learner-centred classroom.

A teacher-centred classroom is the opposite, with the teacher controlling talk and students listening passively. Activity-centred and project-centred describe particular methods or tools that a learner-centred classroom may use, not the overall orientation of the classroom. The broad classroom type that places active, inquiring students at its centre is learner-centred.

Hence, Learner - centered.
