Which of the following is NOT a learner-centric method of teaching?
Chalk and talk method
Concept: Learner-centred (student-centred) methods place the student at the core of the learning process — the learner actively explores, constructs knowledge, and the teacher acts as a facilitator. Teacher-centred methods, by contrast, make the teacher the sole active transmitter while students passively receive information.
Evaluating the options:
Project-based learning — learner-centred; students investigate a real problem and build knowledge themselves.
Flipped classroom method — learner-centred; students learn content at home and use class time for active, applied work.
Experiential learning — learner-centred; knowledge is constructed through direct experience and reflection.
Why the answer is the exception:
Chalk and talk method — this is the classic teacher-centred, lecture-based approach where the teacher writes and speaks while learners listen and copy. The student is passive, so it is NOT a learner-centric method, which is exactly what the question asks for.
Takeaway: Project-based, flipped and experiential learning all centre on the active learner; chalk-and-talk centres on the transmitting teacher.
Correct answer: Chalk and talk method
