The Impact of Student-Centered Learning on Academic Motivation and Achievement: A Comparative Research between Traditional Instruction and Student-Centered Approach

Abstract

This research explores the shift in the modern educational system towards student-centered learning based on its comparison to the traditional educational methods in standard classroom settings, emphasizing its distinctive factors and significance in creating intrinsic motivation and academic capabilities essential for success. The research underlines the crucial part that student-centered learning plays in developing intellectual capacity and intrinsic drive, both of which are necessary for academic success. The study, grounded in the theoretical underpinnings of creative pedagogy, emphasizes the value of student-centered learning while simultaneously exploring the impact of outside influences, particularly educators' perspectives, attitudes, teaching methods, and evaluation procedures. In order to fill in any gaps, the research explores the complex interplay of these factors within the framework of student-centered learning. The study urges the evolution of instructional strategies to fit the needs of the modern learning environment by emphasizing the importance of embracing and putting into practice student-centered tactics. The study reviews earlier research on student-centered learning and discusses how it might improve student motivation and performance. Additionally, it analyzes the methodology and theoretical framework that support student-centered approaches, including elements like personalization, active learning, and self-directed learning. It further states the importance of generating a supportive learning environment for students with a student-centered approach, emphasizing autonomy, motivation, and relatedness.
