eBook-Pedagogies for Student-Centered Learning: Online and On-Ground

What comes to mind when you hear student-centered learning? Do you immediately see a classroom without a teacher? Do you see students teaching other students? How do you know which pedagogies to use when designing the best learning environment? The question of determining what pedagogies to use within the classroom (on-ground or virtual) can often plague teachers given today's student.
 
This book will help you to identify the difference between teacher-centered and student-centered learning and the various pedagogies commonly associated with each. This book will draw upon the research and experience of three different educators and their pedagogical variations and uses within the classroom and online. Crumly’s synopsis of student-centered learning and suggested action is followed by a collaborative dialogue with Pamela Dietz and Sarah d'Angelo. Dietz and d'Angelo provide practical commentary regarding the successful implementation of Crumly's proposed approaches. As a group, Crumly, Dietz, and d'Angelo create a text that extends pedagogical innovation in inspiring but practical ways.

"Student-centered learning has existed ever since ‘those-who-profess’ learned they could inspire their pupils. Do not let persistence over time weaken this paradigm shift; that is not the point. A teacher’s approach to facilitating learning is ever adaptive to the needs of the student, delivery medium, subject matter, environment, and moment. Innovation is the enemy of habit. Crumly, Dietz, and d'Angelo share this actively engaging text featuring a multitude of interactive quotes, diagrams, QR codes, and URLs that appeal to the learning explorer who likes to ‘change it up.’ This text features ways student-centered learning can be adapted through nonverbal expressions and physical space."

"Dr. Cari Crumly, along with Pamela Dietz and Sarah d’Angelo, in Pedagogies for Student-Centered Learning, make such impressive sense that the clarity and command of facts allow breath and scope for the variety of data explored. Moreover, if one is looking to identify the difference between teacher-centered and student-centered learning and the various pedagogies commonly associated with each, this is hands-down the piece to review. Dr. Crumly helps us think more clearly about the important issue of student-centered learning."
