What is child-centered

Education?

Page 2: Child centered philosophy for modern teacher

“The noblest work in education is to make a reasoning man, and we

expect to train a young child by making him reason! This is beginning at

the end; this is making an instrument of a result. If children understood

how to reason they would not need to be educated."

–Rousseau

Rousseau's philosophy of education is not concerned

with particular techniques of imparting information and

concepts, but rather with developing the pupil's character

and moral sense, so that he may learn to practice self-

mastery and remain virtuous even in the unnatural and

imperfect society in which he will have to live.

Child-centred education is a sort of revolt

against subject-centred education.

The child is stimulated to activity by his

own felt needs and inner drives.

Child-centred Education seeks to provide natural

flow of activity and spontaneous growth of the

child.

She/He must be allowed to enjoy

complete freedom of action subject to the

condition that he should not interfere with the

freedom of others.

The great philosophers and educationalists like

Rousseau, Tagore, Froebel, Pestalozzi and Montessori

or have given emphasis on the child-centred Education

at different times:

As child is the Centre of Education,

development of mind, body and spirit of

the child should be reflected in the

programme and planning of education.

Rousseau advocates that child should be allowed to

learn from nature in his natural way without any interference

from the adult, that nothing should be taught to him until he is

capable of understanding it, that his individuality should be

respected, that his natural interests like play and curiosity

should form the basis of his education, and that books should be

avoided particularly at the early stage and more emphasis

should be given to the child sensory and natural development.

the child should be respected,

as he is with all his abilities,

educating him these should be given due consideration

and that all children cannot therefore be treated alike

child means that;

practice by insisting that education was not the privilege of any

single class but the right of every child belonging to different classes.

Education in teaching and learning

Broad understanding of performance

and ability

Conductive school community

pupil performance is not only demonstrating by competencies

which they use to become involved in their community to

develop their personalities.

Children are given diverse their opportunities to show their

capabilities. Feedback provides them with examples to manage and

achieve their tasks. This should help them to develop means of

evaluating their own performance.

manner

conducive school community

Progressive education have been termed

"child-centered" and "social reconstructionist"

approaches.

A Progressive Education allows everyone to think and

process for themselves, this is not to suggest that we can't all

come to the same truth or answer, it simply means that we

are free to pursue knowledge without any attempt to classify

our pursuit or judge whether it's right or wrong.

Page 16: Child centered philosophy for modern teacher

Most progressive education programmes have these qualities

in common:

Emphasis on learning by doing- experimental

learning, hand’s on projects

Strong emphasis on problem solving and critical

thinking

Group work and development of social skills

Understanding and action as the goals of learning

as opposed to rote knowledge

Collaborative and cooperative learning projects

Selection of subject content by looking forward to

ask what skills will be needed in future society

De-emphasis on textbooks in favour of varied

learning resources

Emphasis on life-long learning and social skills

Child-centered education has been an important foundation of

early childhood education since the time of Froebel. As a

professional, we will want to make our teaching and practice child

centered. In addition, we will want to advocate for the inherent

right of every child to a child-centered education.

A reemphasis on child-centered education is occurring as

society in general and becoming much interested in the whole child

and efforts to address all of children’s needs, not just their

academic needs. As a result, there is much concern for encouraging

children to become healthy in mind, body ,soul and lead healthy

lifestyles.
