Concept:Student-centered methods place the child at the heart of learning, encouraging active discovery and self-learning. In contrast, teacher-centered methods rely on direct instruction.
Explanation:The Heuristic method, introduced by Professor H. E. Armstrong, is also called the inquiry method. It makes students act like discoverers, solving problems by their own unaided efforts. This develops a spirit of inquiry and self-learning, making it truly student-centered.
The Lecture method is teacher-centric, where the teacher delivers information. The Historical method is used for history but is not inherently student-centered. The Lecture-demonstration method (chalk and talk) is also teacher-planned and teacher-led. Therefore, only the Heuristic method fits the definition of a student-centered approach.
