Abstract
Learner-centered teaching (LCT) has emerged as a transformative approach in
education that prioritizes the needs, interests, abilities, and active involvement of
students in the learning process. This scientific article explores the theoretical
foundations, principles, practical strategies, and challenges involved in implementing
learner-centered teaching across diverse educational settings. Drawing upon
constructivist learning theories, cognitive psychology, and pedagogical research, the
study emphasizes the shift from traditional teacher-directed methods to student-
empowered learning environments. The article concludes by offering
recommendations for educators, institutions, and policymakers aiming to foster
effective learner-centered practices.
