In Teacher-Centered Instruction, students put all of their focus on the teacher. You talk,
and the students exclusively listen. During activities, students work alone, and
collaboration is discouraged.

Teacher-Centered Instruction
Characteristics
1. The teacher is the center of knowledge and in charge of learning.
2. Students are usually passively receiving information.
3. The instructor’s role is to be primary information giver and primary evaluator.
4. Students are viewed as “empty vessels” who passively receive knowledge from their
teachers.
5. Teachers and professors act as the sole supplier of knowledge, and under the direct
instruction model, teachers often utilize systematic, scripted lesson plans.
6. Teacher Centered Instruction is fairly low-tech, often relying on the use of textbooks
and workbooks instead of computers
7. Assessments are in many cases only carried out as summative and not formative
evaluations and they rarely address qualitative issues of the learner’s progress.
