    Learning/interest/activity centers can be used to create a student-centered environment where students actively shape their own learning rather than passively receiving information. Such centers allow students to manipulate materials, explore ideas, discover consequences, build, create, and express themselves. While the author would like to implement these centers, a lack of resources requires a more traditional approach blended with 21st century skills. Overall, centers can transform the classroom into a community that places responsibility on students and promotes skills like independent problem-solving and lifelong learning.

    Discuss how learning/interest/activity centers can be applied to your classroom.

    Do you plan on using them? Why or why not?

    Explain how learning/interest/activity centers contribute to a positive classroom environment.

    A 21st century education is not about a number of students sitting quietly at desks, in neat

    rows and column, assimilating all what the teachers says or writes. The 21st century education

    is not about neither teaching to the test nor telling students what they need to memorize to get

    an A, which is a symbol for product quality.

    I think it is more complicated than that, defining and delivering 21st century learning is a little

    more complex. And when done correctly, it creates an environment in which engaged students

    can actively shape their learning. 

    To me, the role of educators in this 21st century should be helping every student learn how to

    learn, so implementing learning/interest/activity centers in a classroom, is all about creating a

    student-centered learning environment.

    Learning center is an area throughout a program which allows children to learn by doing. In

    my class, I think to allow students manipulate materials, explore ideas, discover

    consequences, build, create and express themselves through art mediums.


    According to the NAEYC, learning centres is essential to create the best learning

    environments (Developmentally Appropriate Practices in the Early Childhood Classroom,

    1995).

    In the same light, building a conducive student- centred learning environment, we teachers

    have to create activities within our classroom based on the learners’ interest (interest learning

    centers) that encourages children to fully participate. To crown this, activity centers is a type

    of teaching in which students acquire knowledge and understanding by participating in a set

    of specially designed activities, rather than by passively listening to a teacher.

    I will love to implement these, but due to the lack of resources we are compelled to go

    through the traditional method and try as much as possible to blend it with the 21st century

    educational requirements.

    In sum, transforming your classroom into a community of learners and placing the

    responsibility of learning in their hands, will be an effective way to help students develop the

    skills required for independent problem-solving and lifelong learning.

    Learning/interest/activity centers provide the context for a teaching transformation, as well as

    a means for promoting fairness, harmony, inclusion, and academic excellence (Hilberg,

    Chang, & Epaloosse, (2003).
