Teacher-Centered Instruction  In this approach, is one of the classic ways of teaching where the teacher is the central figure of the learning process, with the teacher serving as the primary source of knowledge and instruction.  The teacher directs the learning process, sets the pace of instruction, and controls the flow of information.  Best For: All age groups, Advantages Disadvantages  an efficient way of  can be passive and delivering information to a large group of students. disengaging for students.  allows for a structured and organized approach  not the most effective to teaching. approach for promoting  ensuring all students receive the same critical thinking, and content. active learning.  2. Student-Centered Approach  In this approach, the teacher’s primary role is to coach, guide and facilitate student learning and overall comprehension of material as they explore and discover the material independently, and to measure student learning through both formal and informal forms of assessment.

Kinesthetic learning  is a type of teaching method that involves physical activity and movement to help students learn and remember new information.  This approach to learning is based on the idea that students are more engaged and can better retain information when they can use their bodies and interact with their environment.
