Purpose There have been ideological variations in the understanding of student-centered learning (SCL), culminating in varied practices of SCL across the world. The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of learning study on teachers’ appropriation of the conditions for learning in SCL lessons. Design/methodology/approach Three secondary school mathematics teachers in Tanzania formed a learning study group, guided by the theory of variation, to share their experience of how to engage learners in experiencing critical aspects of the object of learning. In-depth interviews, records of teachers’ lesson preparation meetings, and students’ tests were tools used to collect data. All of the qualitative data were analyzed using a phenomenographic variation framework and coding strategies. Moreover, a paired sample t-test was used to analyze the students’ pre- and post-test results. Findings The results show that teachers were able to identify critical aspects of two objects of learning for mathematics and create conditions for engaging learners in experiencing those aspects sequentially and simultaneously. There was strong evidence that the theory of variation as a framework helps teachers to learn effective ways of creating conditions for students to appropriate features of the objects of learning for mathematics as well as developing a new SCL pedagogical framework. Originality/value This study suggests that using learning study guided by the theory of variation supports teachers’ appropriation of the conditions for student learning within an SCL framework.

In the last few years an increasing emphasis on developing entrepreneurship has been evident in many universities in an effort to prepare students to integrate effectively into the competitive working environment of the 21st century. A key question is how to do this. This work examines the impact of Student Centered Learning (SCL) introduced in a multidisciplinary undergraduate course of Management of Innovation and Technology at the University of Nicosia. It examines students' and lecturer experiences, benefits and challenges of implementing SCL, and gives recommendations to lecturers for designing a SCL based curriculum, incorporating inductive methods. The findings may be useful for academics who teach entrepreneurship related topics and seek ways to incorporate innovative approaches in their teaching and learning processes in order to motivate students towards the development of entrepreneurial skills and thinking.

Student-centered learning approaches such as project-based learning and flipped classroom stress the active role of the learner by applying knowledge rather than absorbing knowledge, and preparing higher education students for professional development. Student-centered learning environments are more effective when students regulate their learning and learn autonomously. There-fore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a proposed ap-proach of flipped project-based learning on various facets of students' self-regulated learning, including motivational beliefs and learning strategies in higher education. A flipped project-based learning environment was designed and developed to improve students’ self-regulated learning skills. In this regard, multiple case studies were conducted according to a pretest-posttest quasi-experiment design to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by four groups of students from different disciplines. The study employed a mixed-method research approach for data collection. Overall, the results re-vealed that the flipped project-based learning approach significantly enhanced students’ self-regulated learning skills. It was found that the approach fostered the students’ self-regulation performance among different groups across dif-ferent disciplines and levels. Moreover, participants also claimed that the approach was useful and ef-fective. The findings indicated that students who actively engaged within flipped PBL activities demonstrated increases in cognitive and metacognitive functioning both individually and collaboratively. This study contributes to an advance in the understanding of how the development of SRL can be inte-grated into a flipped project-based learning environment in higher education.

This article aims to discuss some activities that can improve the professionalism of teachers in schools. The results of a survey conducted by PGRI regarding the impact of teacher professional certification on teacher performance show that the performance of teachers who have passed certification is still unsatisfactory and the performance of certified teachers is not satisfactory. Some of the activities of teachers in schools to improve their professionalism are making learning implementation plans, implementing student-centered learning strategies, carrying out an assessment of learning outcomes, self-development, carrying out scientific publications and innovative works, using learning media, and providing examples and guidance. Through some teacher activities at the school, the assumption that the results of the PGRI survey regarding the performance of certified teachers have not been satisfactory will be refuted or incorrect.

Within this chapter, technology-enhanced personalized learning is highlighted as a model for supporting all students in an inclusionary setting. Content of the chapter is focused on the birth, development, growth, and the eventual demise of a student-centered-model in one turn-around school district. The chapter focuses on the interplay of teacher methods and expectations; the impact of real-time progress data by students and teachers, and the points of contact where innovation collided with the expectations of traditional education practice. The authors also discuss various political elements that emerged as a result of the turnaround process. Finally, elements of the roles of teachers, technology, data, self-regulated learning, and competency-based education are discussed relative to establishing a student-centered learning environment.

Creating active, student-centered learning situations in postsecondary education is an ongoing challenge for engineering educators. Contemporary students familiar with visually engaging and fast-paced games can find traditional classroom methods of lecture and guided laboratory experiments limiting. This paper presents a methodology that incorporates driving simulation, motion simulation, and educational practices into an engaging, gaming-inspired simulation framework for a vehicle dynamics curriculum. The approach is designed to promote active student participation in authentic engineering experiences that enhance learning about road vehicle dynamics. The paper presents the student use of physical simulation and large-scale visualization to discover the impact that design decisions have on vehicle design using a gaming interface. The approach is evaluated using two experiments incorporated into a sequence of two upper level mechanical engineering courses.

Abstract: The purpose of the research was  to evaluate the implementation of KKNI based curriculum.  This study used a qualitative approach, case study. The data collection techniques were interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed by using Miles and Huberman techniques. The results of the research show four variables that were evaluated. From the result of data analysis it was found that First, in the aspect of the context variable, the perception of lecturers and students about curriculum implementation based on KKNI was already good, but the perceptions of the educational staffs were not good. Second, in terms of the input variable, it was seen from three points; the vision and mission, KKNI socialization, and learning management. Third, from the aspect of the process variable, in the learning process, the lecturers of Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training (FITK) tended to have implemented student- centered learning. Meanwhile the lecturers of Faculty of Sharia and Law (FSH) still tended to implement teacher- centered learning processes. Fourth, in terms of product variable, the achievement of the students who took curriculum class in reference to KKNI were very good.Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan kurikulum berbasis KKNI.
