Lecturers new to the academic life setting normally face similar types of challenges. These challenges were intensified for new lecturers starting their careers in the academic setting during the COVID-19 pandemic, when classes were conducted online. Student-centered learning has been the focus in engineering education recently, but many of the current lecturers have never experienced this method of learning as students, resulting in unfamiliarity and inexperience in conducting classes using this method of teaching. Our experiences as two new lecturers starting our academic careers during the pandemic using both the student-centered learning method and teacher-centered learning method in different classes are reported through collaborative autoethnographic methods. Both of our reflections revealed that stark differences can be seen as an effect of the teaching method, concluding that the student-centered learning method is superior to the traditional teacher-centered learning method. However, applying the former method also has some challenges. To overcome these challenges faced by new lecturers, some action plans have been listed for future improvement, which could be very meaningful and useful to other new lecturers as well as educators new to applying the student-centered learning method.

Indonesia merupakan negara yang luas baik dari segi geografis maupun budaya. Dengan melihat perbedaan tersebut, tentunya tiap-tiap sumber daya manusia pada tiap-tiap wilayah menjadi lebih beragam. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengajukan suatu inovasi model kurikulum yang dianggap tepat untuk diterapkan. Kurikulum yang baik di era sekarang tentunya tidak mengedepankan teacher centered learning, namun memprioritaskan student centered learning. Kurikulum secara adaptif sangat berpotensi untuk mewujudkan student centered learning. Maka dari itu, model semacam ini sangat tepat untuk diterapkan karena memenuhi unsur prinsip-prinsip dalam kurikulum, terutama prinsip relevansi dengan perkembangan zaman. Adaptive Blended Curriculum (ABC) merupakan suatu model inovasi kurikulum yang menekankan pada kurikulum secara blended (campuran) antara langsung dengan tidak langsung. Hasil dari kajian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi suatu referensi alternatif dalam penerapan kurikulum yang layak di Indonesia.   Indonesia is a vast country both geographically and culturally. By looking at these differences, of course, it makes each potential human resource in each region more diverse. So, this study aims to propose an innovative curriculum model that is considered appropriate to be applied. A good curriculum in the current era certainly does not prioritize teacher centered learning, but prioritizes student centered learning. Adaptive curriculum has the potential to realize student centered learning. Therefore, this kind of model is very appropriate to be applied because it fulfills the elements of the principles in the curriculum, especially the principle of relevance to the times. Adaptive Blended Curriculum (ABC) is a curriculum innovation model that emphasizes the curriculum blended direct and indirect. The results of this study are expected to become an alternative reference in implementing a proper curriculum in Indonesia.

Student-centered learning approach is a key factor which focuses on students’ learning experiences and development, well-being and retention so that higher educational learning is delivered in ways that are demonstrably in the students’ best interests. In the teacher-centered approach to teaching, most of the class time is spent with the teacher lecturing and the student watching, listening and taking notes. The present study aimed to explore students’ and instructors’ perception, practices and challenges in implementing SCL. The study employed descriptive survey design by combining quantitative and qualitative approach to collect, process, analyzes and presents the data. A total of 12 instructors and 66 students of the second and third year psychology students have participated in the study through availability and purposive sampling technique. The instruments were questionnaire, classroom observation and un-structured interviews were conducted. Accordingly, the findings indicated that the teaching practices in implementing student-centered learning approach were not as expected. The result also showed that instructors had positive attitude toward the SCL, regarding several aspects such as providing the benefits to both students and instructors, being effective for teaching, creating close relationship and establishing active classroom environment. In the end, instructors also agreed that student-centered instruction will improve the ability of the students to learn the courses. Due to different challenges, most of the students were less interested to learn by SCL, such as sense of fear, lack of interest and confidence. The study further found that the lack of classroom facilities and conditions, large class size, inadequate teachers training, tendency of focusing on teacher-centered approach and limited ability to implement were the challenges of implementing. Finally, it is recommended that responsible bodies rearrange the facilities and conditions necessary inputs for the effective implantation of SCL. To minimize the challenges, instructors should create different techniques to make students participants in teaching-learning process.

The teachers' role has recently shifted that teachers now become the facilitators for their learners. These shifting learning approach has become an inevitabity to anticipate that a concret action is greatly required.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the concept and creation of choose-your-own-adventure flip-books for use in teaching information literacy in higher education. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper that examines how to use choose-your-own-adventure style flip-books to teach knowledge practices from the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Using constructivist theory and active learning methods, the authors discuss how flip-books offer a hands-on learning strategy to build on students’ knowledge and experiences while promoting learner-centered interactions. Findings As academic libraries evolve from teaching bibliographic instruction via lecture to information literacy through student-centered learning, activities such as the one discussed in this paper provide a way for librarians to better engage with students. Creating curriculum based on educational theory and learner-centered approaches is necessary for librarians to use to optimize classroom time. Practical implications This paper provides a practical and pragmatic evaluation of how to incorporate narrative flip-books into information literacy instruction, providing an additional instructional tool for information literacy practitioners. Originality/value The choose-your-own-adventure story narrative has been used as a learning tool through all levels of education, including in university settings, but there is a lack of research on their use in information literacy instruction. This paper provides insight on how this teaching method and teaching tool can be used by librarians in the information literacy classroom.
