Student-centered learning is unimaginable without the implementation of differentiated approaches. We can find out a number of publications and articles about this subject. The American professor Carol Ann Tomlinson has quite important articles on differentiated teaching from contemporaries. In his work, Tomlinson discusses in detail and in depth the essence of differentiated teaching as one of the effective approaches and the principles of its implementation. However, a number of issues (why is differentiated learning so important and relevant? What makes it relevant?) Still require a good understanding in order to successfully implement this approach when teaching a particular subject. These issues are discussed in the article on the example of teaching elementary school mathematics and clarifies the perspectives of using a differentiated approach in these areas. Differentiated learning is fully suited to student-centered learning, as it implements a learning process focused on the needs, skills and abilities of each student (group of students). According to Tomlinson, differentiated learning is constructed and implemented to take into account the readiness, interests and learning profile of students to create optimal conditions for development for each of them. This is one of the best ways to implement an individual approach to students.Providing a learning process tailored to the needs of the students and teacher feedback on the needs of the students include teacher activities in a number of areas. Tonlimson and Mooney consider new opportunities for students, a sense of partnership, expectations, and training for quality learning significantly; Which contributes to class success and student growth. The condition for facilitating is the active involvement of students in the learning process, their cooperation;The essence of the issue is clarified in the article on the example of a mathematics course, how we can apply this approach in the teaching-learning process and why it is extremely valuable to implement differentiated teaching from the elementary level. This need is explained in relation to the specifics of teaching mathematics as a school subject. The "technology" of differentiated teaching, the essence of differentiation based on student readiness, as well as what the subject of differentiation includes are discussed in detail. Differentiation of each component according to the individual components of the curriculum (content, process, product) is discussed with specific examples. With the help of different types of tasks it is possible to use the possibilities and perspectives of differentiation in teaching mathematics at the elementary level. Some recommendations in this regard are offered. The issue discussed in the article concludes that the purposeful use of differentiation from the elementary level gives a great chance for the multifaceted development of students, which is accompanied by the results of successful teaching in mathematics.

This study was aimed at looking at teaching tools and materials (ABM / BBM) used by lecturers in implementing student-centered learning at institutions of higher learning. In this study, the implementation of a student-centered approach is only seen in one Malay language course. This study involved a Malay language lecturer as the main research participant, while the students involved during the learning process during the study were also made informants. The findings show that there are a variety of ABM / BBM used by lecturers for the purpose of promoting active involvement of students following the learning session. However, in order to ensure that the learning process takes place more smoothly in line with the development of the 21st century pedagogy and to address the challenges of Education 4.0, lecturers are advised to be more aware of the latest technology developments so that ABM / BBM can be used in class in line with world development education is now inseparable with technological developments.

Facilitating an online course in today’s student population requires an educator to be innovative and creative and to have an impactful online presence. In the current online learning environment (also known as e-learning), keeping students’ thoughtfully engaged and motivated while dispensing the required course content necessitates faculty enabling a safe, nonjudgmental environment whereby views, perspectives, and personal and professional experiences are encouraged. The educator must exhibit an educator-facilitated active, student-centered learning process, whereby students are held accountable for their active participation and self-directed learning while balancing a facilitator role to further enhance the learning process. This article explores one educator’s reflective practice process that has been developed over numerous years as a very early adopter of online education. It will explore the organizational aspect of teaching-facilitating a dynamic robust online course.

<p><em>In the 21<sup>st</sup> century, learning is different from the previous century, where in the learning process students not only memorize knowledge but they are required to be active and creative in thinking. The purpose of this study is to describe the concepts of Problem Based Learning and Student-Centered Learning. The result of this study is that Problem Based Learning is part of Student-Centered Learning where the learning process in Problem Based Learning focuses more on students as learning people.</em></p>

<p><em>Students at higher education institutions are definitely adults who should be encouraged and given motivation </em><em>to be</em><em> the 'adult' learners. Each student has diverse characteristics that will make them ultimately bring different perspectives to the class (different types of backgrounds, learning styles, experiences, and aspirations). Therefore, educators are no longer possible to use conventional methods in cultivating the values to students to get them to be adult learners. The psychological condition of adults will encourage the teaching and learning process to be more directed to the Student-Centered Learning. This method is built on the principles of active learning constructive, some social activity, mental reflection, implementation of prior knowledge, and so forth. The learning process is a reflection cycle (about what happened), the idea of a thing (or something that needs to be tested), action (trial to do something), and outcomes (concrete experience). Problem-Based Learning method is an option that can be used to support the activities of Student-Centered Learning for the use of problems in the learning process can trigger the curiosity of students that will lead them to be able to solve their own problems by giving a definition of a certain problem and specify the collected information. In this way, students will try to associate the information they have and be able to specify the topics they will learn more.</em></p>

This research is aimed at getting to know the problem of cadets in Nautical Science Study Program academic year 2016/2017 in their second semester grade upon their way to master communication skill especially in the practice of using Maritime term-based communication. Knowing the problem, researcher scaffold the cadets as many as 30 cadets with the typically teaching and learning process which is much concerned to the learners. This research was conducted in an action research where it included some cycles that is teaching and learning cycles, diagnostic cycle, treatment or scaffolding and taking a conclusion. The result of the study shows that communicative approach taught by Maritime English lecturer which emphasizes cadets to speak is not that simple to be practically given to them. It is due to the different native speaking country or cultural background that does not customize them to speak up. Scaffolding them by implementing the use of Standard Marine Communication Phrases in class combined with the type of teaching approach which higlight to student-centered learning is proven giving better achievement of teaching and learning process.Thirteen out of the twenty three cadets or it is more than a half percentage of the class achieved better skill in communication in English especially in maritime context by the use of Standard Marine Communication Phrases.

This chapter examines the cognitive demands of student-centered learning from, and with, Web-based multimedia. In contrast to externally-structured directed learning, during the student-centered learning, the individual assumes responsibility for determining learning goals, monitoring progress toward meeting goals, adjusting or adapting approaches as warranted, and determining when individual goals have been adequately addressed. These tasks can be particularly challenging in learning from the World Wide Web, where billions of resources address a variety of needs. The individual, in effect, must identify which tools and resources are available and appropriate, how to assemble them, and how to manage the process to support unique learning goals. We briefly analyze the applicability of current cognitive principles to learning from Web-based multimedia, review and critically analyze research and practice specific to student-centered learning from Web-based multimedia, and describe implications for research.
