Factors Contributing to Persistence of Teacher Centered Learning in the Higher Educational Sector of Sri Lanka
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
A modern day classroom does not require the physical existence of a teacher or students. Learning can be done within an entirely virtual environment. This is in contrast to the traditional environment of learning where the teacher was the epicenter of attention. Higher education is a sector where most students thrive to strike a balance between obtaining one or more qualification and professional experience at the same time which make their lives hectic. Hence modern methods of leaning have proven to be more convenient and effective. However in Sri Lankan higher education sector, still the traditional teacher centered learning environment is preferred over the student centered learning environment where there is more active involvement of the students. This study aims to understand the factors which influence persistence in the teacher centered learning in the higher education sector of Sri Lanka despite the emerging trend of combining learning with modern technology and making students the core of attention in the learning environment. Among such factors the lack of awareness, resources, technological proficiency, motivation as well as cultural misconceptions are highlighted. The study concludes with recommendations for the educational policy makers and researchers who are further involved in this research area. M.
