Summary
The term “student-centered learning” is often used to describe a shift from a teacher-centric focus to a student-centric focus. Student-centered learning is embodied in three domains: student agency, scaffolded learning, and the cultural nature of learning. While student agency or voice is imperative for authentic student-centered learning experiences, it also requires that teachers surrender some classroom authority to make room for collaboration with students (Flessner, 2014; Kuhlthau et al, 2015; Levy, 2008; Vaughn, 2020). Student voice involves intricate teacher-student interactions enabling informed decision-making based on students' beliefs, preferences, and learning needs in the classroom (Lasky, 2005; Moses et al., 2020). With Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, students and teachers are given support in creating their own authentic experiences.
