It's a good question. First and foremost, teachers must be professionals and approach students with understanding and loyalty. Sometimes, students resort to checking grademiners reviews to improve their academic performance, and teachers should not turn a blind eye to that. They must understand the complexity of the university curriculum and provide assistance when necessary. Supporting students in their academic pursuits is vital for their success and helps foster a positive learning environment.

Definitely student centered approach - as they have to become independent learners, recognise real-life opportunities to apply class room learning, apply and creatively adapt the learning in meaningful ways.  Teacher-centred apporach needs to be limited to laying the foundation of topic and setting up instructions and assessing the learning.

I prefer a students centered approach because this give the students the ability to express themselves, discover more and independently responsible. As a teacher, you will be surprised at how innovative these students can be.

I prefer both of them but with 65% of student-centered approach and 35% of teacher-centered approach , because it's very important to make your students work with you during teaching, beside your basic important role.

I follow both of them, because it's very important to make your student work with you during teaching, beside your basic role.

I prefer to use student centered approach this is modern method of learnint since it built the abilty to student and make a student to develop ability and make long memory for what have studied, not only that it motivate the learner and feel that is part of a lesson and class interactive. salsabeel

Any teacher would like to have student participation in the class. The teacher should be a facilitater. Ultimately he should make the student "LEARN TO ASK WHY"

Better is to use student-centered approach because when you use this approach students learn faster and better. They are not under pressure and they learn faster. Student-centered approach can activate all students of the class and they feel like everyone is important.

Weird question/ What good teacher, being in sound mind, would not center their work on students? Of course, bad would.
