| description | In Malaysia, traditional teaching is still a common approach among many lecturers. There have been many
studies reported its limitations and many lecturers have started to adopt more learner-centred teaching approach to
promote better learner understanding and learner motivation. Throughout this effort, it is noticed there are lecturers who
could not be assured and felt uncertain about this transition because they went through traditional teaching environment
during their studies. Due to this, the effort in shifting from traditional teaching to a more learner-centred teaching has
been challenging and hard-hitting. Nevertheless, educational and multimedia technology has played an important role in
creating a more interesting and engaging learning environments for our digital natives in this 21st century. In this research,
a framework is to be proposed based on Weimer’s Learner-Centred Teaching model and through the incorporation of
educational technology and multimedia technology in the learning environments. This proposed framework describes how
this learner-centred teaching environment could promote better learner experiences by increasing retention rate and
improving learner motivation. This proposed framework is recommended through the triangulation results from pre-test/
post-test, learning environments surveys and students’ written comments, which in turn serves as a guideline for lecturers
to identify how they could progressively shift to learner-centred teaching environment. |
