ICT supports learner centred pedagogy – UGC NET Question

ICT integration often shifts focus from the teacher delivering information to students actively engaging with digital resources and peers. This aligns with learner centred approaches that emphasise autonomy, inquiry and collaboration. Such environments allow students to take responsibility for their learning paths. Thus, ICT in this context supports a learner centred approach.

Option A:
Option A, teacher centred, emphasises lectures and one way transmission of knowledge, which may be reduced when ICT encourages active student participation.

Option B:
Option B is correct because constructivist uses of ICT stress the learner's role in constructing knowledge, placing the learner at the centre of the teaching learning process.

Option C:
Option C, content centred, focuses mainly on covering syllabus topics rather than on how learners engage with them.

Option D:
Option D, exam centred, narrows learning to test preparation and does not capture the broader pedagogical orientation encouraged by ICT.
