Abstract

The educational system has been evolving since it was formalized in the 19th century. However, this evolution has reached its peak during the 20th century, when several educational institutions started to launch instructional initiatives that revolve around the student, paving the way for more student-cantered learning that allows students to learn and gain academic knowledge, in a manner through which their independence to use different resources is heightened. This modern approach also emphasizes the concept of interactive communication between students and teachers, and it does not leave students to their own devices (Popova, 2020, p. 196).
This is because student-cantered education makes students have more responsibility for the choices they make regarding learning objectives, academic subjects, and developmental strategies needed to enhance their mental capabilities (Das, 2019, p. 157).
