Jeanne Chall on Key Differences Between Teacher-Centered and Student-Centered Instruction 6: Moral Development

“Teacher-Centered: Students learn right from wrong from their studies and from extracurricular activities.

Student-Centered: Moral behavior develops from the individual’s experience. It is best learned when not taught directly.”
