teacher-centered
Instructor leads all learning
Teacher-centered describes educational approaches where the instructor controls the learning environment—lecturing, directing activities, and determining pace.
Students receive information rather than discover it.
The opposite of student-centered or learner-centered instruction: The traditional teacher-centered classroom has rows of desks facing the front.
