Give me Three Learner Centered Philosophies

- Progressivism: Progressive education revolves around the child’s needs and this comes from the experience of the child. Progressivists believe that teachers should foster the development of the whole child through hands-on learning, experimentation and play.

* Thought leaders in this philosophy: John Dewey,
William H. Kilpatrick, Maria Montessori, and Rudolph Steiner

- Humanism: rooted in the idea that people have an ethical responsibility to lead lives that are personally fulfilling while at the same time contributing to the greater good for all people. stresses the importance of human factors rather than looking at religious, divine, or spiritual matters. 

-  Constructivism: Learners are not passive recipients of information, but that they actively construct their knowledge in interaction with the environment and through the reorganization of their mental structures. "knowledge-acquisition” to“knowledge-construction”. the teacher becomes a cognitive guide of learner’s learning and not a knowledge transmitter.

Weimer calls this work the “messy work of learning.” Learning how to learn. Teachers teach students how to learn while they are teaching content. He also stated that Reflecting and assessing their own learning and taking responsibility for modifying approaches to strengthen their skills. Having control over some of their learning processes, such as making choices about assignments and helping to develop course policies. Learning collaboratively from one another and from their teachers.
