Abstract

Student-centred learning is recognised as one of the best ways of improving deep learning
and understanding in students. However, most students entering tertiary education have
practiced spoon-fed learning approaches during primary and secondary education in Sri
Lanka. Thus, the study was designed to assess students’ perception and preference on
selected teaching-learning methods with the research question “which student-centred
learning methods are preferred by students?”.
