Assessing knowledge, skills and attitudes of undergraduate nursing students regarding student-centered learning approach in a university in the Volta Region, Ghana

Abstract

Globally, Student-Centered Learning Approach (SCLA) as a pedagogical strategy has become the accepted practice in higher education. This approach to teaching and learning requires that students take responsibility for their own learning, and the teacher only facilitates and guides the students in the learning process. SCLA more often than not builds students' confidence and critical thinking skills. The benefits of SCLA to students have been well documented however there is a dearth of knowledge of SCLA on the experiences of undergraduate nursing student whose previous learning did not expose them to studentcentered learning approach.
