Developmental Education and the Paradigm Shift in Learning Views in a Knowledge-based Society

(A Focus on Active Learning, Problem Solving, and Flipped Classrooms)

Abstract

In the past, most university classes tended to be teacher-centered. However, nowadays, the paradigm is shifting to a student-centered classroom in a knowledge-based society. The central concept of a learner-centered classroom is “active learning,” which includes problem solving, project-based learning, and flipped learning. In this paper, some of these activities and methods related to developmental education are discussed.
