“以学生为中心”的教学理念主要起源于西方,本世纪初才开始逐步被国内高校教师所接受,强调学生学习的主体地位,自我学习和管理,教师起引导作用。但是,在实际的教学过程中,“以学生为中心”的教学理念很难本土化。而新西兰职业教育中“以学生为中心”的教学理念非常成熟,可为高职院校教育教学提供借鉴。 “Student-centered ” teaching philosophy originated in the West, began to be gradually accepted by domestic university teachers early this century, emphasizing the dominant position of student learning, self-learning and management, teachers play a guiding role. However, in the actual teaching process, the teaching concept of “student-centered” is difficult to localize. However, the teaching concept of “taking students as the center” in the vocational education in New Zealand is very mature, which can provide reference for the education in higher vocational colleges.
