Pre-Teach Based on Student-Centered Learning in Higher Education

Dingnan Zhao

Abstract

This paper centers on the learning obstacles of university students and proposes the pre-teach section to improve learning and
retention based on student-centered teaching. 130 participants, all freshman students of a university in northwestern China were purposely
selected to experience the pre-teach approach. It addresses the problems of students who are lack of sufficient preliminary knowledge
and motivation in class and constructs a learning community for both teachers and students. However, a major problem with this kind of
application is the time required for teachers to prepare before class and to customize lesson planning.
