Abstract:
Student Centered Learning, a prominent term in educational arena in Europe and the West is
gaining popularity in Asia including Sri Lanka, especially in the higher education sector. Even though a
lot of discussions, workshops and training programmes are conducted through several projects on this
concept, there is no evidence for it being adopted by higher education sector in Sri Lanka. Nor are there
any evaluations of the outcomes of the approach, where the Student Centred Learning is practised at a
smaller scale. This paper arises at the backdrop of such a scenario to identify if Student Centred
Learning is practised in a Sri Lankan University called South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, and its
perceived benefits and constraints at the university.
