Correct answer: (D) 1 & 4 only

Explanation

In a learner-centred teaching environment, students actively participate in their own learning and make decisions about what and how they will learn.

Active participation puts the learner at the centre of building understanding.

Deciding what and how to learn gives students genuine ownership and choice.

Being passive listeners describes a teacher-centred classroom, the opposite of learner-centred.

Treating all students as having similar abilities ignores individual differences that learner-centred teaching respects.

Learner-centred teaching draws on constructivist ideas of the learner actively constructing knowledge.
