Explanation

Learner-centred methods make the teacher a facilitator who guides rather than dictates, so all four statements describe them.

Learners becoming independent learners is a core aim, as they take charge of their own progress.

Learners act as active participants in the learning process instead of passive receivers.

Learners engage in need-based activities under the teacher's supervision, matching tasks to their requirements.

The teacher's shift from source of knowledge to guide-on-the-side defines this approach.

Learner-centred education contrasts with the teacher-centred lecture method, where the teacher controls content and pace.
