I've taken the test & I understand what's being said. I fall mostly under the student-centered approach (as I'm assuming most did). The prompts seemed loaded to favor that category. My gut tells me a mixture must be reality. I teach mainly high school seniors whose ambition is not to continue education in a typical 4-year setting. Right, wrong or indifferent, motivation levels are inherently lower in the courses I teach (or maybe it's really me & I need to get out of teaching...but I don't think so). An entirely learner-centered approach works well when you have students who are willing to put in the effort to learn; if, however, you are begging kids to do ANYTHING, learner-centered approaches yield frustration.
