Teaching theories primarily fall into two categories or “approaches” — teacher-centered and student-centered: Teacher-Centered Approach to Learning Teachers are the main authority figure in this model. Student-Centered Approach to Learning While teachers are an authority figure in this model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process.
