 Student centered approach is an approach in which students are required to be active, critical, and independent in the learning process for students at the center of the learning process, while the teacher only as a companion and guide. There are some advantages and disadvantages of this learning process approach. Its advantages are :

2.  Passive students will feel depressed because of the subject matter
   will continue to grow while there is no repetition of material

Learning process as above was often known by the student centered learning. While the teacher centered learning approach is an approach that is based on the view that the teacher as a teacher is to instill in students the knowledge and skills (Smith, in Sanjaya, 2008: 96). Teacher as the center of teaching and learning is no longer a student as student centered learning. Teachers will be responsible for all materials and the learning process.
