Student centered learning is an integral part of developing methods that are effective in teaching students. The students' perspectives are thouroughly studied by experts who hope to help future students learn even more.
A common approach to breaking down the students' perspectives on course work is Bloom's Taxonomy. This model breaks down the cognitive processes that teachers should try to instill in students. This modle labels the cognitive processes as remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. This helps students retain information and leads them to make creative use of the knowledge they learn.
