The field of education all over the world is swept by a paradigm shift that is the result of a new awakening in the teaching- learning process. The traditional chalk and talk method can no longer enthuse the students, the colleges of education continuously strive to innovate methods that will sustain their interest and make the learning process more productive and interesting. The usual way of thinking about and doing is replaced by a new and different way. As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyse, share, discuss, critique, and create information. Student-centered mind-sets view the learner as primary and unique agents of learning, engagement, and connection, as opposed to teacher-centered mind-sets which tend to view learners as passive and uniform vessels.
