dc.descriptionThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Teaching in Higher Education on 20 October 2010, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13562517.2010.491910.en_ZA
dc.description.abstractIt is widely accepted in the higher education literature that a student-centred approach is pedagogically superior to a teacher-centred approach. In this paper, we explore the notion of student-centredness as a threshold concept and the implications this might have for academic staff development. We argue that the term student-centred in the Rogerian sense implies a focus on the person of the student and is deeply resonant with Barnett's assertion that the emergent being of the student is as important as the development of skills and knowledge. To facilitate transformative learning in higher education an academic must know how to value the person of the student in the learning process. Academic staff development initiatives need to work with the person of the academic and take into account the level of personal development required for each academic to be able to facilitate this kind of learning.en_ZA
