The Role of Student Protagonism in Education

Student protagonism emphasizes the importance of allowing learners to take center stage in their educational journeys. This approach encourages students to become the main actors in their learning, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement in their work. Dr. Siati reflects on his own educational background in a progressive constructivist school where he and his peers were deeply involved in their learning processes, contrasting this with the current challenges faced in education that often limit student agency. By focusing on student protagonism, educators can create environments where learners are motivated to participate actively and meaningfully, rather than being passive recipients of information.
