Abstract In the field of pedagogical practices, two aspects have been studied with great interest. Educators have long been researching how to make classroom delivery effective in the 21st century. In this context, the difference between LCT and TCT has been studied for the long time. Some scholars have emphasized on TCT while many other scholars educators have emphasized on LCT. TCT is a very old and prevalent teaching and learning method. This method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Due to this reason this method is still prevalent today and many classrooms are being used unhindered. But philosophers such as Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Froebel, and Dewy have criticized TCT and advocated for LCT. Now, it is important to be clear about the difference between LCT and TCT. This study also attempts to clarify the differences between the two teaching methods. This article is prepared on the basis of in-depth study of various articles, research reports, books, various levels theses, etc. published in different literatures over the past few years, as well as my own long teaching-learning experience. In the present article, topic such as: learning theories: from teacher-centered to learner-centered; TCT-characteristics; teacher-centered classrooms, teacher-centered pedagogy; LCT-characteristics, learner-centered classrooms, learner-centered pedagogy and comparison and contrast between TCT and LCT have been analyzed and described from the different perspectives.
