Abstract

Education in elementary school in Kosovo, the last two decades are in a process of profound change and

complex.

While teachers are still an authority figure in a student-centered teaching model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process.

The primary role of  teacher’s is to coach and facilitate student learning and overall comprehension of material, and to measure student learning through both formal and informal forms of assessment, like group projects, student portfolios, and class participation. In the student-centered classroom, teaching and assessment are connected because student learning is continuously measured during teacher instruction.

Main objective of this study is investigation  of teaching metods, with pupils in center. The investigation is realized in two municipality(Gjilan and Kamenica), and in one village(Hogosht, Kamenicë).

In  this research participated 50 teachers, in which case through the questionnaire we physically received answers regarding the teaching methods with pupils in center.

The questionnaire was anonymous in order to obtain the most accurate data and results.

Based on these we have found that teachers do not always use methods with the student

at the center and that these methods have a major impact on student learning
