    Abstract

    The present chapter provides conceptual clarity on four different student-centered approaches commonly found in the research literature. Inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, and case-based learning are successively discussed. Each of the instructional approaches is discussed in the light of the factors that Barrows (1986) put forward: 1) the design of the problem, project, case, question, 2) the level of student/teacher centeredness, and 3) the sequence in which information is acquired. In addition, Team-based and Challenge-based learning are briefly touched upon. Finally, directions for future research are discussed.
