Summary:It is the responsibility of educational designers and educators to understand the demands of the new information age along with the need for learner-centered approaches to reform education. To date, self-esteem research has focused on traditional, teacher-focused learning environments.

Results indicate that environments with higher perceived learner-centeredness also have higher self-esteem scores. (Contains 58 references.) (GCP)
