A report on LRCs.

1. SYMPOSIUM ON
LEARNING
RESOURCE CENTER
by: Jenina Pauline Cardenas, Ph. D

2. LEARNING RESOUCE CENTER
• A Learning Resource Centre is a facility
within a school, staffed by a specialist,
containing several information sources.
• Learning centers serve as a supplemental
educational tool to complement the concepts
kids learn in the classroom.
• It is also known as the Montessori method

3. TYPES
• Literacy and math learning centers appear
most frequently in the classroom. Some
teachers use the learning center concept for
science and social students. At the preschool
level, learning centers are sometimes more
general in nature and include a mix of concepts
such as literacy, art, building, math and
science. Learning centers often include
individual activities but sometimes incorporate
small group learning.

4. PURPOSE
• Learning centers are needed whenever an
educational need is not met in a community by
other facilities (including schools). Thus, their
purpose largely is to supplement existing
institutions rather than to compete with them.
Many learning centers are founded with the
expressed purpose of fostering a sense of
community in an area, especially in poor
neighborhoods that have problems with crime and
lack of income.

5. BENEFITS
• It makes the student more entertained and
more attentive
• The students learn how to be more
independent

6. USING THE CENTERS

7. DISADVANTAGES
• It cannot be applied to grades beyond
elementary school.
• Criteria for evaluating a child's success in a
learning center are not as well-defined as a
homework assignment or a test.
• Learning centers often cost more.
