Is student centred learning best?

Just before returning to face a new term, I thought I would reflect on why I do what I do as an educator.  Whether in the 21st century or the 1st century, some things remain constant. As a Christian educator, what draws me back into the classroom each term, why I get a warm feeling when a student says they missed me, why I get excited about completing our maths lesson that was left hanging at the end of term, is because of an age old concept -some call it mentoring. I just love the aspect of my job that draws me into a mentoring role with my students, where they know I am available for advice and guidance, to point them in a helpful direction, or in true 21st century learning lingo....to help them find their own direction... the last in that list, however, I only move towards when I am pretty confident they will end up on the right track owning a good decision.  It may seem so last century to use phrases like right track and good decision. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say the right track for them or a helpful/practical decision....but I do actually believe in a moral objective truth and also in objective truths about the physical and intellectual worlds. Encouraging students to construct and co-construct and globally collaboratively construct their own versions of truth and knowledge could possibly be somewhat reckless without a strong moral compass and without active mentorship. I believe in active questioning, I believe in students owning their learning and owning their faith should they choose to have one, but I am not sure if I believe in jumping into a pedagogical river that flows towards an entirely student centred learning experience.
