**Student-Centered and Active Learning Activities of 12th Cohort Nursing Students**

Battambang Institute of Nursing Sciences continues to enhance the quality of teaching and learning through a Student-Centered Approach and Active Learning, encouraging students to take an active role in the learning process.
During this activity, 12th Cohort Nursing Students participated in group discussions, information gathering, note-taking, analysis, and collaborative problem-solving based on assigned learning topics.
Through group work, students had the opportunity to exchange ideas, listen to different perspectives, ask questions, and work together to find solutions. This approach allows students to go beyond simply receiving information from instructors by encouraging them to explore, think, and learn independently.
Following the group discussions, students presented the results of their work in front of the class. These presentations helped strengthen their ability to organize ideas, communicate clearly, explain information, and build confidence in public speaking.
The Active Learning approach also supports the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork, and personal responsibility for learning.
For nursing education in particular, these skills are essential in preparing students to analyze situations, collaborate effectively with others, and respond to challenges in future healthcare environments.
This student-centered approach also supports the principles of Competency-Based Education, which focuses not only on knowledge, but also on practical skills, communication, critical thinking, and the overall competencies students need for professional practice.
Battambang Institute of Nursing Sciences remains committed to creating a learning environment that encourages students to think independently, ask questions, participate in discussions, share ideas, and build strong academic and professional foundations for their future careers.
Learn through participation — think independently — collaborate as a team — and build the competencies needed for the future.
