different notion of teachers as expert, facilitators and change agent

-

 Teaching can be viewed in different ways, with different approaches to what the role of the teacher should be in the learning process. These different views can be categorized as the teacher as an expert, facilitator, and change agent.


Teacher as an expert: 

In this view, the teacher is seen as the primary source of knowledge and expertise in the subject being taught. The teacher is responsible for delivering information, imparting skills, and providing clear explanations of complex concepts. The focus is on the teacher's knowledge and expertise, and the students are seen as passive recipients of this information.


Teacher as a facilitator: 

In this view, the teacher is seen as a facilitator of learning rather than the primary source of knowledge. The teacher's role is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment, provide guidance, and encourage students to take an active role in their own learning. The teacher is seen as a guide and support system for the students, helping them to understand and connect the concepts they are learning.


Teacher as a change agent:

 In this view, the teacher is seen as a catalyst for change, with the ability to shape the future and promote positive change in the lives of their students. The teacher's role is not just to impart knowledge and skills, but also to foster positive attitudes, values, and behaviors that can help students achieve their full potential and make a positive impact in their communities. The teacher is seen as someone who can inspire and empower their students to become active participants in their own learning and growth.


In conclusion, the role of the teacher can be viewed from different perspectives, each with its own strengths and limitations. The most effective teachers will likely incorporate elements of all three approaches, adapting their teaching style to best meet the needs of their students and the subject being taught.

 The Challenges of Sustainable Tourism in Nepal's Rural Areas Nepal is a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure, natural beauty, and cultural experiences.
