UNDERSTANDING THE FACILITATIVE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
Concept Notes:
Quality education is achieved primarily through the effective facilitation of the
teaching-learning process. The teaching-learning process is the heart and soul
of schools. It forms the core of the “business of education.” Therefore, this
important activity must be done well if schools are to be described as
successful in achieving their goals. Students go to school not simply to absorb
information. They also have to be trained on what to do with such information
and how to apply what they learn to real-life situations. However, before
teachers can be expected to facilitate the teaching-learning process well, you
first need to help them reflect on their beliefs and attitudes about teaching and
facilitation of learning. Why did they become teachers in the first place? What
kind of teachers are they striving to become? What beliefs about students and
learning do they hold as important pillars in providing instruction? Knowing
their basic attitudes, beliefs, and practices will give you a good opportunity to
examine why they encounter certain problems in the facilitation process.
Let’s Try This!
Scenario Number 1:
Scenario Number 2:
In whose class would you rather belong – Mr. Kamulwat’s or Mrs Prinsakorn’s?
Why? Who provides students with more opportunities to really think and process
rather than just absorb information? How are their teaching approaches different?
Let us compare the two teachers. Go back to the stories and fill out the
columns of the table below. Discuss by presenting your own ideas in the given
teaching beliefs components.
