Unit 1

1.4.5.1.Facilitative teachers and learners

Facilitative teachers

• Less protective of their constructs and beliefs than other teachers,
• More able to listen to learners, especially to their feelings,
• Inclined to pay as much attention to their relationship with learners as to the content of the course,
• Apt to accept feedback, both positive and negative and to use it as constructive insight into themselves and their behaviour.

Learners

• Are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning,
• Provide much of the input for the learning which occurs through their insights and experiences,
• Are encouraged to consider that the most valuable evaluation is self-evaluation and that learning needs to focus on factors that contribute to solving significant problems or achieving significant results.
