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.
