PBL and the role (position) of the teacher in the classroom
Is the teacher left without a leading role in PBL classroom?
I have been thinking about this for sometime already.This is because some of my colleagues at the University are worried that the student-centred approach diminishes the role of the teacher. Is this right? While encouraging the student-centred approach are we changing the role of the teacher? What is the function of the teacher in PBL? Does this mean that an autonomous learner will not need a teacher at all?
I am sure this is not the case. Having read the material about WebQuests and PBL this week, it has become absolutely clear that the teacher will still be crucial in the classroom. However, the quality of teaching acquires a new dimension: from being a director of the class the teacher will be transformed into the moderator. This means opening new prospects of creativity in front of the teacher.
Dear Manana.
ReplyDeleteReading your week reflection this Saturday morning I thought that your concern about our role in PBL or the learner-centered approach is of great importance for us.
There is no doubt that we are still the main characters in this play, what changes is our performance. The way we do it is different:
no authoritarian styles are allowed today, but persuasive. Not even a "unique" manner to do things, bot many ways to find solutions for better learning.
I believe that we have to work harder, read more, master what we teach and how we teach. This is the big challenge!
