Humor:
A-) With the activity-based teaching:
The role of
the teacher in this method is the role of
the leader who leads an orchestra that plays a nice
and regular tune that wins the admiration of the
audience in a theater because of its harmony. He
starts his presentation with a
warm-up, then
he does his presentation.
The presentation
process must address the 5
senses and the inner feelings of the
learner. The
teacher uses his mouth, gestures, motion, smiles,
miming, acting, classroom management, pointing
and signals.
Can the 2 roles exchange?
1- A perfect teacher:
Neither
can teachers afford to distance themselves from
the students they teach. In the
new, learner-centered
environment, they must be prepared to learn both about
and from their students.
The belief that teacher and student should maintain
a partnership based on mutual learning dominates
thinking about pedagogical praxis to an ever-
increasing extent—from the elementary grades
to
the college years. The term "dialogue education"
has been used to
characterize this more equitable
relationship between teacher and student:
"Two way, open dialogue needs to be a part of all
learning
activities" .It has been demonstrated that
class discussion in which
students actively participate
and are encouraged to raise questions and pose
problems themselves may greatly increase critical
thinking skills in students .
2-A perfect Learner:
Just as
teachers have had to alter their own
methods and shift from being their
students’ sole
source of knowledge to one of the many sources,
students
also have had to shift from being passive
receptacles of knowledge to
active participants and
even to being teachers themselves.
Research in
the areas of teaching practices,
cooperative learning,
and technology have opened
new doors and have altered the roles and
responsibilities of students today.
