BEYOND TEACHING AND BANKING

Abstract

Why do some teachers still rely heavily on lecturing rather than facilitating? Today's teaching and learning demand more egalitarianism, democratization of the school and classroom culture, formative assessment; creativity, engagement, creativity, reflectivity, participation, learner-centeredness, person-centeredness, facilitation, inclusivity, autonomy,
motivation and collaboration for significant and meaningful instruction and learning. As model, the teacher is seen a person rather than as an impersonal occupant of an instructional role. Facilitation invites rethinking curriculum' with thinking, teaching/learning attitudes and conventions, practices and assumptions which have remained unquestionably slow to change.
