teaching with traditional teaching methods was out of date. Teaching that just sitting
in front
of the class actually be
a sign of lack of dynamism as a true
educator. It
may be that this
is just a
symbolic figure
of the
teacher and do
not represent the whole as
a whole. If so, it
seems as
though much a
teacher can create a
productive
and professional learning.
If
previously paradigm we lead
to Teacher Education Center, now
that direction has
changed slowly
but surely towards
the Student
Center.
In
the Student center approach, teaching is
not determined by
the tastes of the
teacher, but is heavily determined
by the students
themselves. what
will be
learned from
the topics
that students
should learn, how
to learn, not
only teachers but also
students that
decide.
Students have
the opportunity to learn
according to his
own style. Thus the
teacher's role changes
from a
source of learning into
a role as
a facilitator, meaning
that more
teachers as people who help
students to learn.
The
main purpose of teaching is
to empower students. Therefore, the
criteria for success of the
teaching process is
not measured
by the extent
to which students have
mastered the subject
matter, but measured
by the extent
to which students have
made the
learning process.
Thus, teachers no
longer serve only
as a source of learning but acts
as a guide
and facilitate so
that students are
willing and able to
learn students as
subjects of learning
activities.
In
the process of teaching as a process set
the environment, students
are not considered as
a passive organisms that
just as
recipients of
information, but is
seen as who active organism, who has
the potential.
