“The teacher must adopt the role of facilitator not content provider”
— Lev Vygotsky
Simplified Meaning:
Instead of just giving information, a teacher should help students learn how to find it on their own. Think of a coach who doesn't just tell players the rules of the game, but helps them practice and discover ways to get better at playing. This way, students become more independent and capable of learning on their own. For example, instead of a history teacher simply narrating events, they could guide students in researching and understanding why those events happened. By doing this, students develop critical thinking skills and become more engaged in their learning. Applying this to our own lives, it's like when parents teach their children how to cook instead of always making food for them; the kids learn skills to take care of themselves in the future.
