Teaching as a Social Process

Teaching as a Social Process (ID: ERM9932)

Abstract:

This essay proposes that two popular stereotypes of teachers, the sage and the guide, are incapable of realizing the expectations of students, parents, employers, politicians -- and teachers. These metaphors obscure the fundamental social responsibility of a teacher as an expert professional in a domain. Students look to their teachers to show them the ways of a community and offer them entries into practicing memberships in that community. In this article, Denning comments on the discussion of the changing view of the teacher role from information conveyor to facilitator and how shifting markets are affecting the teacher model.
