We know that the teacher is people who teach the students and the instructor is people who give the instruction. But, we can decide the teacher and an instructor like that. And we should know about the relation between the teacher and the instructor. I’m not saying what’s better, but we should know about the differences about the teacher and instructor. Sometimes, we think that teacher and the instructor are the same because teacher also doing the same thing like the instructor that is an explanation about material.
I think the teacher as an instructor is also as an instructor because teacher gives the explanation to their students and do effort to give an understanding to their students. But we must still remember that teacher as an instructor in not only gives the explanation to their students, but also make some activities that can construct his/her mind about the instruction of material.
The word “instructor” is very basic. They teach, and then go away until the next class and that’s it.
But “teacher” as an instructor show a deeper relationship and deeper connection about the material and students understanding. But students still can be more active to think and give the opinion on the discussion or something like that. The instructor is about the teacher who gives the explanation or teaches the students about the material. An instructor will not give the chance to the students to be more
active in the class.
The instructor has a different with the teacher. An instructor will be teacher centered. The students can’t improve their thinking about thinking because the instructor is center of learning, not the students. I think, learning with “teacher” as an instructor can be more effective than learning with an “instructor”.
How about your opinion about that? Do you agree with teacher as an instructor?
Don’t be hesitate to give some comments about that, okay.. thank you 🙂
Nice posting…
sometimes we need instructions in classroom…
So teacher sometimes as instructor in guided discovery learning…
yes, i agree with you anggi..
sometimes we need instructions in the classroom. not only instruction from the teacher, but also from the students. So that the teacher and students can collaborate in the learning system. 🙂
This a good post… Before I confused with the teacher as an instructor, and now I little understand about it. That The teacher as instructor show a deeper relationship and deeper connection about the material and students understanding. But students still can be more active to think and give the opinion on the discussion. I hope I can became Teacher like that. Thanks
actually, i also try to think about the teacher as an instructor from the comments in my posting before.
I try to give the different between the teacher as an instructor and a pure instructor.
thank you asih for your comment 🙂
hai vani…
this interesting post, but if you study it deeper it will be more interesting.
sometimes we forget who we are, it can make our students have other perception about us as a teacher.
they do not think that a teacher is not an instructor but as a man-door.
we have to realize who we are and our duty…
:):):)
hmm.. what’s your mean about teacher as a man-door?
anyway, thanks for your comment, arifin 🙂
Good posting vani. I really like. Mathematics make the people open her/his mind. As inspiring teacher, we must be able to be a teacher as an instruction. So, starting from last year we leave our family to reach a good information and experience to be a good teacher. Happy Learning!
yes, i agree with you eki..
as a good teacher and inspiring teacher. we must be able to be a teacher as am instructor. Sometimes we meet the students who can’t be improve their thinking in his/herself. So, the teacher must be as an instructor for guide the students in the learning system. We must remember that teacher still challenge students higher order thinking
thanks for your comment eki 🙂
definitely..teachers must defy his/her students regarding with their thinking skills….
I agree with you if teacher as an instructor. So that the student have better understanding in learning. Actually I understand what you want to said through your writing but I have some questions for you,
What do you mean with instructor will be teacher centered? What do you mean with instructor in this case?
🙂
Instructor will be teacher centered because the instructor give some instruction or explanation about material or something to their students. A pure instructor is different with teacher as an instructor. But Teacher as an instructor not only give an explanation about the material, but also give the chance to their students to active in the class, give opinion in the discussion or something, and improve their higher order thinking. In this case, i related the teacher as an instructor with the teacher as a facilitator. So that learning system is not teacher centered. It is different with a pure instructor who only give instruction, explanation or something.
I’m sorry if my explanation not answer your question. and thank you for your comment 🙂
hi vaniuno,,
A teacher and an instructor, emm yeah may be they can be the one, teacher as an instructor…
but back to the meaning of each professions. It’s depends on the situations and necessity, isn’t it??
thank you 🙂
yes, i agree with you aida..
It’s depends on the situations and necessity. The effective learning can be improve in the class if teacher and students can collaborate. Because the instruction or explanation not only from the teacher, but also students can contribute to give the opinion and thinking about the problems that teacher given.
🙂
Goooood article!!!! I agree with u, Uno, that instructor different with teacher …. which one we’ll choose?
thank you sufy 🙂
hmm.. maybe i choose teacher as an instruction. Because the teacher not only give the instruction, but also give some stimulus to the students that can make students will be more active in the class and can be improve their higher order thinking.
And how about you sufy?
🙂
Waa, your posting is good.. I extremely agree with you.. it will be better if teacher as an instructor can give clear explanation about the instruction..
So, how about you as a prospective math teacher in the future?
Is there any tips to give the instruction clearly?
Note:
Please visit my blog yaa Riitariitahe.wordpress.com ^0^
hmm..
I think as a prospective math teacher:
– i will introduce my students to the new material with give explanation and review the previous lesson that students receive..
– i will give short presentation for give the information for my students to prevent loading students memory. Give an explanation about material that related to real life problems, so that students can understanding the material easier 🙂
– I will ask series of question to the students to check students understanding and give additional question to integrate students new and prior knowledge. Also give students a chance to be more active in class, like in the group discussion or something like that.
I think that can give the instruction clearly.. sorry if i still not answer your question.. we can discuss it later 🙂
thank you rita.. ^^
great article vani.. ^^
it shows the BIG differences between teacher as an instructor and ‘pure’ instructor..
but nowadays, i think teacher still do the same as a ‘pure’ instructor; not teacher as an instructor..
from example, i took from my experience in my college..
my lecturers (but not all lecturers) still same with an instructor, they only gave explanation about the material of the lesson, even they still read from the book..
it makes me very bored.. (-.-)’
but now, they are studying again to reach 1 step higher from they used to..
i hope, they will come back with a better experiences of how to teach their students in great way.
so, in my conclusion, i think the teacher still needs to study again and join any kinds of seminar which discuss how the teacher could be a great instructor NOT just an instuctor..
strongly agree with you, ko ^^
also in my experience, i met the teacher that only give any explanation about material, not improve students higher order thinking.
I agree with your opinion about the teacher needs to study again about how the teacher give instruction or explanation but not to be teacher centered, it should be students centered learning. So that the students can improve their knowledge and higher order thinking. 🙂
thank you 😀
yeah..i think you are right..even though they are teachers,,it is necessary to have a strong foundation of learning skills so that they can promote better learners…not a feeble minded one…
but,,in a situational stuff…teachers are necessary to have a strong foundation in education….they are multi tasking individual whom attests the learning process and embolden every individual to become a successful one… excellency and life long learners should produce in each school…right?… you commentators were right but one thing that i should’ve said is all teachers are teach for a purpose..
