TEACHERS OF THE EARLY

GENERATIONS VS TEACHERS
ST
OF THE 21 CENTURY
• Teaching and learning is a journey in education
that we treasure most. It is not only the ‘matter’
or the ‘what to teach’ that is most important,
but the ‘manner of delivery’ or the ‘how to
teach’ plays a very important role in today’s
teaching and learning environment.
• Teacher-centered approach- was observed in the
education system, this approach seems to
weaken the aim of acquiring quality learning for
this makes the student passive learners.

• Student-centered approach- is proven

worldwide to be an effective method for the
students to have quality learning.
Channel- Teachers serve as channels in connecting the curriculum,
software,hardware and dynamics of teaching in their instruction.
Communicator- A tearcher who can communicate with their students
anytime and anywhere with the use of the tools and technologies.
Learner- Teachers never cease in learning new knowledge. Learning the
technologies of today will give the teachers a big leap in the advances
of today and tomorrow’s teaching ang learning.
Futurist- Teachers are futurist not only on what they want their
students to achieve at the end of the lesson,but on how they will
deliver the lesson with the use of the emerging tools and other web
technologies that will help the learners understand the lesson better.
Leader- Teachers are leaders in their own way by leading their students
to the proper and appropriate use of learning materials including
technologies.
Exemplar- Teachers are models when it comes to behavior, language,
dealings with colleagues and students, use of facilities, and others.
Collaborator- Collaborators not only inside the classroom, but also in
space. Teachers therefore, must pull up their collaborative tools to be
able to continue to share and contribute their knowledge to the
learners.
Venture Player- Teachers are venture players in taking chances to apply
new knowledge, skills, practices, and technologies especially if these
will level up the the student’s understanding and learning. Students
could be more advanced than teachers when it comes to new
technologies and applications. Therefore, teachers are highly
encouraged to make themselves involve with the use of technologies
and keep themselves updated with technologies.
• To prepare the students for the demands of the tomorrow’s world,
the roles of teachers must be redefined and teachers themselves
must first posses the 21st century skills and have the power to
influence their students to learn the knowledge and skills of the 21st
century.
 STUDENTS OF THE EARLY GENERATIONS VS STUDENTS
OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Students in the earlier generations are indeed different in today’s
generation. Having technologies at their side make them more
advanced in information where they do not need to have a long
distance walk just to access information from the books in the library.
Almost all information and tools that they need are already at the palm
of their hands. They only need to access and use these technologies
rightfully and appropriately.
