This article is being reproduced on Teacher’s Day observance of 2020 to motivate teachers to become facilitators of innate learning potential of their students. According to Dr Lalit Kishore[1], learning is inherent and innate – it is in humans’DNA as proved by neuro-science – which needs to be fostered and nurtured by scaffolding the cognitive skills through experiential learning among children by adults as senior co-learners.
Kishore[2] (1998) lays emphasis on processing skills and self-learning, the teacher as a facilitator of learning and senior co-learners is required to don new roles such as a learning designer, interventionist, educational engineer, contingency manager, facilitator, guide, method master, action-learner in future.
