Through active learning teachers can act as facilitators. He is in charge of facilitating the learning that takes place in the learners themselves, so that they gain a real and authentic learning experience. By facilitating learning, it means the teacher seeks to invite and bring all the learners who are in his class to participate. Facilitating learning is not an easy task if teachers do not have enough understanding of educational psychology and various learning theories following innovative models and methods for teaching. In the 21st century, the old ways of teaching teachers are many that have been missed and crushed progress of the times. Mastery of IT, for example be an absolute requirement that must be owned by a teacher.
The facilitation of learning means that all learners with all the uniqueness and characteristics of each should be able to be stimulated and stimulated by the teacher to follow the ongoing learning. This is important because the desire and motivation that arise from within the students or learners to learn (because of his curiosity, curiosity arises about something, the emergence of a sense of need for new information, etc.) will make them more in understanding something that are being taught in the classroom.
If the teacher wants to be a good facilitator in his class, then of course he will try to:
Have the understanding and knowledge (recognize) the strengths and weaknesses of each (each) learner who is in the class he is receiving. It is important that teachers can provide assistance, or facilities that suit their interests and needs.
Have a care for all learners who are in his class and are trying to follow his learning. Thus the teacher will try to give everything he can provide (facilitation) for the learning of learners, provide a sense of security and comfort in the classroom and make each learner develop according to its potential.
