The trainer/teacher/lecturer provides the optimal frame for individual’s learning, giving necessary input and “correcting” the issue/content according to the learners’ learning needs. The trainer is responsible not only for the learning process, but also for the content itself. |
The facilitator ensures that the group and individuals work together on achieving the goals set out for the content. The responsibility for the content and the actual results rests with the learners. The facilitator is responsible for the process and steers it through (open) questions. |
The distinction between the two roles shown above may be new for many learners or learners in this learning programme. Some of these learners may even be “old hands” at teaching, training or lecturing at school or university level.
