• A. Author and evaluator
• B. Guide and facilitator
• C. Disciplinarian and corrector
• D. Textbook instructor

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Guide and facilitator

• NCF 2005 redefines the role of a teacher from being a knowledge giver or strict authority figure to a guide and facilitator of learning.

  • Teachers are expected to encourage curiosity, support students in discovering knowledge on their own, and create a classroom environment where students feel safe to express ideas and ask questions.

  • This approach helps develop critical thinking, creativity, and confidence in learners.

  • The focus shifts from delivering lectures to supporting learning processes tailored to students' needs and pace.
