One way to become facilitators and examples to follow is by integrating ourselves into the group, that is, by being part of them, in this way the students stop being less passive, becoming more active.
The teacher fulfills this task as he focuses on facilitating rather than teaching. When it does, it helps each student achieve personal success.
What does this help?
❖ To integration.
❖ To participation.
Helping the class to get rich, encouraging the power to share experiences, is what leads to further development.
The facilitator must be committed to what he does so that those who are guided can make progress. Carrying out this orientation work produces learning that strengthens development in a self-sufficient way.
Learning capacities must be generated, where the methodologies in the application of the techniques can be very diverse, but the main criterion is the power for the appropriate knowledge and even the dialogue from different knowledge and realities, and that this dialogue serves for the transformation of educational practices.
