Roles and Responsibilities of an instructor

The assignment on study the Roles and Responsibilities of an instructor and Comparison with
my working environment.

Instructor:
A person who provides live interactions to the learners during a learning activity which is a
part of the program. An instructor cannot work without a teacher. Either the instructor has acted
as a teacher to teach the basic pre-requisites of that activity or there has to be a separate teacher
to do that, e.g. in the case of a flight instructor.

Instructors act as experts who impart their knowledge through one-sided lectures. The role
of the learner in those classrooms is to passively listen and take notes so they can memorize and
reproduce the information on exams. This “sage on the stage” model is effective in presenting large
amounts of information. However, it does not support retention of learning and its application in
the workplace. A more effective training model shifts the emphasis from information to the
learner. In a learner-centered classroom, the instructor becomes a “guide on the side,” facilitating
active learning situations in which participants use their existing knowledge and prior experiences
to help them understand the new material. Participants engage with the content by discussing,
analyzing, and manipulating it to reconstruct it in new and personally meaningful ways. By linking
the new information to what they already know, it is easier for participants to recall and apply the
information later in a different setting.

Role and Responsibility of an Instructor

Instructor has the following important roles and responsibilities to play in the training
institute. Instructors provide teaching or training in a classroom setting or via a remote platform.
They create and follow lesson plans, choose any necessary curriculum or resource materials,
explain concepts and theories, and review assignments and examinations.

Instructors are responsible for imparting knowledge to students. They are well-versed in
different topics related to their area of teaching. They prepare lessons, create presentation
materials and other collaterals, and present these to the students. They manage the classroom and
ensure that students are attentive. Instructors are also responsible for creating ways to check the
students' knowledge retention through schoolwork and examinations. They also evaluate their
teaching style as well to further improve their skills for the next batch of students. Instructors
should be patient, creative, and well-versed in classroom management.
