The document discusses the role of the teacher according to John Dewey. It states that teachers should facilitate a classroom environment that allows students to help create their own knowledge, rather than the teacher acting as an external boss. It also says that teachers should be democratically aware of students' capacities and experiences, and allow student suggestions to develop into plans and projects organized by the group. The teacher's role is to serve as a guide for student investigations and lead students into educational liberty as democratic leaders and pioneers.
