Neutrosophic Cognitive Impact Study on Role Transformation of Teachers to Facilitators

Abstract

The field of education is witnessing paradigm changes, especially with reference to characterization of teachers and their roles. The inception of digital learning portals has widened the information sources of the learners and masked the belief of teachers as the only pool of knowledge. The mutating pedagogies have defined teacher as a facilitator in a learning environment. This chapter investigates on the impacts caused by the transformation of a teacher's role to a facilitator in the intra- and inter- personal dimensions of teachers and also on the classroom environment. This research work also investigates the consequences of teachers adapting to new roles and the immediate impacts on the learners of various kinds. A mathematical model is formulated using neutrosophic cognitive maps to profoundly explore the impacts of role transformation. The consequential impacts analysed using neutrosophic representations are more promising in comparison with other kinds of demonstrations.
