"We Want To See the Teacher": Constructivism and the Rage Against Expertise.
Baines, Lawrence A.; Stanley, Gregory
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n4 p327-30 Dec 2000
The teacher as a "sage on the stage" is being eclipsed by the learning facilitator, or "guide on the side." While there is room for constructivist methodologies, the rage against expertise and repetitive or rote learning practices is misguided. Students deserve a chance to learn from real experts. (MLH)
