The teacher as a facilitator
As a facilitator, a teacher plays a role in
providing the best service to facilitate students in the learning process
activities. Therefore, teachers need to understand various media and learning
resources and their respective functions. This understanding is very important,
because it is not necessarily a suitable media to be used to teach all learning
material. So the teacher needs to have skills in designing a learning media.
Because by designing it will facilitate the learning process. So, the teacher
already knows which media will be used in delivering the lesson. Even teachers
are also required to be able to organize various types of media and be able to
use it as a source of learning, including utilizing information technology

The development of information technology
A teacher is required to be able to follow
the latest technological developments. Through this information technology
allows teachers to choose media that is considered suitable in supporting the
learning process. Do not let a teacher stutter in using technology, because
teachers must be able to give examples to their students. In addition, a
teacher is also required to have the ability to communicate and interact with
students. Because a learning will not run smoothly if there is no interaction
between the teacher and students. Communication skills are very important to
make it easier for students to catch the message that has been conveyed so that
it can increase their motivation to learn.

Teachers as managers
As manager a teacher plays a role in
providing and creating an atmosphere or state of learning that allows students
to learn comfortably.
Through good classroom management it is
hoped that it can keep the classroom conducive to the learning process of all
students.

conditions, students will not feel comfortable in class and will get bored
quickly. In addition conducive classes can increase student motivation.

The teacher as a demonstrator
As a demonstrator a teacher must be able to
demonstrate to students everything that makes students better understand and
comprehend every message delivered. As a demonstrator means that a teacher must
possess and show commendable qualities in the aspects of life, and the teacher
is also an ideal figure as an idol that can be emulated by his students.
In addition, the teacher must be able to
show how the right way so that each lesson or thing delivered to students can
be easily understood by each student. This relates to approaches, strategies,
methods and models of learning chosen in the learning process
7.
The teacher as a guide
A teacher cannot force his students to
become "this" or become "that" because students will grow
and develop according to their abilities. Because the teacher's job is to
maintain, direct, and guide so students grow and develop according to their
respective potential. To find out the potential that exists in the students, a
thirsty teacher can understand the characteristics of each student under his
guidance.
For example, understanding students'
learning styles and habits. Thus the teacher will know where the potential
students are and what the students must be prepared for in the long run.

In the learning process, motivation is the
most important aspect which is very important. Motivation can come from
yourself or from other people. Often students who lack achievement are not caused
by lack of ability, but are caused by lack of motivation in learning.
Therefore, to obtain optimal learning results a teacher must be able to arouse
student learning motivation.
9.
The teacher as an evaluator
A teacher's role is to collect data or
information about the success of learning that has been done. Evaluation is not
only done on the end result of learning, but also on the process and ability of
students in a learning.
This evaluation aims to assess the success of
students and through evaluation also a teacher can determine whether students
who are taught already have competencies that have been determined, so that
students are entitled to new learning.
