Physics Education Research The University of Edinburgh The teacher…is there as a member of the community to select the influences which shall affect the student and to assist him in properly responding to these. Thus the teacher becomes a partner in the learning process, guiding students to independently discover meaning within the subject area. John Dewey My Pedagogic Creed, 1897
