Abstract
The rapid integration of technology in education has transformed the traditional
role of teachers, particularly in blended learning environments. This article explores
the evolving role of teachers from instructors to facilitators in blended learning settings.
By examining key methodological aspects, this study highlights the importance of
adaptability, engagement, and collaborative learning. The findings indicate that as
teachers transition to facilitators, they enhance student autonomy and foster a more
interactive learning environment. This paper provides insights for educators and
institutions aiming to optimize blended learning experiences.
