The responsibility of learning is shared among the teacher, learner, scholarship in the field, and students' peers. While it is true that teachers should innovate their teaching, the responsibility of learning despite the lack of innovation by teachers is also borne by student(s). A student can always bring in new literature into her/his writing and challenge the stale old norms; could raise questions that advance knowledgebase. Perhaps that will also propel the instructor to take more initiative. Often the teachers are content experts but not pedagogy experts, so a little initiative and push from students can help you push the instructor.
In my opinion, the role of teachers is not the same and will never be. The huge amount of information available nowadays thanks to technology makes impossible for teachers to be the source of knowledge as before. In this context, teachers should encourage students to discover and explore. Learn to love research and learning. In this dynamics, if the teaching methods are the best or not, or the most innovative, it is not relevant. The important thing is to share the will of learning.
Experiment with different learning techniques: Explore various learning techniques and find what works best for you. Experiment with methods like active learning, visual aids, mnemonic devices, or creating concept maps. Adapt your study habits to suit your learning style and preferences.
Teaching has never kept pace with the times. The synchronization of learning with the times occurs between self-taught students who interact with futuristic mentors and external collaborative groups. Furthermore, life itself is a great teacher.
If teaching is not evolving as the learner does, it will be very difficult for him. Education now must be adaptive to the needs of every learner. It must evolve to meet the expectations of the learners, the community, and society.
I agree with Rahul Kumar that teaching is a shared responsibilty among teachers, students, peers and the scholarly community. Experimentation with different activities and modalities per Soegiarto Hartono is an excellent recommendation and should be part of a continuous process improvement plan. This question touches on motivation, which as defined by Self Determination Theory includes autonomy, mastery and relatedness. These factors can be "baked in" to the instructional design of the course to allow for students to have some control over their own learning, some interaction with others and some pursuit of mastery driven by the expertise of the instructor. The combination shares the burden (and benefit) of the teaching process among all.
