Is it instilling previously prooved ideas into a student's mind or to allow them room for developing some of their own? I have had both types of teachers, and i like the latter better. What is your opinion?

It is both. As much as today's students think they know it all, they don't. To develop great ideas, you need to have some perspective about what ideas have been developed in the past. You can build on those, disagree with them, tweak them, etc. But you still need to know them.

Teachers must do both. The goal of an educator is to provide the knowledge of where and how to find the information students seek.

My opinion is that you are there to help the students to start to think on their own and develop their own opinions. Telling them doesn't help when you reach the real world and you have to solve a problem yourself or make a choice. You don't have anyone there to tell you what to do.

I think its a mix of both. A great teacher must give the framework to their students, so they comprehend the ideas at the same time, they have to allow the student to expand on those ideas.
