What is a Mediator?

A mediator is responsible for modifying stimuli based on their frequency, sequence, intensity, and context to facilitate learning.

Characteristics of a Mediator:

1. They possess a strong belief that "it can be done" and that "failure is not an option," which encourages them to promote systematic work and maximum effort.
2. They reflect on and actively seek strategies or tools to achieve their goals.
3. They consistently foster a positive attitude.
4. They recognize that mistakes are an integral part of the learning process.
5. They demonstrate patience, understanding that learning processes take time.
6. They compare expected progress to actual performance, identifying areas for improvement.
7. They manage their own emotions, balancing warmth and demands. It’s essential to set expectations without overwhelm, allowing for growth. An example of this is when you tie a guide to a vine: the ties should be firm enough not to let it fall but not so tight as to dry out the plant.
