The research aims to determine the role of instructors as facilitators, mentors, communicators and motivators. Locations were determined using the deliberate method with a qualitative quantitative descriptive analysis method. The results of the study and discussion that the role of instructors as facilitators, mentors, communicators and motivators are categorized very well. The role of the instructor as a facilitator in motivating farmers in the chilli business gained a good category. The role of extension workers in Guwang Village, is included in the excellent category.
