Pedagogy

to ACARA (2013), including personalised learning that incorporates student diversity, cross curriculum priorities and including general capabilities on top of traditional core subjects and addressing key features to revise curriculum content and pedagogy; traditional education saw students’ work in isolation within the four walls of a classroom, sitting at individual desks away from peers (Shaw, 2008). The course material consisted of the core subjects and as Hubbard (2015) identified…

Personal Pedagogy Introduction High school is the last tier of stepping up toward adulthood, and if the experience isn’t designed to be worthwhile, many of our youth will unfortunately fall into the category of “blank stares and lost hope.” Many students are at risk of dropping out of high school because they believe that no one actually cares to believe in them. The role of an educator is a person willing to commit to understanding the role of education in the life of adolescents. It takes a…

In A Mixed-Methods Investigation of Instructional Coaching for Teachers of Diverse Learners, Teemant (2014) researched the impact of instructional coaching on teacher pedagogy. To assess the impact of instructional coaching, the study included quantitative analysis of teacher behaviors based on the five standards of effective pedagogy as well as qualitative results obtained through interviews with teacher participants. Though quantitative results demonstrated increased teacher efficacy among…

need to share with you since my students behave no differently and the assignments have been easier. The past four weeks have been filled with simple in-class assignments acting as attendance markers. I even find myself feeling less engaged with the pedagogy process because it feels like my students do not care to learn, but rather simply receive an “easy A.” With my sections, I have discovered that regardless of how interactive I design class, the students give me the same indifferent reaction.…

The detailed summaries are indicated below. In recent years, Khon Kaen University authorities have introduced the new instructional policy, the so-called “English as a medium of instruction” or EMI.

curriculum and consider how their decisions may affect children differently in the classroom. The five principles mentioned in the Early Years Learning Framework reflect present theories and research concerning children’s learning and early childhood pedagogy. These principles support practice that is focused on assisting all the children in the child care to make progress to achieve quality learning…

various cultures within the student body of a classroom should also be taken into consideration when teaching HASS, along with learning levels, genders, and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds. In reference to Benn (2012), a constructivist teaching pedagogy of inquiry-based learning and learning by design allows for a more inclusive, supportive and respectful approach to teaching HASS. Adopting a…

chunking the lesson. From my own personal experience of having a specific learning disability, I have the ability to be more empathic towards working with students with disabilities and apply my pedagogy knowledge of evidenced-based strategies. If I didn’t apply both my experience of having a disability and pedagogy to the lesson, I would be an effective teacher candidate to the students, resulting students to not have a meaningful learning experience. I had the lesson incorporate more student…

My pedagogy classes thus have provided several different learning experiences. My most recent learning experience was a close reading assignment that was to be completed in field. However, before I completed this assignment in my field placement, I engaged in one myself in my pedagogy classroom. It was at this point that I was able to see first-hand what a close reading actually is. The purpose of a close reading is to allow the student to “develop a deep understanding of what the author is…

provided me with professional constructive feedback on my teaching prior to inspections, proved to be beneficial as it allowed me to perhaps amend my minor faults. There was a consistent flow of sharing of pedagogy, in which he suggested effective methods to me and I informed him of new pedagogies being currently promoted within the University. This level of mentoring was only possible as I felt that I was not too proud in myself to look for help and I did not take the constructive feedback…
