While I have been rather quiet on here, I have been playing with various ideas, which I am sharing on Instagram (sorry not more Twitter for me, also at Mastodon)
The first idea is to share bite-sized pedagogy. I am often told how difficult it is to get a handle on all the terminology and language that comes with learning about teaching methods and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
So I figured I would create some micro-teaching tiles that sum up some of the key points of various concepts. Keeping in mind that this is extremely reductionist, but might provide someone with a quick “this is what that is about” moment.
Text in tiles just in case there is an issue with ALT text:
Critical Pedagogy
Behaviourism
Whose knowledge is it anyway?
Move over! I am controlling the environment for my learners.
1. Education is political
2. Context is key
3. Power discourse is questioned
4. Learners have agency
5. Dialogue is important
1. Dogs ring a bell?
2. Positive reinforcement is go
3. Negative reinforcement works too
4. Punishment and Contingencies
5. Motivation maybe
