Part of the development of metacognition is to see the pedagogy being used and internalizing it. If our pedagogy is visible (as it should be), it needs to be scrutable if we want our learners to adopt appropriate skills. . However, we can also choose to use legitimate presentation techniques. I believe we should.

They’re not concerned with the pedagogy, but the planning. I don’t know if it’s true outside the US, but within you can get a free PDF copy! Wiggins & McTighe’s book is a primary argument for working backwards. Of course, it also matters what your learning goals are.

You can also be reviewed and accredited on the basis of your pedagogy, for instance your online teaching approach. This depends on the quality of the organization doing the accreditation and their processes, of course. There’s also accreditation on the quality of the educational process. There are, of course, dubious accreditations.

Yes, many institutions are creating central bodies to support faculty in improving their classes, but those folks are relatively powerless to substantially change the pedagogy unless they happen to have an eager faculty member. The more tools that make it easy to do the right thing, rich pedagogies, the better.

You could say pedagogy supersedes curricula, but that’s just being pedantic. ;) And I’m pushing the boundaries of the concept a bit, but I think it’s worth floating as an idea. While the pedagogy of one isn’t obvious (though claimed to be very practical), the other clearly touts the ways in which the learning happens.

My short (and admittedly cheeky) statement about education is that they’re wrong on two things, the curriculum and pedagogy, other than that they’re fine. The other problem is the pedagogy. Most universities aren’t doing a good job of curriculum, focusing on knowledge instead of skills.

Still, universities should be better at rejecting myths, just as they should also be better about using the best pedagogies. Ok, that’s another myth, that universities aren’t riven with politics, but not the focus here. Which they also aren’t doing, by and large ;).

Only two things wrong: the curriculum and the pedagogy, otherwise school’s fine.) Except many school practices are only useful for passing tests, not for actually solving real problems and meeting real goals. It, however, creates barriers when you’re trying to create learning that actually works.

And, I would agree, there are likely different pedagogies applied to each. However, if you want to create a ‘cheat sheet’ to accelerate performance and success, with learning goals and associated pedagogies, I won’t quibble. So her lates model discriminates between concept, process, fact, principle, etc.

In addition to yesterday’s post about pedagogy , I also mentioned the need to get deeper on curriculum as well. From each chosen ‘task’ will be a suite of activities that comprise the pre-, in-, and post-class activities, but here we are focusing on the overall curriculum before we get into the individual pedagogy.

So, using an application -based pedagogy , there are a series of activities that require application, but they vary in type: research, design, problem-solve, interact, and in output. Curriculum and the pedagogy can be refined, and in fact are interleaved. How was your research process on this interface design project?

However, nowhere was there the option of ‘a deeper pedagogy’ And that’s a problem. And, again, the big gap is talking about the pedagogy to begin with. This included AI, and personalization, and ‘out of class’ credit, and more. Which is all good, make no mistake!

He proposed that big change is coming and that the way to cope is to move to more vocational alignment and a project-based pedagogy. Brandon Hall used the proposition that changes in the US are subsequently reflected in the rest of the world to examine coming changes in Higher Ed.

Some thoughts I lobbed in another forum (lightly edited): Mark Warschauer, in his great book Learning in the Cloud (which has nothing to do with ‘the cloud’), pointed out that there are only 3 things wrong with public education: the curricula, the pedagogy, and the way they use tech; other than that they’re fine.

There’s also a different pedagogy than most conferences.We We decided that we wanted to step away from ‘what we get’, and focus on ‘what the audience needs’ This event, then, has a curriculum , across two tracks, designed to address specific needs. Of course, there are tradeoffs.

And a final one is about the overall pedagogy. And that pedagogy will very much be our choice. One is how the notion of quick small bites reflects a slower learning process. Another is how it might play out in the organization. Whereas the cumulative effect of the event model dissipates quickly, the distributed model builds slowly!

Much like I really think the problem holding back better for-profit schools is that the accreditation process isn’t informed enough about pedagogy, I think the agencies that oversee required learning don’t really focus on the right thing. The first is the regulatory aspect.

Branching scenarios are powerful approximations to this by showing consequences in context but with limited replay, and so are constructivist and problem-based learning pedagogies. For example, Socratic Arts has a powerful online pedagogy that leverages media and a constructivist pedagogy in a relatively simple framework.

I’m pushing a very activity-based pedagogy (and curriculum). Even if it’s conceptual material, I want learners to be doing this, and of course the main focus is on real contextualized practice. Yes, the tasks are designed, but they’re expected to take some responsibility for processing the information to produce outputs.

It would necessitate a change in pedagogy as well. Some thoughts recently coalesced that I thought I’d put out and see what reaction I get.

While all too representative of corporate elearning, the contrast of good pedagogy versus bad pedagogy undermines the unique affordances of the virtual world.

Yes, you absolutely need to test usability first (if there’s a problem with the learning outcomes, is it the pedagogy or the interaction?), When designing and evaluating learning experiences, you really want to go beyond whether it’s effective or easy to use, and decide whether it’s engaging. and then learning effectiveness.

This sort of grounded practice in addressing real questions in a structured manner is a great pedagogy. Admittedly they had some lack of experience, but when I think how I would’ve been able to perform at that age, I really recognized the quality of the outcome.

One other thing I’d do that I didn’t do a good job of generally (I did with a few students) was explain the pedagogy. Of course, I’ll have to see what the students say.
