In this short series (on what I will call 'narrative pedagogy'*) I'm exploring some of the storytelling techniques that can be adapted for use in education. They have to draw on their expertise, prior knowledge and. Unconscious knowledge can be drawn upon to solve most problems no matter how ill-structured they might be.

Content is still king in their minds, and everything relies on their knowledge, and the ' delivery ' of learning. A new pedagogy is required, but perhaps they aren't listening. Perhaps they still see it as a poor substitute, or a second rate method of teaching. Unported License. Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e's.

The disruption this created was largely due to lack of knowledge and skills, along with raised expectations about what was required. The question is over what teachers need, in terms of knowledge, skills and disposition, to be able to make a success of such a radical change in pedagogy. What do online educators need?

One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. Engaging students there requires activities, dialogue, and most importantly, applied focus on developing skills, gaining knowledge and improving understanding. How do you do this? How are you engaging your learners?

This is a simple principle of pedagogy known as constructive alignment (Biggs and Tang, 2011) where we start with outcomes that students need to achieve, support these with appropriate pedagogy, and then assess accordingly (Biggs, 2014).

By contrast, process based learning does not require an individual to achieve any set standard or level of skill or knowledge, but is a way of creating environments, opportunities and motivations for people to learn more, and to optimise their learning. Learning is more than mere acquisition of knowledge, or being filled with facts.

It's safe to claim that much of higher education is firmly rooted in the past , reflecting colonial history, traditional values and 20th (or even 19th) Century pedagogies. This might be seen as a generalisation, because there are some pockets of innovative pedagogy to be found in every large education institution. Unported License.

For education people, learning doesn't stop even though all around, social life, commerce, business, mortgage payments, air travel and other common practices have ground to a halt. No, learning continues, and so does the need to provide great educational environments within which children can continue to develop their knowledge and skills.

It perpetuates the idea that the teacher (lecturer) is at the front of the room, and all attention is there, because that is where the knowledge, and therefore the learning is located. It should behove every university to continue to make changes to improve pedagogy. We teach in the same way we ourselves were taught, it is said.

This is assessment for learning (AfL) rather than assessment of learning, and it''s critical for good pedagogy.

Pedagogy in the best sense of the word is where knowledgeable others such as teachers and experts provide the guidance and support for good learning to be optimised. Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. This is what schools in the idealistic sense should be modelled upon.

Thirdly, teachers need time to tinker, experiment and test out new ideas and new pedagogies.

In many ways, heutagogy is aligned to other digital age theories, in that it places an importance on ‘learning to learn’, and the sharing rather than hoarding of that knowledge. It is not difficult to see that such sharing of knowledge can be easily achieved through social media and the use of personal digital technologies. Delfino, M.,

Every course or training initiative has at least one of two goals: to bridge knowledge gaps , and/or to transform the learner’s behavior. This level seeks to evaluate whether your learners acquired the information, skills, and knowledge they were expecting to obtain. Is the new knowledge used in their every-day work environment?
