What makes great pedagogy
Scaffolding learning
discusses the shift in educational theories from Piagetian ideas to constructivism theories. It highlights the importance of scaffolding, which supports students in their learning. Scaffolding can be intellectual, social or motivational
while constructivism theories are prevelant in research, many teachers have limited exposure to them. effective scaffolding involves problem-solving and process-oriented learning
teachers play a critical role in scaffolding, either leading or facilitating it. Technology can also support scaffolding but is underutilized for higher-order thinking in classrooms
7 Higher order thinking and metacognitio, dialogue and questioning
This passage emphasizes the crucial role of language in effective teaching and learning. It discusses the evolution of research, from early critiques of "transmission teaching" to the importance of well-structured pupil talk.
The passage also highlights extensive research on classroom questioning, where a balance of higher and lower-order questions is found to be effective. The concept of "dialogic teaching" is introduced, focusing on disciplined talk to stimulate thinking and enhance learning across the curriculum.
Diverse range of learners
The framework for the national curriculum in England highlighted a significant difference in how high-performing education systems approach pupil progression and differentiation. Instead of categorizing students by ability or attainment, they encourage all pupils to achieve adequate understanding before moving on, focusing on the power of effort rather than innate ability.
Longer term learning
This point discusses the importance of effective pedagogy in education. It emphasizes that while the quality of individual lesson is crucial, it does not guarantee effective pedagogy as a whole. The focus in on the need for overaching vision of what a student should know and be able to do throughout their education.
.It mentions medium- term planning, wich involves linking individual lesson into a broader leraning plan with predefined learning objectives. It also highlights the significance of progression and the connection between short-term cognitive outcomes and long-term educational goals
Effective pedagogy aims to provide coherence and ensure continuous progress in learning
Behaviour, understanding, knowledge, beliefs
This talks about the concept of pedagogy in English education. It notes the historical lack of a clear teaching science in England compared to continental Europe. Despite some policy initiatives, there remains a debate about absence of a well-defined pedagogical framework.
Pedagogy is seen as encompassing not just teaching methods but also broader ideas, values and evidence related to education
This effective teaching requires a combination of subject knowledge, pedagogical approaches, and understanding of children´s development.
Techniques whole class and individual activities
emphasizes that there are no "magic bullet" classroom strategies in pedagogy. While some teaching approaches are considered effective, success depends on how well they are implemented. Effective pedagogy combines various strategies thoughtfully deployed by teachers, and it's not the strategies themselves but how they are used that makes a difference
Consideration to pupil voice
This passage talks about the importance of taing student inpunt seriously in education. It goes beyond just listening and emphasizes houw consulting students a¿can lead to postive changes in schools, improve teacher understanding, and provide valuable insights. It stresses the need to consider all student perspecrives, even those of minority groups or students with diverse communication methods
Engaging with srudent input can be challenging for educators, but it can lead to better educational outcomes. Genuine student consultation, emphasazing that it should be done properly and not just token gesture to be effective in improving teaching and learning practices
Learning and experience
This highlights the importanvce of understanding how young people think and lear when depeloping effective teaching methods. It mentions the shift from pPiaget's focus on child interaction with the environment to Vygotsky's emphasis on language and soacil interaction in learning.
It stresses the need to consider students prior knowledge and expierences in teaching, as ignoring them can hinder future learning, specially in subjects like math and science.
It also mentions the signifance of real- world contexts and collaborative learning in effective pegagogy
Embed assesment for learning
Formative assessment, particularly when it involves effective feedback, has been shown through extensive research to significantly enhance student achievement. Various reviews of educational studies have emphasized the positive impact of well-implemented formative assessment on learners. The key to successful formative assessment is the collection and utilization of evidence about student achievement to inform instructional decisions. Hattie's research underscores the importance of feedback, highlighting that high-quality feedback has the greatest influence on learning outcomes.
Setting challenging goals, comparing performance to criteria, and fostering self-regulation are also key components of effective assessment for learning. In summary, formative assessment and constructive feedback are powerful tools for improving student achievement and self-regulation in education.
