Pedagogical Principles

What are the Pedagogical Principles (defined in the Learning Materials)?

 1.Facilitating deep knowledge through higher order thinking  2. Facilitating collaborative learning in which conversations are important  3. Supporting students in knowing how they learn best  4. Planning learning that is problem-based, and situated in real life contexts  5. Is relevant to students, and connects to their background knowledge  6. Supports learning that is owned, controlled and managed by students themselves  7. Is socially supportive, engaging, and values cultural knowledges  8. Is supportive of the development of active citizenship, and strong group identity.

What do the Pedagogical Principles mean to you in common language?

Pedagogical principles, should scaffold teaching to be engaging and current to students. Tasks should prepare them for a world that is immersed in technology and have them think critically about some of the content that is out there on the internet. Students should support each other, and this environment should be fostered by the teacher.

Consider whether the Pedagogical Principles make sense to you in terms of your own experience in learning that has a) been pedagogically sound, and b) been pedagogically woeful?

I believe these principles make sense to me and my experiences. I have been provided with unique learning opportunities in safe learning environments.

Can you recognise these pedagogies in the experiences you have identified in the sound category? Elaborate.

These pedagogies are collaborative, critically thinking and creative.

Beyond this, can you identify the links between Judy Willis' knowledge of the brain and learning, Sir Ken Robinson's perspective on creativity, the needs of your contemporary learners and these pedagogical principles?

We must think of these perspectives together, what thee similarities are. These children should be given broader learning tasks and less scaffolded. They should be able to have opportunities that enable them to think outside the box.

Why is it important to engage social interaction and prior knowledge, and plan for individualised and socially supportive, valued learning?

By having collaborative learning tasks, students are more likely to be engaged in the unit. They are also ,ore likely to learn from their peers and identify where improvements must be made.

Reflect on your experiences of pedagogy as a learner. How many of these pedagogies are you familiar with?

I'm familiar with a few pedagogies, particularly, productive and the explicit teaching model.

Reflective blog 3

  The Windows PowerPoint is an excellent tool for both teachers and students. PowerPoint can be used for assisting presentations, pre recorded presentations, interactive presentations and much more. PowerPoint has a variety of tutorials available on YouTube for uses to view before using the application, however, I will discuss some settings I have used along the way.                                                   Authors Image: Power Point 2022 In the screenshot ABOVE you can see along the top of the screen that there are a variety of designs to choose from. Alternatively, if you right click the background on any slide you can change the background to a picture (like I have done). Power Point automatically provides text boxes, though you can add in extra for more customisation. In the NEXT screenshot you can see slide option up the top including ‘recor...

Reflective Blog Post 2- Visuals and Pictures in the classroom

  Using visuals such as photos, picture and diagrams; are a useful tool to engage students into having deeper thought patterns about current unit topics. Students can engage with each other and learn from peers by sharing visuals and pictures that represent items from the unit. The purpose   of this is to see others opinions and collaborate. For example, in a Health and Physical Education (HPE) unit students can draw a ‘plate’. The plate will show their average dinner meal: the portion of protein, carbohydrates, fats and vegetables. By sharing these with the teacher or fellow students, they may learn about the different eating habits and the socioeconomic factors that cause this. Teachers can use the SAMR model to propose the use of visuals and images in the classroom. As a substitution, students may draw or create a concept map using an online tool such as ‘wise mapping’ (free for all users). As augmentation, students may have to create digital posters or PowerPoints as par...

Getting the most out of technology in the classroom As a new teacher, I am constantly reminded of my need to use technology in the classroom... but what if I struggle to use technology  myself ? Everyday there are more and more technology advancements being made, and everyday, we as users are expected to know how and when to use it. Technology has a place in every classroom, but as teachers we need to know the right way to integrate it. Over the last three weeks I have been exposed to different web spaces, such as Blogger and Google Sites. Blogging is a common means to share new information, discuss passions or teach others in a user friendly way. I often use ‘food blogs’ to search for new recipes or to find baking tips and trick. Blogger is a google extension, it is easy to use and very customisable. The site allows you to choose a specific them to your blog, create a unique look and share it with as many people as you like. In particular, for me, I chose to share it with m...
