Description

Understanding Pedagogy: Developing a Critical Approach to Teaching and Learning This book offers a holistic examination of pedagogy, exploring its complex concept and its impact on teaching and learning. It considers pedagogy as a multifaceted concept that encompasses not only teaching approaches and pupil-teacher relationships, but also educational theory, personal learning styles, assessment, and relationships outside the classroom. The authors challenge student and practising teachers to reappraise their understanding and practice by linking theory and practice. Key issues explored include the importance of understanding learning styles profiles, the application of cognitive neuroscience to teaching, personalised learning, assessment and feedback, and critical reflection. By making explicit the integration of theory and practice, the authors provide a framework for improving learning outcomes. This book is essential reading for those involved in teaching and learning, including student and practising teachers, and those on Education Studies courses.
