pedagogy

Pedagogy refers to the methods and instructional tools used by teachers in educating students. It pertains to the entire spectrum of educational styles from urban education and coping with the needs of poverty and violence to special education and the education of children with needs and gifted students.

Pedagogical styles, then, will vary as student needs vary. The more intense student needs are, the more tool teachers will need in order to facilitate their education. Some of these tools pertain to how lessons are administered, the use of technology within the classroom and the role of storytelling in an educational setting.

Bloggers, especially those that are also educators, love discussing pedagogy as teachers often share differences in instructional approaches. Typically, difficulty in student achievement is reflexive of deficiencies on a teacher’s pedagogy. Thus, bloggers readily discuss pedagogy as a means of gaining the necessary tools to help their own students achieve and learn more.
