4 New Paradigms
for Pedagogy
1- Pedagogy
Pedagogy is a child-focused teaching approach.
It is the art and science of helping kids learn.
It is
the discipline that deals with the theory and
practice of education;
it thus concerns the study
and practice of how best to teach.
Its aims
range from the general (full development of
the human being via liberal
education) to the narrower
specifics of vocational education (the
imparting and
acquisition of specific skills).
It is the method and practice of teaching, especially as
an academic subject or theoretical concept: the
relationship between applied linguistics and language
pedagogy.
With pedagogy, the learner is a dependent
personality.
The teacher
determines what, when and how anything
is learned. The learner gas few
resources.
The teacher devises transmission techniques to store
knowledge in the learner's heart.
Learning is subject centered focused on prescribed
curriculum and planned sequences according to the
length of the subject matter.
The
reason for learning is to learn in order to advance
to the next stage.
Motivation comes from parents,
teachers and the sense of competition. The teacher
designs the learning process and imposesmaterial.
This
process focuses on using senses to observe to
collect data and find the
solution.
It uses practical learning, applicability and experiencing.
Understanding is the knowledge production context.
The cognition level
is the cognitive level.
The education sector is at primary and middle
schools.
2-Andragogy:
Andragogy is an adult-focused teaching approach.
It is a self-directed learning. It is the art and science of
helping adults learn. It is
the discipline that deals with
teaching and learning through
negotiation, self-dialoguing,
self exploration, argument and studying
the problem to
find solutions for it. The learner watches, observes and
asks (Why is this? and why is that?).
Through andragogy, learning is
centered around both the
teacher and learner. The education process
is set up on
the basis of a kind of co-operation between the teacher
and
the learner. This process focuses on analysis,
synthesis and
evaluation.
Dialoguing with one's self and dialoguing with others
are necessary. Brainstorming
is basic to teach learners
critical thinking. Brainstorming happens
when the
teacher asks questions to enable learners to generate
ideas.
Generating ideas form a mind map.
The brainstorming questions use the following question
words:( What,
Where, When, Why, How, Who ? ).
Negotiation is the knowledge
production context.
The cognition level is the meta-cognitive level.
The education sector is for adults at high schools.
Adults are independent. They strive for
autonomy
and self-direction in learning. Adults use their own
and
others' experiences. Adults learn when they
experience a need to know
or to perform more
effectively.
Adult learning is task or problem
centered. Motivation
stems from internal sources, the increasing self
esteem,
confidence and recognition that come from successful
performance.
The role of the teacher is an enabler, facilitator,
creator
of collaboration, respect and openness. I t is one loop
learning as it starts with the problem, passes by the
action and ends with the outcomes.
3-Heutagogy:
Heutagogy is a Self-Determined Learning.
It is the discipline that deals with teaching and learning
through researching and navigation. The education
process is set up on the basis of the independent
learning.
The learner watches, observes and asks
(Why isn't this? and why isn't that?).
This process focuses on :
evaluation, imagination, creation and innovation.
Creation or innovation is the knowledge production
context. The cognition level is the epistemic level.
The education sector is for post graduate learners at
the universities to
get a higher Diploma degree, a
Master degree or a Doctoral degree. There
are three
different types of quantitative research question.
Researching questions include the exploratory questions,
base rate
questions, solution-focused questions,
descriptive questions,
observational questions,
comparative or relational questions and casual
questions
that deal with cause and effect questions.
Thew locus of
control is the learner. Learners are
independent. They identify the
potential to learn
from novel experiences as a matter of course.
They
are able to manage their own learning.
The teacher provides some
resources but the learner
decides the path by negotiating the learning.
To talk
about the reason for learning, I can say that learning
is not
necessary planned or linear.
Learning is not necessary based on need but
on the
identification of the potential to learn in novel solutions.
To
talk about the focus of learning, learners can go
beyond problem
solving by enabling pro-activity.
4-Synergogy
It is defined as a “systematic approach to learning in
which the members of small teams
learn from one
another through structured interactions” .
The
Cooperative learning that will focus on the learning
and the problem
solving by using the group activities
and joint projects. It has shown to be active for most
part of the educational level.
"With adult, it is common to use the synergy because
the adults retain more information when this method is
used than using
other methods. "
Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs,
experiences and
feelings, and making specific
interventions to help them learn particular things.
Interventions
commonly take the form of questioning,
listening, giving information,
explaining some
phenomenon, demonstrating a skill or process, testing
understanding and capacity, and facilitating learning
activities (such
as note taking, discussion, assignment
writing, simulations and practice).
Teaching is the job of the teacher. The teacher is asked
to enable his
learners to listen, speak, dialogue,
communicate, interact,
participate, read, write, apply,
think, pair, share, analyze,
synthesize, evaluate,
imagine,research, discover, explore, and solve a
problem. There are many reasons why
teaching is an
increasingly popular choice of career for a wide range
of
skilled and talented people. Teaching is a rewarding
profession in more ways than one, offering fantastic
career prospects and development
opportunities in
addition to competitive financial benefits.
