Pedagogic strategy

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

DSchneider 21:58, 2 May 2006 (MEST) is unhappy about this concept. Maybe we should factor out pedagogic methods and just clarify the difference between instructional design models, pedagogical theory and strategies ...

Definition

Pedagogic Strategies can be defined at 2 levels:

1. General instructional designs
2. Pedagogic methods that are part of general designs

Effective course designs (or teachers) use a whole array of different teaching strategies or methods.

Major Schools of Instructional Designs

(uncomplete, just some internal links, should this be moved to pedagogical theory or even educational theory ?)

• Constructionism
• Constructivism
• Inquiry-based learning
• Objectivism
• Problem-based learning
• Project-based learning
• Situated learning
• Socio-constructivism

Note, that these concepts also may represent learning theories. There is an overlap between theories that explain how people learn and how one could bring people to learn. This is particularly true regarding larger families of thought like constructivism.

Typologies of pedagogic methods

There exist several kinds of attemps to create typologies. Some are easier to undestand than others.

Khan's (2000) list of methods and strategies focusses on 20 major "natural types" that he develops under the header "pedagogical" in his eight-components framework for e-leanirng:

1. Presentation
2. Exhibits
3. Demonstration
4. Drill and Practice
5. Tutorials
6. Games
7. Story Telling
8. Simulations
9. Role-playing
10. Discussion
11. Interaction
12. Modeling
13. Facilitation
14. Collaboration
15. Debate
16. Field Trips
17. Apprenticeship
18. Case Studies
19. Generative Development
20. Motivation

Here we have a typology from a seminar on teaching methods in public management.
