Pedagogic strategy

Under construction

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.
