EDUC 550: June 13 Pedagogy: The Art of Teaching http://www.npr.org/2013/06/12/190743651/bob-dylans-tribute-to-medgar-evers-took-on-the-big-picture
Major thinkers on pedagogy: • Loughran – “Pedagogy is understood as being embedded in the relationship between teaching and learning.” (2010) • Freire – “One cannot expect positive results from an educational … program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people.” (1972) • Bloom – “Education must be increasingly concerned about the fullest development of all children and youth, and it will be the responsibility of the schools to seek learning conditions which will enable each individual to reach the highest level of learning possible.” (1985)
Humanistic Literacy • A person is literate when they become politicized. They are able to manipulate language to assert a self-identity. • Based on the work of Paulo Freire (and Marx) “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” 1968
Bloom’s taxonomy explaining Bloom's Taxonomy
Critical Media Pedagogy • Students learn to deconstruct media messages
Pedagogical Framework • How do people learn? • Based on previous conceptions • Understanding requires facts and conceptual framework • Learning is produced by meta-cognition So, activating prior knowledge and clearing up any misconceptions is key to successful teaching.
Backwards Design • Wiggins & McTighee – start with goals, and work backward when designing a lesson plan. • Ex.: Upon completion of this lesson, 9th grade world history students will demonstrate an understanding of the different viewpoints of the Cold War.
Historical Thinking • Sam Wineburg – make students detectives, in search of clues to answer one essential (or investigative) question • Ex., Why did the United States Congress reject the League of Nations in 1919?
