So, firstly you ask, 'what is a pedagogy? They always seem to use this word at uni but I always forget what is means.'
Well, simply pedagogy, in my own words (and remembering from LM1) is the art of teaching; the choices you make to best cater and facilitate for your learners so they learn best.
This means not only engaging them so they learn but also learning to a high standard or expanding their own thinking. The tricky bit is getting them to think more with out them realising that they are actually using higher order thinking and therefore actually working harder for you ;).
But really, by using frameworks such as productive pedagogies or Bloom's taxonomy it makes a teachers job much easier. You just need a little bit of creativity, little bit of profiling and a few helpful strategies to make sure you tick all those higher order thinking boxes which help your students to get the most out for their learning journey with you.
