I will begin this post with definitions: 1. Pedagogy As defined in the course material, pedagogy is the art of teaching. There are various pedagogical principles which should be used in order to engage learners and teach effectively. 2. Bloom's Cognitive Taxonomy This illustrates categorises of six major educational goals, moving from remembering through to the higher level order thinking of creating. The categories after 'remember' (or 'knowledge') are "skills and abilities" (Armstrong, 2017), as they enable the learner to utlilise the knowledge learned. A more in-depth explanation of each level, including the original and revised names of the taxonomy can be found here (click to open) at the Vanderbuilt University Centre for Teaching website. The below is taken from: Vanderbuilt University (Anderson, 2017): 3. SAMR This model designed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura in the late 1980's was designed to enable teachers to create and use "digital learning experiences that utilize technology." (Schrock, 2017), in order to bring about a higher achievement level for learners (Schrock, 2017). The four design tasks are shown in the below diagram below (Schrock, 2017): Reflection I believe that these two models will have a great impact on my pedagogy. Bloom's Taxonomy shows a progression in learning from basic to a higher level order thinking and SAMR will show me how to teach the students using technology in a relevant manner, also moving from the basic to the more complex (i.e. higher level order thinking). The aim is to achieve higher level order thinking though the use of relevant technology, that will engage the students by providing an engaging learning experience. Therefore, I would aim to design lesson plans that are at the Crate level in Bloom's Taxonomy, and at the Redefinition level in SAMR. The two models interact as shown in the following diagram (Schrock 2017): The following diagram is also very interesting and highly relevant for my pedagogy. It is Jen Robert's TECH model (2013) which seeks to move from learning that is teacher-centered to learning that is student-centred (cited in Schrock, 2017). REFERENCE LIST
