Pedagogy

While exploring our current understandings of pedagogy, from the outset it is important not to confuse pedagogy with either curriculum or simply ‘teaching’; pedagogy informs both. In the context of early years of education in India, where learning through exploration, creativity and play is key construct of pedagogy.

What we find difficult are learning what others want to teach us, and managing our learning in order to achieve particular goals and outcomes. Self-determined learning involves learning how to be an effective learner, and having the confidence to manage our own learning processes. ‘Double-loop learning’ is central to this process, for double-loop learners not only work out how to solve a problem or reach a goal, but also reflect on that process as a whole, questioning assumptions and considering how to become more effective.

In the dynamic assessment process, assessment and intervention are inseparable. This approach has been used with university students, with school children learning physics, and with children who have particular learning difficulties. Although labour intensive, it has the potential to be used as part of a range of assessment tools.
