Pedagogy (pronounced /'ped?g?d?i, 'ped?g??d?i, or 'ped?go?d?i/[1][2]) is the study of being a teacher. The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction. [3]Pedagogy is also sometimes referred to as the correct use of teaching strategies (see instructional theory). For example, Paulo Freire referred to his method of teaching adults as "critical pedagogy". In correlation with those teaching strategies the instructor's own philosophical beliefs of teaching are harbored and governed by the pupil's background knowledge and experiences, personal situations, and environment, as well as learning goals set by the student and teacher. One example would be the Socratic schools of thought.[4] The word comes from the Greek pa?da????? (paidagogeo); in which pa?d (paíd) means "child" and ??? (ágo) means "lead"; so it literally means "to lead the child". In Ancient Greece, pa?da????? was (usually) a slave who supervised the education of his master’s son (girls were not publicly educated). This involved taking him to school (d?das?a?e???) or a gym (??µ??s???), looking after him and carrying his equipment (e.g. musical instruments).[5] The Latin-derived word for pedagogy education, is in modern times used in the English-speaking world to refer to the whole context of instruction, learning, and the actual operations involved therein, although both words have roughly the same original meaning. In the English-speaking world the term pedagogy refers to the science or theory of educating; trainee teachers learn their subject and also the pedagogy appropriate for teaching that subject.[6] The introduction of information technology into schools has necessitated changes in pedagogy; teachers are adopting new methods of teaching facilitated by the new technology. The late Malcolm Knowles reasoned that the term andragogy is more pertinent when discussing adult learning and teaching. He referred to andragogy as the art and science of teaching adults.

7. Mechanics of experiential education in K12
July 21, 2009
Today, competent and competitive businesses don’t succeed using ideas or technology from yesterday. K12 schools are no different. The makeup of classrooms varies considerably from the past: students are digital, a growing number express restless behaviors, and class sizes swell as schools struggle with shrinking budgets. Experiential education, as I used it teaching high school science, is an excellent method to combat lethargic learning behaviors and support students in building critical thinking skills, i.e., lifelong learner habits.

The idealistic basis of Bauhaus was a socially orientated program: ?- an artist must be conscious of his social responsibility to the community, ?- on the other hand, the community has to accept the artist and support him.

12. Students: How To Write A Research Paper
March 16, 2008
I have had the privilege of being a teacher for almost three decades, and involved in pedagogy for more than 36 years. During those years I have taught younger students, teens, preparatory academy and most recently college and university aged students.

As my classes focused on older students, making the gradual change from young to older, I noticed a constant that each age group of students became overwhelmed by: how to write a research paper.
