Pedagogy--Teaching and Learning Strategies

What is Pedagogy?

Pedagogy is the science and art of teaching.

Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. Some strategies are better suited to teaching certain skills and fields of knowledge than are others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles, and abilities.
