WHY SUBJECT SPECIALIST PEDAGOGY?
 
 
Having a well-thought-out pedagogy can improve the quality of your teaching and
the way students learn
Helping students gain a deeper grasp of fundamental material.
Being mindful of the way you teach can help you better understand how to help
students achieve deeper learning in your subject.
The proper approach helps students move beyond simple forms of thinking as
defined in the Bloom’s taxonomy pyramid, like basic memorization and
comprehension, to complex learning processes like analysis, evaluation, and
creation.
Students expand their knowledge base, but also understand how to use their
learnings in authentic and relevant to their real-world (subject focused) contexts.
Through your pedagogical strategies, students can also learn what approaches
work best for them: Which learning activities and learning styles they tend to
gravitate towards—and how to develop concepts and build mental models to further
their learning—are all important elements to consider. Overall, active learning
makes student engagement rise. Students get to participate in personalized
teaching strategies, rather than be mere spectators in the classroom.
