Pedagogy Day hosted by GC psych and GSTA 10/30/15

Need thoughts on…

Classroom environment (lived):

  • Aspects: physical, social, cultural
  • Engagement, affordances
  • community building
  • Movement, Embodiment
  • Ecological theories

Pedagogy (lived, process, ideology)

  • Transformative activist stance, critical
    • Identity formation
    • Purpose of education
  • Aspects: Social, cultural, philosophical, physical
  • Methods, praxis

Tech (tool/object/machine/ medium)

  • Role and purpose
  • Uses and Types
  • Identity formation
  • Aspects: social, cultural, physical
  • Historical development

University/Higher Education (structure)

  • Historical development
  • Funding
  • Demographics
  • Aspects: social, cultural, economic, physical, structural

Pedagogy shapes course & classroom environment
Tech reshaping role of Higher education
Pedagogy+tech –> theory/practice/method = shapes environment of higher education

Changes in tech warrant changes in pedagogy, re-framing of “spaces of education”

Tech should be part of pedagogy because it is part of daily(physical, social, cultural) life

Ed tech needs to reflect tech used in everyday life, constantly changing, flexible, tailored

 

How does linking TAS/critical pedagogy with thoughtful tech use reshape the educational environment? (classroom, course, admin, higher ed structure)

  • 21st century Identities are hybrid, constructive, constantly interconnected with env (social/cultural physical), learning and education should be too
  • What is the role/purpose of the “university” in higher education?

– “University” associated with historically situated institution, higher education seems like a more fitting term/concept and better suited to describe 21st century education
