Pedagogical approaches

In lesson 3, we mainly talked about the several pedagogical approaches we may have encountered in our school days. Then we moved on to being introduced the 'professional' names of the approaches. Being part of the student body who crossed over from the 20th to the 21st century, we indeed have many experiences with some of the ICT tools, and the approaches our teachers used on us.

I've realised that all these approaches have a specific goal they want to achieve, and mainly encourages the on-going learning in students. Especially for the project based and problem based learning. I find that these 2 approaches are the most engaging yet intellectual, where the students may think and reflect. On another note, i did not realise that knowledge building was actually a kind of pedagogical approach. Talk about learning new things everyday. Indeed, this is almost an 'invisible" form of learning, which is often not identified as we use it.

These pedagogical approaches will indeed prove to be of very much use to me in future as i return to the classroom, this time as the teacher. Not only will it be helpful in my course to provide information and engage the students in learning, it would also aid in effective teaching...
