4. Introduction
Pedagogy and Pedagogical approaches in teaching
◼ Pedagogy refers to the method and practices of a teacher.
It's how they approach their teaching style, and relates to the
different theories they use, how they give feedback, and the
assessments they set. When people refer to the pedagogy of
teaching, it means how the teacher delivers the curriculum to
the class
◼ Teacher’s primary concern on the learners. They have to teach
in order for their students to learn something.
◼ They use some tools in teaching such as books, visuals, and
any other suitable materials. However, teaching is not as easy
as that because they also have to be aware of the 5
Pedagogical Approaches which can enhance the process of
learning.

5. The Five Pedagogical Approaches in
Teaching are:
1. Collaborative Approach
2. Inquiry-Based Approach
3. Integrative Approach
4. Reflective Approach
5. Constructivism or the Constructivist
Approach

6. Collaborative Approach of pedagody
◼ What is collaborative Approach?
◼ Collaborative approach pedagogy rejects the
notion that students can think, learn and write
effectively in isolation.
◼ Collaborative approach of pedagogy is a
learner-centered strategy that strives to
maximize critical thinking, learning and
writing skills through peer-to-peer interaction
and interpersonal engagement.

7. Inquiry-based Approach
Inquiry-based approach
◼ Inquiry-based approach encourages students to ask questions and complete research while
learning various concepts. The pedagogy focuses on helping learners acquire the skills
necessary to develop their own ideas, as well as question themselves and group members in
a constructive way. The four steps of inquiry-based learning are:
◼ Developing problem statements that require students to pitch their question using a
constructed response, further inquiry and citation.
◼ Researching the topic using time in class where the instructor can guide students in their
learnings
◼ Presenting what they’ve learned to their peers or to a small group Asking students to reflect
on what worked about the process and what didn’t. Students focus on how they learned in
addition to what they learned, to activate metacognition skills (or thinking about thinking).

8. Integrative Approach
◼ integrative approach of pedagogy?
◼ Integrative learning is the process of making
connections between concepts and
experiences so that information and skills can
be applied to novel and complex issues or
challenges.

9. Reflective Approach of pedagogy
◼ What is reflective approach pedagogy?
◼ Encourages the instructor to reflect upon lessons.
◼ Projects and assessments, with the goal of
improving them for future use.
◼ Students are also encouraged to reflect on their
performance on assessments and look for areas
where they can improve.

10. Constructivism Approach of
Pedagogy
◼ It is a modern teaching concept
◼ Evolution from teacher-centered system to learner centered
system.
◼ This demands changes in the instructional process and
materials.
◼ Learner must construct knowledge and teacher cannot supply
it.
◼ Constructivist teaching strategies help students understand the
meaning of their learning materials, instead of just passively
ingesting content. Rather than focusing on the subject or
lesson being taught, educators are encouraged to focus on how
the student learns.

12. What is constructivism actually?
◼ Constructivism is basically a theory - based on
observation and scientific study -- about how people
learn.
◼ People construct their own understanding and
knowledge of the world, through experiencing things
and reflecting on those experiences.
◼ When we encounter something new, we have to
settle it with our previous ideas and experience, may
be changing what we believe, or may be discarding
the new information as irrelevant.

13. Cont.
◼ An approach to learning in which learners are
provided the opportunity to construct their own sense
of what is being learned by building internal
connection or relationship among the ideas and facts
being taught.” Borich and Tombari (1997 )
◼ “ Human are not passive information receiver.
Human are active information receiver, they build
network of information with their previous
information and they assimilate or accommodate new
knowledge with the old information in order to build
their own understanding of the new information.”
(Cheek,1992)

16. Cont.
◼ Transform thinking and practice beyond
today’s traditional models and boundaries of
schools and educational system.
◼ Focuses on reproduction knowledge
construction.
◼ Uses authentic tasks to engage learners to
provide them meaningful and problem based
thinking.
