Pedagogy is the science and art of education, focusing on developing individuals and acquiring skills, as exemplified by Paulo Freire's 'critical pedagogy'. The term originates from Greek, meaning 'to lead the child', and in Denmark, it refers to professionals involved in early childhood and social education. The E5 instructional model provides a framework for effective teaching practices, emphasizing engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation.

1. PEDAGOGY
Pedagogy is the science and art of
education. Its aims range from the full
development of the human being to
skills acquisition. For example, Paulo
Freire referred to his method of
teaching people as "critical pedagogy".

2. The instructor's own philosophical
beliefs of instruction are harbored and
governed by the pupil's background
knowledge and experience, situation,
and environment, as well
as learning goals set by the student and
teacher.

3. Etymology
The word comes from the Greek
παιδαγωγία (paidagōgia) from παιδαγωγός
(paidagōgos), in which παῖς (país, genitive
παιδός, paidos)means "child"
and ἄγω (ágō) means "lead"; literally
translated "to lead the child".

4. The word pedagogue actually relates to the slave who
escorts Roman children to school. In Denmark, a
pedagogue is a practitioner of pedagogy. The term is
primarily used for individuals who occupy jobs inpre-
school education (such as kindergartens andnurseries)
in Scandinavia. But a pedagogue can occupy various
kinds of jobs, e.g. in retirement
homes, prisons, orphanages, and human resource
management. These are often recognised as social
pedagogues as they perform on behalf of society.

5. DIFFERENCE FROM TEACHING
The pedagogue's job is usually distinguished
from a teacher's by primarily focusing on
teaching children life-preparing knowledge such
as social skills and cultural norms, etc. There is
also a very big focus on care and well-being of
the child. Many pedagogical institutions also
practice social inclusion. The pedagogue's work
also consists of supporting the child in their
mental and social development.

6. THE E5 INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL
The e5 Instructional Model
is a reference point for
school leaders and teachers
to develop a deeper
understanding of what
constitutes high quality
teacher practice in
the classroom.
