28/7/09 1. I see effective pedagogy as teachers providing the best possible environment and enhancing every opportunity for students to learn. 2. I have definitely been trying to create a supportive learning environment in my classes, and have had it mentioned by all of my associates that I established a good rapport with my classes and that students were happy to ask for my help in any situation. I’ve also made connections to prior learning and experience, by including a revision lesson on the periodic table and a brainstorm about what they already knew about metals at the start of my unit on metals. They had a lot more knowledge then I would have thought, so I was able to build on that and link ideas to what they’d told me. This also is part of teaching as inquiry, which is also another pedagogy I used. I planned every lesson thinking, what do my students know already, what’s the best way for them to learn what they need to know, and I have definitely been assessing what I did and whether I would teach the same way in the future. 3. I guess the three that I mentioned above are the ones that I am able to use easily, as I did them without even really thinking about it. 4. Encouraging reflective thought and action, as it’s not something I enjoy doing myself. Probably also providing sufficient opportunities to learn, but only because of the time constraints some school s have. 5. The same as for question 4
