Pedagogy encompasses:
… teachers’ attitudes, beliefs and ideas, as well as their knowledge and understanding of the teaching and learning process and the diversity of learners – all of which impact on their practice in the classroom. This includes for example:
- communication and social interaction (with and between learners);
- visual methods to support learning;
- organising tasks to engage learners;
- monitoring and using feedback for further planning;
- formative and summative assessment of learners (involving learners themselves).
Pedagogy ‘acknowledges the importance of relationships’ and ‘sees teachers working alongside learners with concern for their holistic development and well-being’ (European Agency, 2015e, p. 10).
