The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word pedagogy is teaching. Pedagogy is based off of the abilities of the teacher. The teacher is who influences and determines the pedagogy of a classroom. Therefore, pedagogy is very important to me as an up-and-coming secondary teacher. I also understand that pedagogy can refer to the teaching methods and activities that a teacher decides to implement. In that case, there are numerous examples of pedagogy that I know of. For example, here in college, most of my professors chose to lecture. However, there are other numerous formats of teaching. There are hands-on activities, small group work, demonstration, individual work and research. I feel that the various types of pedagogy will only increase with time, and I feel that the growth of technology in the classroom could greatly encourage its development.
