What did you learn?

Individual feedback is
possible with students
that are able to cooperate
effectively.

How effectively do you

think your student
learning outcomes were
achieved (ie skills,
knowledge & attitudes)?

Relatively well,
engagement was a
problem due to netball

teaching space and
students got distracted.

learning as a professional
teacher about the role of
pedagogy in teaching and

Pedagogy plays a larger

role than I had ever

are planned.

Problem solving allows

What inhibited your

learning?

Lack of clear instruction or

did not help.

What do you consider to

be the key idea
influencing
teaching and student
learning outcomes using
these approaches?

Giving some direction and

foundation but not being
too involved, only when
needed.

Teaching can be described

as having an active or
passive role in student
learning. How would you
describe the role of the
teacher using studentcentred pedagogies?

More passive, being able

to let students form their
own ideas is very
important in terms of
achieving what is intended
with this style of teaching.

Being overly dependent

Certain pedagogy can be
manipulated to achieve
certain learning outcomes.

improve their ability to be
independent which is what
may have been aimed as

pedagogy.

Being enthusiastic and

Being active is for only at

times when a framework
or guidance is needed to
help facilitate such
learning.
