Implications for pedagogy

  • Will we have to teach differently?
  • Will our current pedagogies be sufficient?
  • Is good pedagogy good pedagogy, full stop?

 

One of the groups participating in the discussion of this topic touched on complexity theory and its potential to challenge us to reconsider our pedagogy. For those in the group (and perhaps some who weren't) you might like to consult the following references and links...

Phelps, R., Hase, S., & Ellis, A. (2005). Competency, capability, complexity and computers: Exploring a new model for conceptualising end-user computer education. British Journal of Educational Technology, 36(1), 67-84. (available on ERIC through library databases)..

There was also discussion about the 'agogys' (i.e. pedagogy and andragogy) and I made reference to Stewart Hase's notion of Heutagogy ... if you want to read further try
