Productive Pedagogies

Productive pedagogies are reflective tools which allow you to determine whether you have achieved the student outcomes you require.  The key points for these tools are:

• facilitate higher order thinking
• collaborative learning
• student learning style
• problem based learning
• authentic
• student owns their own learning
• engaging and within belief system
• active citizenship

The GDLT ICT course provided a link to   Productive Pedagogies Tool to conduct the activity below.

My activity – How to Tie Your Own Shoelaces.

I could have put for a writing exercise at the end of how the learner felt about learning to tie their own shoes, to use as a review step and incorporate some literacy skills.

I liked the tool but found it challenging to link the pedagogies with the steps in the process.  Once a task is broken down there are more aspects involved that you first realise.  However, you are able to identify a lot more strategies used through the process than I initially expected.  This tool will be useful once I have a more practical application for the tool to be used in.
