What does pedagogy mean to you? Think about one change you have made in your teaching; why did you make the change and how do you know it was an effective change?

4 Module 6 Introduction Continue to reflect on the modules you completed and what makes you an effective teacher. The more you are aware of the learning atmosphere you are creating the more you can design pedagogy to increase learning. At the completion of this unit you will have a working understanding of pedagogy, explored the principles of Mutual Engagement, and have refined your teaching philosophy.

6 Principles of ME How can you incorporate the principles of group dynamics into your class? How will you form your class and then facilitate its movement to a working stage? What specific pedagogical techniques can you use to initiate this process? How can you create a safe atmosphere in your class so students will risk for the betterment of learning? How will you know when you have a safe classroom? What specific pedagogical techniques can you use to initiate this process? How can you incorporate the principles of group dynamics into your class?

7 Application questions: Creating Pedagogy Think of a learning activity that you currently use. Why do you use it and what is its intended purpose? How will your learning activity fit with the principles of group dynamics (would it work well in the early, middle, or working stage) How can you modify it just a bit to increase its effectiveness. How will you know if your new learning activity was successful? Think of a learning activity that you currently use. Why do you use it and what is its intended purpose?

8 Application questions: Creating Pedagogy Take a look at your teaching philosophy and think and write about how you can incorporate this unit into your philosophy. With a learning partner, review the three units you have completed and discuss what you know well and aspects that require further clarification. Write a summary statement of your experience so far with this course. Take a look at your teaching philosophy and think and write about how you can incorporate this unit into your philosophy.

9 Food for Thought It is important to remember that the safe learning environment is the foundation to group formation and effective pedagogy. Students perceptions of the safe environment that was created can increase all learning activities and student understanding.
