Pedagogy
Remember, we are defining pedagogy as, “The theory, methods, and strategies employed in the design and implementation of educational technology solutions with a focus on effective teaching and learning.” Complete this reflection to evaluate the degree to which you have considered equity in pedagogy.
Pause to Reflect
Take a few minutes before you start the assessment to reflect. These questions will help you think about your solution and your end users. This will help guide you to answer the reflection questions for the design factor.
- What is the problem you are trying to solve?
- Reflect on the different type of end users your solution serves and their unique needs. Think about gender, ability, location, etc.
- Think about the environment where you are implementing your solution. Online or in person. In school or out of school. Rural or urban.
- Think about the barriers that might exist – connectivity, affordability, traditional and digital literacy, etc.
