Pedagogy

Pedagogy researches the principles and practices of educational activities occurring in different contexts (environments). It examines guided learning as a situationally based and contextually linked activity, in which it is important for the teacher or learning facilitator to have situation-specific sensitivity to support and guide the motivation, interconnections, and interactions of learners. In addition, the learning environment, which contains the physical, social, and psychological learning environments, is broadly understood as the point of examination.

Pedagogy includes didactics with a broader perspective for guided learning. Guided learning should not be thought of as teacher directed for implementing curriculum or teaching methods. Rather, it should be thought of as attention to student needs, interaction, and creating a positive learning atmosphere.

Pedagogical school subjects include the pedagogy of music, mathematics, natural sciences, and language. Activities in these are reviewed from the viewpoint of general pedagogy. The pedagogical perspective in school subjects states that learners and learning-related research data dictate pedagogical viewpoints rather than the natural data from school subjects.
