2.1.2 Compare Educational Models, and explain how they impact the classroom
Within the classroom, an important job of a teacher is to find other options of teaching
styles that mix it up in the classroom and accommodate every type of learner. These methods or
pedagogies help the teacher combine student, teacher and combined teaching strategies into the
The first example of a pedagogy would be student led. This is where the students get the
opportunity to control how they are taught using a constructivism approach. During class we
talked about different ways this can be used in a classroom from cooperative learning, peer
teaching to student led socratic seminars. (Evidence 1.1.1) This gives students the opportunity to
speak up and gain self-confidence within the classroom and an outlet to advocate for their own
comprehension. Another form of teaching is the obvious teacher led that focuses on behaviorism,
which can also be known as operant conditioning. Teacher-led is what many classroom settings
look like, where the teacher is in control of the learning environment and ways of direct teaching,
modeling and demonstration. B.F Skinner can be used as a theorist to back this pedagogy up as
Following these two sperate teaching styles, there can also be a combined pedagogy where the
student and teacher work together to complete the lessons of the day. This is a form of social
constructivism shown through interactive games, field trips, white board problems or even whole
class discussions. (Evidence 1.1.3) The final pedagogy is Response to Intervention which can
also be identified as social constructivism. Examples of this would be where a teacher identifies
a student with a disability who is at risk and continually assesses them and works alongside them
to make sure they are able to comprehend the information. Bloom’s taxonomy can be shown
through this when a teacher takes the time to go through each taxonomy step to make sure the
Each of these pedagogies can help students take control of their own learning and also be
