Training in teaching

By knowing the difference in training for a pedagogue, a teacher and a curriculum technician one would have to know the identities of each. Once the role is defined the difference in training styles and importance will become clear.

A pedagogue's training will be more formal, but less specified than a teacher; who in turn will be less specified than a curriculum technician. The curriculum technician will be trained within the specific curriculum and the teacher will need a broader understanding of the content and ALSO of the learners and how to treat them.

What is Digital Pedagogy?

Digital Pedagogy is the use of technology in a classroom to further the education of the learners and to aid the teacher while teaching. The use of technology makes teaching simpler, because information is right at hand and students can do research at the touch of a button; it also enables students to visualise the work being taught, because diagrams and simulations can be showed.

The technology is used to directly impact the teaching and learning between the students and the teachers. It is used to improve the experience and simplify life. It definitely has a place in South African schools, but due to the fact that our country is a third world country, this will take time to implement.
