Emergent Pedagogy: Approaching Education (an article) | Serendip’s Exchange
-
It is the learning process that is the fundamental building block of emergent pedagogy. In a lecture-style classroom with a plan that is concrete, both the teacher and the student learn only what has been set out for them: the teacher learns nothing more and the student learns only what the teacher already knows. While this seems adequate in a standardized testing environment, in the real world, this scheme seems ill equipped to foster new ideas.

However, when opening the classroom to a discussion environment based on the culmination of diverse ideas from diverse people, original ideas are much more apt to be produced because they are the result of pre-formulated ideas being adapted when new, diverse information is received.
