Teaching & Pedagogy

What helps people learn, participate, and develop as educators? I review research on classroom dialogue, motivation, literacy, attention, and teacher professional identity, including questions that extend beyond AI.

These reviews connect pedagogical ideas with the conditions in which teaching happens. Use them to reflect on learning activities, classroom relationships, and the support teachers need.

What you can learn from this research

Use these questions to find a starting point. Each theme connects an idea with a practical question for your work.

Dialogue and evidence

How can classroom talk move beyond exchanging opinions?

Ask learners to give reasons, examine evidence, and explain what might change their minds. Choose questions they have a reason to engage with.

Teacher learning

How can educators examine and improve their practice together?

Use classroom experiences as material for shared inquiry. Connect planning, trying an activity, and reflection rather than treating development as a one-off event.
