Pedagogy is the method and practice of teaching, especially as an
academic subject or theoretical concept:the relationship between applied linguistics
and language pedagogy.According to Koehler and Mishra (2009), Pedagogical knowledge
(PK) is teachers’ deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods
of teaching and learning. They encompass, among other things, overall
educational purposes, values, and aims. This generic form of knowledge applies
to understanding how students learn, general classroom management skills,
lesson planning, and student assessment. It includes knowledge about techniques
or methods used in the classroom; the nature of the target audience; and
strategies for evaluating student understanding. A teacher with deep
pedagogical knowledge understands how students construct knowledge and acquire
skills and how they develop habits of mind and positive dispositions toward
learning. As such, pedagogical knowledge requires an understanding of
cognitive, social, and developmental theories of learning and how they apply to
students in the classroom (p. 64).
