Table 4 Examples of formal and lived pedagogical concepts
Type of concept | Example |
|---|---|
Formal pedagogical concepts: theories, abstractions, principles, or generalizations about teaching and learning | Ex 1: “Students are more comfortable asking a TA or LA for help because they are less intimidating than the professor.” |
Ex 2: “Students need to have agency over their learning.” | |
Lived concepts: experiences in the world, for example, replays and rehearsals of classroom experiences | Ex 1: “Students had a really hard time with activity 5 yesterday.” |
Ex 2: “I am not going to give unit tests this term. I will only give module exams.” |
