Pedagogy is the craft or practise of teaching. Pedagogy is caring for young children
(Carlson, 2018). Pedagogy is a caring of young children (Pedagogy in early childhood
education and care, 2015). The main body of the essay covers how the pedagogy
concept is different from the teaching concept, what the craft of pedagogy is, its
importance and what pedagogy includes. This essay will also cover different types of
pedagogy and aims to explain some characteristics. It will justify how COEL is
supported via aspects of pedagogy.
Pedagogy is a type of academic development; it considers the interactions that are
required during the process of learning. It is an approach of teaching something.
Pedagogy is a structured process not a specific process. But in the case of early
education, it is broader term; it may be structured or may not be structured. It is a
process of knowledge, values, beliefs and attitudes. Pedagogy in education is very
important as it can be taught through a school mainly or by a child’s parent. Education is
learning and Pedagogy is a teaching process (Fontana and Setterfield, 2016).
Teaching is considered to be a craft. Craft is a set of skills and knowledge that a person
gets through by practising and experiencing. A craft of pedagogy focuses on teaching
and focuses on how various experiences has crafted the strategies of different teachers.
A craft of pedagogy is important because it improves the quality of teaching and helps
the children get a deeper understanding of fundamental effects, this also helps the
students in analysing, evaluating and creating information.
Pedagogy is the process of teaching students the specific skills that will help them in
there studies. Pedagogy is one of the methods used by teachers to teach students by
using theory and practice in teaching. It is seen that by using pedagogy methods in teaching
it will increase the studies as well it helps in enhancing the skills. As the tiny tots are not
developed mentally. Craft can enhance the skills as it can refine skills like intellectual skills of an
infants. As per studies it is determined that the source of creativity is the things what we see,
listen and focus. It can show the best interest of child as well. Pedology is co relation between
teacher and a student as they share their thoughts, understanding, likes and dislikes with each
1

other’s. The definition of unconditional love and affection can be seen in a bond of teacher and a
student. It involves the student and teacher working in a team together and building of skills as
well as development. As the development occurs in an informational skill, the identical skills,
learning capabilities among with these it also helps to develop innovation, communication and
creativeness skills in infants or students. The communications skills and providing ample of
opportunities to learn while play, sense and favourable conditions which are provided to them at
early stage can promote to build their decision making power which may helpful in choosing
carrier they want to choose in future. Many schools and origination adopted policy of Play and
learn in which the teacher role is to evaluate 5the plan to make them learn particular topic and
execute in a creative manner for example, In UK a survey conducted in regards with the
development through craft the estimated data which have been obtained concluded that daily task
have been determined such as make a butterfly and tots are allowed to use their creative power to
design it then they are classified as per on their skills. Pedology is associated with a child
psychology as well, the mainly school’s phonics, sounds, letters, flashcards, numerical
flashcards, story, drama etc., in order to enhance their skills like social, cognitive, intellectual as
well as problem solving. It also helpful in the development of fine motor skills and gross motor
skills as well. The fine motor skills include small muscles such as griping a crayons, pencils,
pens, water bottle etc. as the school’s authorities provide gripers for those who face problems.
(McDonald and Michela, 2019).
The art of pedology is designed well as it focusses on main objective which allow and
ensure the positive outcomes. As the students at early stage do deal with number of problems
such as hesitation, lack of confidence as well as lack of thinking and balance. It promotes the
development of mind and learning power as well as increase the knowledge.
Approaches of Pedology
The approaches of pedology are different from each other, as per the studies the most affective
and powerful approach of pedology can be termed where a teacher and student work and produce
work together in a team, work (Pedagogy: What Educators Need to Know, 2021). In this process
of learning can make a teacher a mentor, a companion and sometime it become a relation with a
child. This relation cannot be judged as it has complete transparency and trust within it. The trust
makes to express emotions while learning something new for upcoming progress. In addition,

another concept of pedology can be termed the development of language. As they learn the
language while play, communicating with teacher as well as their peers, they get able learn read
and write, in which they also able to learn and acknowledge the sounding of words as they
development in hearing power is also originated through pedology approaches. The correct
pronunciations and sounds can have determined through the various strategies through drama,
story as well as speech therapies are also implemented in these tots in order to open their vocal
chords. In the observation the pedagogical methods were applied on two children who were
using language to decode sounds meanings as well as the letters. As they were using found
language and facing issues while developing their communication skills. It is found that Child B
is more attentive and but speaking less at beginning but meanwhile when Child A start speaking
with an adult the child B started copying the term and begin to speak as resulted the tots have
natural skills to copy the things which adult do or the companion do so they communicate with
each other and they play together. According to studies, there can be two aspects which are
observed, they are follows and they can provide better and clear understanding in order to
understand the concept
Social-pedagogy
The social pedology aims on the social factors of a children. In this policy teacher work
on the socialism of children. As it has been observed in may children that they feel
uncomfortable at once and get hesitate and most likely to sit in the corner which may affect in
their future in order to make this problem solve there are number of activities which are
established to overcome this situation.
Critical Pedagogy
In this critical pedagogy breakdown and deconstruct typical world views and topics as
well as learning. It mostly likely to often includes more and more critical theories and
suggestions even radical philosophy. The main goal and objective is to continue the challenge
students allow them to ask questions which may evolve their interest and their learning as well as
daily life doubts and teacher should answer it wisely.
Pedagogies includes caring teaching a being with tiny tots in every phase of development.
As the relation of teacher and students I being discussed above the relation of transparency can
be determined. It is way by which a teacher can understand the psychological state of a child by
