Pedagogical models

Since the 1980s when desktop publishing became widely available academics have developed pictorial models to explain their thinking visually.  Below are some models, mostly developed by MirandaNet members, that we use in our action research iCatalyst professional development programme that can be undertaken at certificate, diploma or  Masters level.

Here I have modelled a conventional course at the top as opposed to courses below that contribute to a community like a school sharing knowledge:

This is how members of a community of practice support each other in our view:

 

Action research as a learning method in CPD encourages the  community to revisit and revise their solutions as they learn more. Particularly important in using digital technologies to encourage innovation in teaching and learning.

These models can be very helpful for teachers as learners and leaders to visualise collaboratively the barriers to innovation as well as the stages of progress as skills and knowledge improve throughout the school.
