	VIRTUAL TRANSFORMATION: WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGY AND PEDAGOGICAL CHANGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A critical aspect of this transition is the shift in the pedagogical ecology from the physical to the virtual classroom.
		As a pedagogical ecology, it draws on the sociological dictum that social behaviors are shaped and reinforced by structural factors.
		Pedagogical places and practices -- deeply grounded in tradition, habits, routines, and values -- are being reconstituted in ways that will significantly impact on faculty roles, skills, and identity.

	20th WCP: Philosophical and Pedagogical Beginnings: Philosophical Investigations
		An investigation of the philosophical and pedagogical questions raised in the opening remark of the Investigations will demonstrate that we have not yet begun to use Wittgenstein's method and his writings to their full potential.
		Another important philosophical and pedagogical aspect of this example is that there is nothing inner or hidden in Wittgenstein's description of this use of language.
		What is impressive about this pedagogical technique is that it challenges the philosophical idea that we think in our heads (and that the essence of language is something inner, hidden or mental) by teaching us how to use our eyes, ears and bodies when engaged in philosophical investigation.

	Towards a Theory of Pedagogical Action
		Pedagogical action is not only socialization into a prevailing form of life, even though it can never fully escape its cultural determination.
		It highlights the point that in pedagogical action, it is always possible to exceed the prevailing or present culture by mediating it in a such way that the mediation focuses specifically on those contents of tradition that most likely will have meaning in the future life of the upcoming generation.
		This theory of pedagogical action seems to have some important implications on educational research, for example in the fields of moral education and environmental education as well as in the research dealing with the relation between education and politics.

	Pedagogical Agents
		Pedagogical agents can take the shape of a cartoon character, a talking head, an animated character, an avatar or even an interactive, artificial intelligence driven 2-D or 3-D image.
		Students that interacted with pedagogical agents in their lessons generated between 24-48% more correct solutions to problems than students covering that same content with only text or graphics for instructional materials.
		In related research (Atkinson, 2002) students working on math problems that saw examples that were worked through with the help of an agent produced 30% more correct solutions to word problems than students that had the same instruction without the help of an agent to work the problems through.

	Reeves: Evaluating What Really Matters in Computer-Based Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This paper describes fourteen pedagogical dimensions of computer-based education (CBE), each based on some aspect of learning theory or learning concept, that can be used as criteria for evaluating different forms of CBE.
		Pedagogical dimensions can be used to compare one form of CBE with another or to compare different implementations of the same form of CBE.
		Pedagogical dimensions are concerned with those aspects of the design and implementation of CBE that directly affect learning.

	Ethical Issues in Pedagogical Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Pedagogic research is not a discipline confined to academic journals; it is a fundamental obligation of all college instructors.
		Second, and stemming from the British pedagogic tradition, there is “action research.” Action research focuses on the reciprocity between theory and practice, and it emphasizes the attempts by educators to improve their teaching while developing a deeper understanding of their practice by contributing to the pedagogical developments in their respective fields.
		Normative discourse is possible once educators reflect and accept that they voluntarily assumed a dual set of responsibilities when they entered the profession and decided to perform research: they have both the fiduciary responsibilities towards their learners to benefit them and the basic responsibility of a human subject researcher to cause no harm.

	Pedagogical Training
		The pedagogical issues raised reach beyond the language classroom to students' future roles as professors of literature and linguistics.
		By reflecting on their own teaching practice and its relationship to current theory, our graduate students are prepared for a strong start on the job market and for continuous professional development throughout their teaching careers.
		The critical reflection of pedagogical practices will be emphasized and you will be introduced to the relationship between the fields of Second Language Acquisition research and language pedagogy.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Pedagogical content knowledge was first proposed by Shulman (1986) and developed with colleagues in the Knowledge Growth in Teaching project as a broader perspective model for understanding teaching and learning (e.g., Shulman and Grossman, 1988).
		Pedagogical content knowledge was unique to teachers and separated, for example, a science teacher from a scientist.
		Pedagogical content knowledge is the ability to translate subject matter to a diverse group of students using multiple strategies and methods of instruction and assessment while understanding the contextual, cultural, and social limitations within the learning environment.

	Investigating Experienced ESL Teachers' Pedagogical Knowledge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Pedagogical knowledge, or teachers' constructs of the task of teaching (VanPatten, 1997), is defined here as the teacher's accumulated knowledge about the teaching act (e.g., its goals, procedures, strategies) that serves as the basis for his or her classroom behaviour and activities (Feinman-Nemser and Flodden, 1986; Shulman, 1986, 1987).
		Since the aim of the study was to examine the pedagogical information the teachers utilized while teaching, it was imperative to limit the data only to reported thoughts about matters (a) that were clearly instructional, (b) that were spontaneously offered by the teachers, and (c) that occurred during the act of teaching.
		Finally, from their recollected thoughts it was possible to identify at least six domains of pedagogical knowledge that the teachers may have internalized and refer to while teaching.

	Learning Objects - technical and pedagogical issues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		After analysing the reuse of learning resources from different pedagogical paradigms, this paper argues that there is an obvious gap between the learning technology community and the education community.
		In this paper, we discuss a selection of experience-based pedagogical designs, which stand to make the most of the opportunities afforded by information and communications technology.
		In the literature on experience-based pedagogical designs there is no clear distinction made between first person experience and third person experience (also seen as stories).

	Pedagogical Content Knowledge
		However, we feel that the connections between content and pedagogy, the role of PCK as part of learning to teach science, should be made more explicit in both the text and the organization of the document.
		This statement involves multiple pedagogical tasks including: addressing all students' needs; planning activities that allow and encourage students to learn and reason about problems; trying to make sense of the world; and instilling in students the desire to learn more science.
		There is a connection between content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge in science teaching, which is implicit in many of the statements of the NSTA Standards.

	JIME: Designing for Pedagogical Flexibility:
		More importantly, by construing pedagogical issues as outside of the remit of systems development, such designers will not be able to recognise the unintended pedagogic effects of other, apparently unrelated design decisions.
		According to such models which emphasise the interplay of all the elements, it is not logically possible to disentangle pedagogical issues from technological ones as the latter are a constituent element of the former.
		The reverse of the coin is that if instructors use a pedagogical paradigm in their teaching practices which does not match the paradigm legitimised by the system, then CANDLE will not be able to offer any materials of use to them.

		The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce computer scientist researchers and developers to cognitive science empirical research findings regarding appropriate features for designing effective pedagogical agents in learning environments.
		The intended outcomes of the tutorial for participants are as follows: 1) to determine key issues for designing effective pedagogical agents after a review of empirical research; and 2) to determine appropriate research methods for evaluating specific pedagogical agents.
		The focus on designing systematic research methods to evaluate agents (employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches) should also be of interest, given the importance of evaluation in determining agent effectiveness.

	Electronic Pedagogical Practice: The Art and Science of Teaching and Learning On-Line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It is often suggested that new pedagogical practices are needed within electronic environments to maximize student learning.
		Prior to the next evening’s debate, I asked the members of the two remaining teams to read the transcript of the previous night’s debate. The result was, in a word, nasty.
		Each learning environment affords or limits pedagogy in its own way. Effective pedagogical practices cannot be reduced to blanket statements about the environment (i.e., traditional or electronic) but should take into account the factors that are unique to the course curriculum, pedagogical style of the instructor, and the characteristics and assumptions of student learners.

		A: In my view, online learning provides tremendous opportunity for providing pedagogical choices to learners that cannot be provided by a single professor or teacher in a classroom situation.
		At the same time, it also provides opportunity to sequence this knowledge in a way so that it makes more pedagogical sense, by providing different learning strategies.

	The Second Thoughts about Pedagogical Neutrality of LMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		E-learning is also about bringing up the pedagogical innovation, introducing the new ways of learning and teaching that meet the needs of knowledge society.
		From the viewpoint of pedagogical innovation, the built-in pedagogical neutrality of LMS increases the alienation of theoretical discourse of educational science and technology from the practice of teaching and learning.
		One solution would be designing a 'pedagogically biased' LMS, as it was done in the Centre for Educational Technology, Tallinn Pedagogical University.
