1.1 Definitions:
Pedagogy :
Pedagogy refers to the art and science of teaching and instructional methods. It involves the
strategies, techniques, and approaches that educators use to facilitate learning and impart
knowledge to students.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge :
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is the blending of content expertise and pedagogy. It
involves understanding how to teach specific content in ways that make it understandable and
accessible to learners, integrating knowledge of subject matter with effective teaching
strategies.
Epistemologies :
Epistemologies are theories of knowledge that explore the nature, origin, and scope of
knowledge. They address questions about what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and how we
can differentiate between true knowledge and belief.
Rote Learning :
Rote learning is a memorization technique based on repetition. It involves learning information
through constant repetition without necessarily understanding the underlying principles or
concepts.
Indigenous Knowledge Systems :
Indigenous Knowledge Systems refer to the traditional knowledge and practices of indigenous
peoples, developed over generations. This knowledge is specific to a culture or society and
encompasses their understanding of the world, including natural resources, agriculture,
medicine, and spirituality.
