Pedagogical Focus
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
Referent 1
All of us are potential teachers as well as learners - in a true collaborative environment we are both
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
Referent 2
We learn particularly well from the act of creating or expressing something for others to see (Papert, Aristotle)
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
Referent 3
We learn by just observing the activity of our peers (culture)
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
Referent 4
By understanding the contexts of others, we can teach in a more transformational way (constructivism)
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
Referent 5
A learning environment needs to be flexible and adaptable, so that it can quickly respond to the changing needs of the
participants within it
Copyright 2010 © Martin Dougiamas
