Foundation Skills/Pedagogy, Andragogy and Heutagogy/Teaching Styles



Teachers have different teaching styles, depending on their philosophy of teaching and the context in which they teach. These styles may be categorised as teacher-centred or learner-centred. Billie Hara (2009) discusses the meaning of these terms in the article: Teacher-Centered vs. Student-Centered Pedagogy.

However, it is not as simple as this. Eric Gill (2013) describes several different styles of teaching in the article: [http://education.cu-portland.edu/blog/teaching-strategies/5-types-of-classroom-teaching-styles/ What is Your Teaching Style? 5 Effective Teaching Methods for Your Classroom.] They include:
 * Authority, or lecture style
 * Demonstrator, or coach style
 * Facilitator, or activity style
 * Developer, or group style
 * Hybrid, or blended style.
