Pedagogic Frameworks

The Generic Pedagogic Framework has been created using conceptual thinking derived from the second generation activity system of Engestrom. The framework is formed of a triangle. Each corner represents teachers, pupils and sites of learning. In the centre of the triangle is the learning focus which is a shared conception of the learning object arrived at by negotiation between the teachers and the pupils. Pupils can use skills and knowledge about ICT gained from learning in informal contexts such as the home. Teachers can find a new set of roles - for instance as co-learners by applying the framework. Other adults influencing learning are also built into the framework and can influence interactions.

The top level generic pedagogic framework described above leads to four instances of specific pedagogic frameworks. These are: pupil voice; pupils as teachers; pupils as producers of media, and learning online.
