The Productive Pedagogies is a framework produced by the Department of Education in Queensland and is a reflective framework for teachers. It allows teachers to reflect on and align what they are teaching with important pedagogical practices.
The State of Queensland (Department of Education) (2002) notes that,
“Teachers should use the Productive Pedagogies framework to consider:
1: Are all the students I teach, regardless of background, engaged in intellectually challenging and relevant curriculum in a supportive environment?
2: How do my teaching and assessment practices support or hinder this?
3: What opportunities do I have to critically reflect upon my work with colleagues?”
The Productive Pedagogies are broken into four main pedagogical practice headings including:
1: Intellectual quality:
Does what teachers teach produce in students a high level of academic quality and make them think and consider what they are learning.
2: Supportive classroom environment:
Does the classroom and teacher function as a supportive and fair platform for students to work and learn in?
3: Recognition of difference:
Does the learning environment provide learning for everybody and support diversity in learning and student population.
4: Connectedness:
Is the knowledge taught relevant to the student and the world outside the classroom? Can students use their knowledge meaningfully and are appropriate linkages with other subject areas and topics realised through good teaching practice.
