could you please elaborate to me the relationship between research and pedagogy?

I like to think of pedagogy as the art of teaching a particular subject.  The way to explain topics so that they are best understood in an effiecient way.  \nWith that said, a theory is an idea that has not been proved or disproved.  I think that because we have not perfected the way people learn best, that within pedagogy there can be theories about how people learn.\n\nResearch usually has more to do with collecting information.  When we do research for papers, we gather information to prove our point from a variety of sources.  Scientific research gathers information through experiments to support a hypothesis.

It depends on the classroom--both students and teacher and even the culture of the school.  If I think back to my public education I went to two districts one conservative and one liberal.  For me the liberal one took getting used to but I learned way more because I wasn't wondering if I had to raise my hand if my teacher would yell if I had gum in my mouth or if the statement I made was appropriate for the environment. I was given freedom but with that came the expectation that I would be responsible for my learning. \n\nCollege was an incredible experience. Mostly because it was small and class sizes even smaller 9-15 was my norm, so students felt the necessity to participate and it was safe for them to do that.  I think I learn more verbalizing what I am studying rather than being a recepticle of knowledge.\n\nI am in grad school now, many years later and I still like my smaller classes more. I like collaberative groups and group disscussions and it irritates me when professors lecture or use powerpoint as their only means of communication. Pastors know to stop at 15 minutes and change gears. I could read an essay and a text book, challenge me.  Don't try to impress me--but don't berate me if I make a mistake.  The teacher needs to be sensitive to that.

Your thesis should have a relationship between two things. It may be the change in technology's effects on common student problem. You need to give more information about your paper.

about structure, i think there are many parts\nIntroduction, research aim&outline, research method,findings,recommendation\n&conclusion,reference...\n\ni'm not sure whether its totally right..but i have done research project till now

How can anyone suggest to you a topic to do your PhD?\nMost doctoral candidates chose something they really like or are\ninterested in. If you like English Literature you need to find out what already has been researched or if the topic has been researched maybe you can supply a different angle or explanation. The best is to have a talk with your future instructor (you need to do that because some instructors are either too busy, not nice to work with, not interested in the topic you suggest etc.) so get yourself several topics, find the university and the instructor you think might suit your research and good luck.

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

Hmmmm .... I'm not sure if you mean "affective teaching" or "effective teaching".  The second term is much more common in education literature, and they are different concepts.\n\nThe first link I've included discusses teaching and learning in the affective domain.  The other links are related to effective teaching.\n\nI hope this helps.

I think you should go to like teaching tools or a place that has something to do with teaching or something like that.Good luck.

What is important for the students to learn and why.\n\nMost schools (districts, etc.) have a published philosophy that teachers are expected to abide by. Your philosophy may not be exactly the same, but if it's too divergent, it may be hard to work there. The more you agree with the school's philosophy, the easier it will be to do things their way.

Explain your career a bit more.  What exactly do you write?  Do you do research?  And in what setting do you work (schools, universities, government, etc.)?  I am not familiar with the term "educational writer."

Check "ERIC" which is the Education Resources Information Center.  Just type in "retention" and you will have a wealth of scholarly articles to choose from.  When I am looking for things I always do an advanced search and click for full-text articles otherwise you might see an abstract or title for something really good but not be able to access it.

I hope you're more informative in your thesis.  What's the subject?

Well, I would say assessment.\nI am doing one about whether students are more aware of assessment levels for reading and writing than speaking and listening (they are).\n\nOther people I know are doing whether written or verbal feedback is more effective in raising pupils marks.\n\nIts always useful to do something about disaffected boys and which type assessment works for them, peer marking, verbal or written.\nTry doing something simple like is it better to write a grade on a students work or not, because most students just read the mark and not the corrections or comments.\n\nThere are lots of useful books about action research, I got one off Amazon -Action Research in Classrooms and Schools by David Hustler.\n\nGood luck\n\n\nP.S contact me if you need to discuss futher.

its a good concept because it focuses more on the learner. the teacher is able to do more guiding than direct teaching. the learner is also able to get more actively involved in what is going on either through experiments, group learning, etc..it provides better understanding for the learner and its probably a lot less boring for them than standard lecture.

I try to have my student teachers use exploratorium with their students.  Check the link below.\n\n-college science methods teacher trainer

I am taking that class now in college and I believe that some of the concepts are beyond what some teachers are capable of teaching. It takes my professor a while to explain it to people in three diffrent ways. I though have had some courses in high school that connect with the subject. So some hhigh schools are teaching parts but not all of it.

The key thing is to write daily. Don't wait to write after your research is done but write while you are researching. Set reachable goals for yourself to help keep you motivated and on track. Keep your subject somewhat small so you can answer the question in great detail and avoid stressing out over the word count. Also, meet with your supervisor(s) however many times recommended by the school guidelines, more if the professor is willing.
