This is very helpful, Dr. Galindo!
Thank you for sharing these. Can you speak to the context of the teaching? Ie. theology course, history, pastoral care, etc? I find that the different courses require different kinds of teaching, and it would be helpful to know what this would have been for.
Thank you, Kayko. I teach in the area of practical theology. I’ve taught courses in education (instruction, curriculum design), congregational development, leadership, and philosophy. You are correct that certain cognate content will require particular methods and approaches. But, the pedagogies of learning tend to be universal (depending on how one defines “pedagogy.”). Principles of learning and principles of sound course design, for example, apply regardless of cognate content. And it remains true that some domains of learning are not optimal in the online environment in the sense it is difficult to teach all dimensions of it. For example, skills development, or knowledge that calls for competencies requiring coaching and immediate feedback, etc. But, difficult is not impossible. In the best of all possible worlds we would have the luxury of utilizing the best of classroom and online modes of teaching and learning—as in hybrid models. Our current pandemic has meant we may not have that choice and for a time will need to rely on the online experience.
All the best!
