Through internal and external debate. Industry should be consulted.

This is an important question and will vary based upon the needs of your students and allowances within your department. Are you interested in their practical use or literature to conduct research?

The question seems to be an approach from the institutional perspective. What is the institutionally prescribed role of the student, and therefore what is our teaching philosophy? Of interest, however, are perspectives developed from questions such as, what are the goals of my student . . . is it graduation, is it a job, is it scholarship? Further, how does my student respond to my teaching methods - to advance organizers, to in class and out of class lessons and assignments, to discussion and debate, to social concerns?  Of what type and quality are the questions my student asks? Answers to these questions can help to identify how to approach that individual student.

Thanks for giving an insight to the question.

I am a firm believer in multiple intelligence learning styles--it is a wonderful way to integrate information for all learners. Additionally, I also like/use Universal Design for Learning, which consist of three components. As a faculty member for 29 years, these two methods are my favorite. Here is the link to Universal Design for Learning:

Dear Shar,

Very good answer.

I think is important considering students' outcomes, I mean students competences requered in our society,  that benefit social development, including economic growth. For this, it is necessary an appropriate political framework that permit teachers can implement innovative pedagogies and best practices. We live in a world of rapid changes, in terms of new technologies they can be used for improving teaching and learning, as well.

Thank you Oswaldo for your insight in the subject.

What do you mean by best pedagogy?  It depends on the philosophy of the institution, the various curricula that might be offered, the demographics of your student cohort, the skill set of your faculty (how well they are prepared in the understanding and application of evidence-based education theories and models) and how this is translated into course / unit design, delivery and assessment.  Best pedagogy is the provision of what I call educational fidelity - delivering the best available programs that offer both surface and deep learning opportunities that address / enhance the student learning experience, preparing them to be work ready and resilient in achieving employment.  But that is just my view based on my studies and experiences. The best pedagogy is what is decided upon and delivered  by you and your colleagues, after considering all your variables / healthy debate / consensus / validity and reliability testing, and being student outcome focused. Good luck. 

Thanks for your answer.

Definitivamente, el Diagnóstico, La OBSERVACIÓN Y La Experiencia Ayudan  Adaptar la pedagogía Adecuada PARA CUALQUIER Nivel de Estudio.

Thanks Ana

The selection of pedagogical approach should be in tandem with students' current interest as this will promote their understanding and engagement in their learning.

Very good answer Malini

There are several criteria for the selection of teaching methods for college instruction. For instance, class size, resources available and the nature of the objectives to be attained need to be seen as important entities. Likewise, the teaching method should encourage active learning and successfully encourage students to think imaginatively, critically, and independently. Moreover, the selected pedagogical approaches should be appropriate to, and effective with, a variety of different learning styles.
