Pedagogy: the school-run in ancient Greece
White Paper: Pedagogy and e-learning
The word 'pedagogy' has Greek roots, originally meaning 'a slave
who took a boy to and from school'. It is a combination of the Greek
words for boy (paidos) and leader (agogos).
The language of learning can be confusing.
This particular term - which places more emphasis on teaching than
on learning - had almost faded into a perhaps deserved obscurity.
Now it has been resuscitated and is on everyone's lips, in both
education and training. From government ministers downwards, no
paper, conference or discussion of the future of learning can take
place without the word being uttered in reverential tones.
It is being used as if it were a newly discovered continent, full
of future promise. In fact it is an old word, full of problems.
This ground-breaking new white paper from Donald Clark,
CEO of Epic Group plc, traces the historical roots of pedagogy,
weighs its scientific credibility and examines its relevance for
today's world of e-enabled, self-directed learners.
