In the current climate of increased emphasis on educational excellence and the improvement of the professional performance of classroom teachers, there is a need for teachers to gain an understanding of the big picture of the practice of pedagogy, and why particular practices may or may not be appropriate. This subject requires teachers to examine the origins of the foundational assumptions and presuppositions regarding theology, pedagogy and epistemology within which their teaching is set and to seek to modify their practices in order to faithfully represent these foundations and maximise the learning outcomes for their students.
