1.1 Education Principles

2.1.2 Compare education models and explain how they impact the classroom.

Throughout the history and continuing development of the education system, the different
ways of teaching and learning have gradually become widespread and diverse. Through many
theorists who came up with different philosophies of education, it has broadened the way
teachers teach information to their students. Which led to the development of different
pedagogies teachers use today. Many strategies have been created to benefit the students and get
them to progress academically, socially and emotionally. However, there can be some
disadvantages to these ways of teaching. The goal for all of these strategies is the same, which is
to lead the students to succeeding and prepare them for the real world, starting at the preschool
age all the way to when they are in twelfth grade.
