Educative teaching

Not all pedagogy is educative. Indeed those who indoctrinate, either intentionally or unintentionally can be considered to be utilising pedagogies, as do those who instruct and train recruits in terrorist training camps. It is argued in this paper that any pedagogy cannot have educative value in itself. In order to be considered appropriate for schools and universities in Australia, pedagogies must be contextualised within clear understandings of educative criteria held by each professional educator.
