Subject-Specific Teaching and Signature Pedagogies: New Training Needs and Strategies for Improving Learning
Abstract
This experimental study examines the effectiveness of subject-specific teaching methods and Signature Pedagogies in enhancing school learning. Using a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach, the study analyzed the effectiveness of a teaching protocol that was tested on primary school pupils, paying particular attention to those with special educational needs. Quantitative data were collected using the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study for reading, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study for mathematics and science, and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC- V) for cognitive skills. Qualitative data were analyzed through semi-structured interviews, direct classroom observations, and feedback from teachers, students, and parents. The results demonstrate a notable enhancement in reading, mathematics and science proficiency among the groups that followed the proposed methodology, alongside heightened motivation and an enhanced capacity for interdisciplinary connections. These findings lend support to the efficacy of the protocol in fostering improved learning outcomes in schools.
