Cooperation between pedagogues and teachers in the context of applying interactive teaching methods

Abstract

Based on the results of this research, we come to the conclusion that pedagogues use different approaches with the intention of achieving collaboration with teachers in the context of applying interactive teaching methods. The abovementioned ways of achieving collaboration between teachers and pedagogues are recognized as an important source of support in applying interactive teaching methods. There are various complexities surrounding the phenomenon of collaboration between pedagogues and teachers in the context of applying interactive teaching methods. Therefore, we believe it is necessary for further research to analyze a much larger sample and focus on questions related to the ways and situations in which teachers initiate collaboration with pedagogues in the context of applying interactive teaching methods. Likewise, it would be beneficial to investigate students’ thoughts of the value of applying these methods. We have come to the conclusion that pedagogues should continue nurturing the existing ways of achieving collaboration with teachers in the context of applying interactive teaching methods. However, we believe that collaboration can be further improved by organizing a larger number of classes with the presence of other school members in addition to the pedagogue. This would allow pedagogues to encourage mutual participation and allow other teachers to share their experiences and information related to the application of interactive teaching methods. Finally, as the results of the latest research in this area have indicated that distance constitutes a great obstacle in pedagogues’ organization of teacher professional development (Maksimović et al., 2021), it seems necessary to thoroughly investigate the impact of telework during the COVID-19 pandemic on collaboration between pedagogues and teachers in the context of applying teaching methods. Therefore, future research should consider the advantages and challenges of collaboration between pedagogues and teachers in the field of applying interactive teaching methods over IT platforms.
