Keywords:
Discourse, Constructivism, Critical Pedagogy, Inclusivity, Digital Integration, Teaching MethodologiesAbstract
The article discusses pedagogical discourse and its importance in education practices. This paper traces the development of pedagogical theories from Socratic dialogues to formal position, i.e., constructivism and critical pedagogy for example by means of examining the evolution of discourse in teaching functions. Through the lens of a qualitative approach, this study examines the traditional literature, case studies and recent trends in integrating digital and inclusivity within the educational field. Some key findings which state how an efficient pedagogical discourse promotes student engagement and critical thinking and also caters for diverse minds.
These results infer the educational values, yet researchers suggest that educators and policymakers must concentrate on inclusive practices and remodel pedagogical appearances to answer for the dual pressures influencing educational structure. This work makes an important contribution to the ongoing conversation regarding quality teaching practice, examining how language and interaction succeed in enriching a pedagogical experience.
