The pedagogy of an educational institute refers to the philosophy, approach, and methods used in teaching and learning within that institution. It encompasses the strategies, techniques, and principles employed by educators to facilitate the educational process and foster student development. It’s important to note that the pedagogy of an educational institute can vary based on factors such as cultural context and educational goals. Regardless of that, any architectural education majorly comprises two components: theory and the practical aspects of the field.
