Pedagogy in forensic psychology

My personal pedagogy is rooted in my professional status as a forensic psychologist. As an applied discipline, forensic psychology requires that teaching is evidence based (i.e., research informed) and grounded in a practice informed ethos. Consequently, my personal pedagogical model is based on four key overlapping values: a student centred approach; research informed teaching; practitioner informed teaching; and being a reflective practitioner. Distinctions between these values are blurred and inter-relationships complex and diverse when put into practice. Therefore, at the centre of my model is the overall concept of engaged and informed learning. Each of my four values are considered in turn, taking account of modern pedagogical thinking and examining this in context with my own personal experiences and philosophy of teaching.
