Ever wonder how many -gogies there are out there beyond pedagogy and andragogy? While a list like this may seem as repetitive, exhausting, or unnecessary to some , it is also an interesting study into how education is not a simple or black-and-white endeavor. Every one of these theories were created by people that thought the others that already existed were not accurately describing what they thought education was or should be. Therefore this list gets at the root of why Ed Tech solutionism is so problematic: people are unique, different, and ever-changing. We can’t have one idea or solution that works for all people at all times. We need to look at education as an individualized process of ever-changing sociocultural implications, not a standardized set of common core skills to master in clone-like fashion.
