An Emergent Pedagogy is:
1. A philosophy of teaching that is adaptive and responsive to the particular students in a class and the shifting social, cultural, and political context.
2. A new way of thinking about teaching and learning that is grounded in theory but is also experimental in nature and, therefore, in need of a supporting research base.
Or, as Wikipedia succinctly puts it:
…a philosophy of teaching and a way of planning a children’s curriculum that focuses on being responsive to their interests. The goal is to create meaningful learning experiences for the children.
