Focusing on the concept and definitions of pedagogy, this book conducts an in-depth analysis of existing literature to explore the term and its various perspectives. It distinguishes between fixed, fluid, and transformative perspectives while examining three primary forms: traditional teacher-centered, progressive learner-centered, and critical pedagogy. Each form is analyzed through the lenses of teachers' and learners' roles, as well as instructional practices. The work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of pedagogy's multifaceted nature.

Exploring the evolution of child-centered teaching (LCT), the book delves into its historical roots and influential figures like Rousseau and Dewey, highlighting its rise in the UK during the 1920s and 1930s. It addresses the shift in educational practices during the 1960s and 1970s, amid global opposition to formal education, and the subsequent popularity of LCT in the 1990s. By examining various interpretations of LCT, the book aims to clarify its meaning and enhance pedagogical practices, contributing to ongoing discussions among educators.
