Which sub-discipline includes teacher behavior, student behavior, teacher effectiveness and curriculum?

• A. Sports management
• B. Pedagogy
• C. Kinesiology
• D. Motor control

Answer: (B)

Pedagogy is the study of teaching and learning—the methods, strategies, and principles used to facilitate understanding. It includes how teachers behave in the classroom, how students respond and engage, how teacher effectiveness is developed and assessed, and how curriculum is designed and organized to support learning. Other fields focus on different things—such as organizing sports programs (sports management), studying how the body moves (kinesiology), or examining the neural and muscular processes behind movement (motor control)—but none center on the instructional relationship and curriculum design in the way pedagogy does. So pedagogy best fits the idea of a sub-discipline that includes teacher behavior, student behavior, teacher effectiveness, and curriculum.
