Keywords:
pedagogical approaches, student abilities, active learning, differentiated instruction, formative assessment, collaborative learning, technology in education, scaffolding, educational strategies.Abstract
This article examines various pedagogical methods aimed at improving student abilities in educational settings. It highlights the importance of active learning, differentiated instruction, formative assessment, collaborative learning, technology integration, inquiry-based learning, and scaffolding as effective strategies to enhance cognitive, social, and emotional development. By adopting these student-centered approaches, educators can foster deeper understanding, critical thinking, and lifelong learning skills, ultimately preparing students for academic success and real-world challenges.
