A pedagogical approach is a set of teaching choices designed to enable a group of students to achieve the best learning outcomes. It is usually centred on a particular philosophy and theory of learning, such as constructivism, social constructivism, or behaviourism. The same teacher might select different pedagogical approaches depending on the subject, the age of the students and their prior learning.

Pedagogical approaches include

active learning
case-based learning
game-based learning
maker-based learning
problem-based learning
project-based learning
scenario-based learning
task-centred learning
team-based learning
andragogy
heutagogy

How to write learning outcomes for a constructively aligned course
In a constructively aligned course, the unit learning outcomes are aligned not only with the assessments, learning activities and content of the unit, but also with the course of study learning outcomes, graduate outcomes and any legislation and regulator's requirements. A good learning outcome is at the right knowledge level and measurable, clearly describing the necessary evidence that a student has achieved the outcome.
