The Four Pedagogues.: How the Four Pedagogues in an authentic hybrid Student-centered Learning Environment foster Student Agency. An explora

’The Four Pedagogues’ explores the transformative impact of educational technology on student motivation and agency before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This comprehensive international literature review outlines the three well-known pedagogues; the supportive teacher, the reflective student, and the student-centered learning environment. Akkermans - Wapperom introduces a fourth pedagogue, authentic student use of the Cloud. Together, these four pedagogues foster student agency, recognised as a crucial competence in the Information Age. This outcome is validated by an empirical longitudinal study involving upper primary school students, using observations, interviews, and experiments. The study concludes that student-centered pedagogy, when supported by strategic practices and authentic use of edtech enhances student engagement and ownership in both physical and remote learning environments. Inspired by Sugata Mitra’s ’Hole in The Wall’ research, the study includes a foreword by Mitra himself.
