THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION OF MODULAR TEACHING AS A PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGY

Modular teaching, a pedagogical approach that organizes learning into discrete modules or units, has received increasing attention in recent years. This article explores the theoretical foundations of modular teaching as a pedagogical technology, based on the main educational theories and principles. The article discusses the constructivist perspective, cognitive load theory, self-regulation, and other relevant theories that underlie the effectiveness and benefits of modular learning. It also emphasizes the potential benefits of modular learning, including the development of flexibility, engagement, time management, mastery learning, differentiated learning, and lifelong learning skills. By understanding the theoretical foundations of modular instruction, teachers can use this pedagogical technology to improve learning outcomes and meet the diverse needs of students.
