Pedagogical Frameworks
However, I think their illustrative diagram (Fig 2.1 Pedagogical framework, educational setting, organisational context) is upside down!

For me the foundation of a pedagogical framework starts with your Philosophy (World view or epistemology), built upon this is a corresponding "High level Pedagogy" (e.g. Social Constructivism), then comes pedagogical strategies and pedagogical tactics for implementation.
Some useful references around pedagogical frameworks:
Brown, J. S. (2006). New Learning Environments for the 21st Century: Exploring the Edge. Change, September/October, 18-24.
