Which Praxis test includes pedagogy and knowledge of learners and learning?

The Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) test is specifically designed to assess knowledge related to pedagogy and the understanding of learners and learning. This test focuses on the foundational aspects of teaching effectiveness, addressing how educators can apply principles of learning and development to enhance their teaching practices. It covers areas such as understanding how students learn and develop, instructional strategies, and the role of the learning environment, making it crucial for prospective educators to demonstrate their readiness to support diverse learners.

While the Core Academic Skills for Educators primarily evaluates basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics and is foundational for teaching, it does not address teaching strategies or the application of pedagogy. Subject Assessments evaluate content knowledge within specific subject areas but do not delve into pedagogical understanding. Specialty Area Tests focus on specific disciplines and the content knowledge required for those areas, rather than broader pedagogical concepts. Therefore, the PLT is the most appropriate test for assessing pedagogy and knowledge of learners and learning in educational practice.
