Overview
This program is part of a lifelong learning approach. It is designed for professionals in education and educational settings from all backgrounds (elementary school, secondary school, universities, nonprofit organizations, vocational schools, etc.) who wish to reflect on, adjust,
implement their practices, and develop them further by experimenting with innovations. It is grounded in scientific research focusing in particular on: a) the analysis of the “reality” or “activity” of teaching and learning, b) the cultures, demographics, and behaviors of learners, and c) educational relationships.
Objectives
Contribute to the development of robust professional competencies that are ethically and technically sound.
Contribute to the development of high-level cross-disciplinary skills.
Expertise and Skills
They are organized around three areas:
1) Scientific insights into the situations teachers face.
These situations encourage an understanding of the worlds of students and teachers; they require taking into account the cultural dimensions of the institution and its stakeholders, as well as school policies; they may involve innovative teaching methods that need to be understood and nurtured.
2) Training in reflective analysis that enables participants to discuss, understand, and analyze specific work situations, with the aim of developing professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes (using video-based training, role-playing, etc.).
3) A research project grounded in interactionist approaches
(socio-anthropology, ergonomics, and activity analysis), leading to the completion of a thesis. This thesis may take the form of a standard written paper or a mixed format combining written sections with films or audio recordings (to support this option, courses in radio and film writing are offered).
Program
The program, which is primarily in-person, includes a distance learning component (synchronous or asynchronous) accounting for approximately 10% of the total hours.
The in-person component takes place over approximately 25 days per year.
Classes are held in Montpellier between September and May, on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
