Pratiques pédagogiques dans l’enseignement supérieur

This course will mainly focus on failure analysis in higher education mass teaching and associated factors, from both the student and the teaching point of view. Indeed, this theme appears to be symptomatic of other malfunctions in higher education. This focus is borne by the fact that the analysis of the nature and the factors of mass student failure will lead us all along this course to question on a broader scale educational methods in the final stage of schooling.

The course aims at leading students : to discover and critically discuss the most innovative educational concepts in higher education, to be able to express them in a personal way and to use them to decode new situation; to develop their own views regarding teaching and learning in higher education and to confront them with the results of related research studies; to use the course material to analyse, interpret and put into perspective current educational problems in higher education.
