| Enquête CÉDIT 2012 De février à mai 2012, le CEDIT a mené une vaste enquête auprès d’enseignants et de conseillers pédagogiques. Cette enquête visait à faire le portrait des pratiques pédagogiques et des pratiques d’accompagnement, faisant appel aux technologies, des professionnels œuvrant au sein d’établissements collégiaux et universitaires situés en région, au Québec. L’enquête avait comme objectif général de faire l’état des lieux sur les pédagogies permettant l’utilisation des technologies de l’information et des communications (TIC) en enseignement supérieur. Nous avons sollicité la participation des enseignants et des conseillers pédagogiques d’institutions situées dans les régions suivantes : Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Chaudière-Appalaches, Côte-Nord, Bas-St-Laurent, Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine et Estrie. Cette enquête en ligne a permis de recueillir les perceptions d’enseignants et de conseillers pédagogiques de plusieurs établissements postsecondaires situés en région.

L'inattention sur les bancs d'école | Isabelle Burgun | Famille L'élève continuellement «dans la lune», celui qui souffrirait d'un trouble sans hyperactivité, courrait en effet plus de risque de passer à côté de son année scolaire que son compagnon plus turbulent. «D'un point de vue cognitif, les enfants remuants, qui gênent le bon déroulement de la classe, retirent souvent de l'information de leur environnement, mais pas les élèves en déficit d'attention», explique Jean-Baptiste Pingault du Groupe de recherche sur l'inadaptation psychosociale chez l'enfant (GRIP). Les chercheurs du GRIP ont retracé les trajectoires scolaires d'une cohorte de 2 000 élèves de 6 à 22 ans dont le niveau d'attention avait été évalué par les enseignants tout au long de leurs études primaires. L'inattention, lorsque le trouble diagnostiqué s'installe de manière permanente, constituerait un plus grand risque d'échec. «70 % des élèves en grand déficit d'attention échouent.

Educational Transformation through Technology at MIT - Active Learning The process of learning should engage the imagination—both of students and of faculty. So MIT set about transforming university education from a string of passive lectures in introductory courses into an intense, active, personalized and highly collaborative adventure. The key: more flexible modes of learning that better stimulate discovery and improve understanding of conceptual material. These projects have been implemented in the past five years: Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate—CDIO: Developed in partnership with engineering schools across Europe and beyond, a new model of engineering education recasts the fundamentals in the context of concept, design, implementation and operation. Technology-Enabled Active Learning—TEAL: TEAL replaced large, passive introductory courses by merging lectures, recitations and hands-on experiments. The verdict on active learning is in.

How Teachers Are Using Technology at Home and in Their Classrooms A survey of 2,462 Advanced Placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers finds that digital technologies have helped them in teaching their middle school and high school students in many ways. At the same time, the internet, mobile phones, and social media have brought new challenges to teachers. In addition, they report that there are striking differences in the role of technology in wealthier school districts compared with poorer school districts and that there are clear generational differences among teachers when it comes to their comfort with technology and its use in their classrooms. Asked about the impact of the internet and digital tools in their role as middle and high school educators, these teachers say the following about the overall impact on their teaching and their classroom work: AP and NWP teachers bring a wide variety of digital tools into the learning process, including mobile phones, tablets, and e-book readers About this Study The basics of the survey
