Journal Le fil Pour mieux comprendre le Programme de formation de l'école québécoise Le paradigme d'apprentissage par ANNIE PRESSEAU, professeure à l'UQTR L'implantation du programme que propose le ministère de l'Éducation du Québec (1999) provoque des réactions diverses de la part des enseignants. Cela n'est pas étonnant dans la mesure où le programme en question véhicule des idées nouvelles, dont certaines ne sont pas bien connues. Parmi les conceptions dominantes du programme, celle d'accorder la priorité à l'apprentissage plutôt qu'à l'enseignement est certes la plus notable. D'un paradigme à l'autre Le paradigme d'enseignement vise essentiellement l'acquisition de connaissances, sans se préoccuper d'une part du sens accordé par les élèves à ces dernières, ni, d'autre part, des possibilités qu'ils puissent les réutiliser dans d'autres contextes, que ce soit à l'école ou dans la vie courante. Le rôle de l'élève et celui de l'enseignant ou de l'enseignante Références Tardif, J. (1992).

Saturday Morning Scramble Write on Edge Prompt for RemembeRED One person’s Humpty Dumpty is another person’s omelet. In 400 words or less, write about a time when something was irrecoverably broken and the ensuing scramble. Saturday Morning Scramble The basement apartment was dark, and chilly early on Saturday mornings, so my 3-year-old brother and I would keep our footed pajamas on until after Saturday cartoons were over. Saturday arrived with no fanfare, but the television that had been missing in action was now sitting prominently on its stand again! "Look Dave, the TV is back," I said with a muffled squeal. "I want to watch Speed Racer," he said with excitement. "No, I want to see Tom and Jerry!" "You watch them all the time," he pouted. "They're not on all the time," I retorted. After a few loud screams, muffled by our own hands, my brother and I settled in to watch cartoons. "You BRAT, put that back on there now!" "Make me," he said defiantly. "What do you think she's going to do to us?"

The Personality Trait That Drives Creative Achievement How to Grow a Blog  Last month, in preparation for my K12Online Conference presentation , I re-read Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Good Business. Leadership, Flow, and the Making of Meaning . In it, he states that the experience of flow – when the person is totally immersed in an activity and genuinely enjoying the moment – comes from “the steps one takes toward attaining a goal, not from actually reaching it.” People often miss the opportunity to enjoy what they do because they focus all their attention on the outcome, rather than savoring the steps along the way. In education, however, the product – the grade, the final draft, the test mark – still often takes precedence over the process of learning – the sense of personal journey without which the final destination is meaningless. In my classroom – a predominantly blogging classroom – things have to be different. In order to create that classroom, however, I need to continue to tweak my classroom practice. Keep in mind, this is not easy.

EDU CERI Bookmark this page: www.oecd.org/edu/learningenvironments-fr Les jeunes apprennent dans un environnement plus innovant et dynamique. Aller à L’Univers des EPN pour en voir des examples! Au cours des dernières décennies, les systèmes économiques de l’OCDE ont connu une transformation rapide de leurs systèmes industriels vers des sociétés basées sur le savoir où l’apprentissage continu et l’innovation sont indispensables. Comment les écoles peuvent-elles être transformées aujourd’hui afin de devenir des environnements d’enseignement et d’apprentissage qui feront des individus des apprenants à long terme et les prépareront au 21ème siècle ? Telle est la question analysée par le projet ‘environnement d’apprentissage novateurs’. L’objectif de ce projet est d’informer le programme de réforme du système éducatif : Conférence internationale sur les environnements pédagogiques novateurs (EPN), Banff, Alberta (Canada), 10-12 octobre 2011 Documents de travail Publications Also Available

Feathers of Fluff One Mother's Day morning I happened upon a gaggle of goslings who were just old enough to be venturing out on their own. Shhhhhh, gosling sleeping. It was hard to tell which of the larger geese were the "Momma's" but it felt like a but of fluffy Mother's Day magick to me.
