La participation constructive collaborative mixte : un modèle pour l’enseignement à l’Université

30 Novembre 2011

Le modèle de participation constructive collaborative mixte (Blended Collaborative Constructive Participation, ou BCCP) est un modèle créé pour l’enseignement universitaire à l’issue de six années d’expérimentation.

À l’aide d’une structure flexible et de six types d’activités, il vise à mettre en pratique une série de principes pédagogiques déjà bien établis, comme les communautés d’apprenants, les communautés de pratique, la dimension socioconstructiviste, la perspective dialogique, et la « construction » de connaissances.

 

Un système à trois niveaux est présenté comme outil d’évaluation pour les débats organisés en ligne autour des contenus du cours. Ce système est conçu pour que les enseignants et les étudiants puissent suivre la discussion et alimenter le débat.

All know that societal change affects our modern society with very strong repercussion for our educational system. However, many people experience change in compartmentalised, separate and seemingly independent ways. Most live in medias res i.e., not grasping the whole picture and having no view on the interconnected whole. With familiar and traditional structures vanishing, many in education feel disoriented and are left disempowered. To counter the problems of our modern time, there is an urgent need to frame the developments more coherently and provide a systemic response, a response which incorporates the best of learning. Systemic innovation intends to revisit and restructure the organisation of the educational ecosystem, i.e., educational processes, stakeholder models and funding systems, in light of a much broader discussion to move onward. Debating the restructuring of education in view of systemic change, must be done with open eyes to all interests, for change to be forged and results to cater proficiency and prosperity. Priorities for systemic innovation must be addressed in accordance with society, i.e., the anticipated strengths and weaknesses of civil society, government, education and business. Lessons must be learned from paradigmatic change in such industries as IT and telecom; witnessing both intensive competition as well as cooperation between old and new players, including acts of takeovers and mergers. To influence the developments in education and overcoming an innovation gap, proactive measures must be taken: support must be gained to dynamically configure networks for systemic innovation throughout different sectors of education. It is the prelude to a much wider appeal to join forces: forge action, gain momentum and shift paradigm.

01 juillet 2011

eLearning Papers seeks contributions about social networking and social software to supporting learning in both sections: In-Depth and From the Field. Deadline for submissions: September 09, 2011. Publication: October 2011.

The rapid emergence of social computing applications is changing the ways people connect with each other, as well as how they exchange and create knowledge. In particular, young people entering higher education are integrating ICT seamlessly into their everyday life and expect their educational institutions to support their digital lifestyle. Use of social software in combination with open content to support learning is a phenomenon largely emerging from outside educational institutions.

-Innovative social computing technologies, applications, tools and environments for supporting learning

-Tools for supporting group-learning

-Case studies and best practices in social networking supported learning
