Abstract

Pedagogy is at the heart of teaching and learning. Preparing young people to become lifelong learners with a deep knowledge of subject matter and a broad set of social skills requires a better understanding of how pedagogy influences learning. Focusing on pedagogies shifts the perception of teachers from technicians who strive to attain the education goals set by the curriculum to experts in the art and science of teaching. Seen through this lens, innovation in teaching becomes a problem-solving process rooted in teachers’ professionalism, rather than an add-on applied by only some teachers in some schools. Teachers as Designers of Learning Environments: The Importance of Innovative Pedagogies provides a snapshot of innovative pedagogies used in classrooms around the world. It sets the stage for educators and policy makers to innovate teaching by looking at what is currently taking place in schools as potential seeds for change. At the heart of all of these approaches is a sensitivity to the natural inclinations of learners towards play, creativity, collaboration and inquiry. To illustrate how teachers use these innovative practices, the publication presents examples from 27 national and international networks of schools. It is now generally acknowledged that the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers. This volume goes a step further to argue that a teacher cannot help students meet new educational challenges by continuing to draw on a limited and perhaps even inherited set of pedagogies. And here lies the genuine importance of innovative pedagogies.

Abstract

What do we know about how people learn? How do young people’s motivations and emotions influence their learning? What does research show to be the benefits of group work, formative assessments, technology applications, or project-based learning and when are they most effective? How is learning affected by family background? These are among the questions addressed for the OECD by leading researchers from North America and Europe. This book brings together the lessons of research on both the nature of learning and different educational applications, and it summarises these as seven key concluding principles. Among the contributors are Brigid Barron, Monique Boekaerts, Erik de Corte, Linda Darling-Hammond, Kurt Fischer, Andrew Furco, Richard Mayer, Lauren Resnick, Barbara Schneider, Robert Slavin, James Spillane, Elsbeth Stern and Dylan Wiliam. The Nature of Learning: Using Research to Inspire Practice is essential reading for all those interested in knowing what research has to say about how to optimise learning in classrooms, schools and other settings. It aims, first and foremost, to inform practice and educational reform. It will be of particular interest to teachers, education leaders, teacher educators, advisors and decision makers, as well as the research community

Abstract

Que savons-nous de la façon dont nous apprenons ? Quelle influence les motivations et les émotions des jeunes ont-elles sur leurs apprentissages ? Dans quelles circonstances le travail en groupe, l’évaluation formative ou les pédagogies par projet donnent-ils les meilleurs résultats ? Qu’en est-il de l’apprentissage à l’aide des technologies ou au sein de la famille ? Voilà quelques-unes des questions abordées pour l’OCDE par des chercheurs de premier plan d’Amérique du Nord et d’Europe, parmi lesquels Brigid Barron, Monique Boekaerts, Erik De Corte, Linda Darling-Hammond, Kurt Fischer, Andrew Furco, Richard Mayer, Lauren Resnick, Barbara Schneider, Robert Slavin, James Spillane, Elsbeth Stern et Dylan Wiliam. Réunissant les éclairages apportés par la recherche sur la nature de l’apprentissage et sur diverses applications éducatives, cet ouvrage en dégage sept principes fondamentaux. C’est une lecture incontournable pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à ce que la recherche a à dire sur l’optimisation des apprentissages en classe, à l’école et ailleurs. Visant avant tout à inspirer les pratiques et les réformes éducatives, il intéressera tout particulièrement les enseignants, les chefs d’établissement, les formateurs d’enseignants, les conseillers et décideurs ainsi que la communauté des chercheurs en sciences de l’éducation.
