Learning unit contents
Higher Education Pedagogy (HEP) is still a pretty young research field in Belgium. It is, however, enriched by numerous publications, specialized international conferences and a very important reflexive activity
The students will discover, through this course, the specific function of "Developer" (D) in Higher Education.
Please note that this function is to be differentiated from that in the context of primary or secondary education: it is organized through reference grids, activities and missions specific to the context of higher education.
This course offers participants :
- to discover the reality of HE developers through reading and participating in activities and seminars/webinars ;
- to scientifically contribute to the field of HEP, in different ways from year to year.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Through its learning and evaluation situations, similar to those in which a developer is supposed to act, the course will contribute to the development of the first competence of the referential of the ULIège Master, slightly modified (by the teacher) as follows: "Analyze education / training situations by referring to conceptual frameworks from the interdisciplinary field of educational sciences (models, existing literature), taking into account the contexts and the different actors of these situations (ages, places of life and training, functioning systems, meaning for every actor) and adopting an ethical and responsible posture. "
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The QAPES-partim1 course is a co-requisite for the participants who don't have any experience as teachers or developers in higher education.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Depending on the number of participants, students will work alone or in small groups, although the first steps of their work will remain individual. They will read several chapters of a reference manual and interact with professional developers.
In order for them to deepen the topic they have chosen, students will read and document their ideas (articles, conference proceedings, books, professional testimonials, online sites) and participate in internal seminars (partly online).
