Research in University Pedagogy
This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the training of academics through the prism of professionalization. The second part questions the teaching practices of academics from a disciplinary approach, from the point of view of the impact of the research discipline on the declared practices, or that of the links between the resources mobilized in research and teaching activities. The third part proposes a sociological look at these practices, in terms of the analysis of the discourses of institutional actors or of practices in situ. The book concludes with a synthesis that develops the main issues, challenges and difficulties that remain at the end of this book.
Evolutions of the Complex Relationship Between Education and Territories
The book weaves the story of the complex links between education and its territories. The aim here is to examine the education couple - understood in the broadest sense: school, college, high school, universities - and territory, according to three main axes: the history and the characterization of the different ties maintained And which the school and its territory always maintain; That of the categorization and characterization of the territories in which the school is situated, of the educational policies - both explicit and grassroots - connected with it and their effects on the school; That of recent pedagogical, didactic and organizational innovations. The book is based on French specialists in territorial education issues.

La coformation des enseignants
Durant quatre années, un groupe de chercheur.es a eu l'opportunité d'analyser le fonctionnement d'un collectif de professeur.es des écoles. Ces enseignant.es ont mis en œuvre leur propre coformation, en dehors de tout dispositif institutionnel ou associatif. Ils ont partagé leurs réunions et leurs outils avec les chercheur.es. Ces éléments ont été complétés par des journées de travail communes regroupant enseignant.es et chercheur.es, et par des entretiens, individuels et collectifs. L'ensemble de ces matériaux permet donc d'étudier le déploiement d'un processus de coformation, les conditions qui le favorisent, les façons dont les pratiques professionnelles sont évoquées, discutées, partagées. Cela donne aussi à voir l'importance de valeurs éducatives communes, notamment une vision partagée de ce que serait l école idéale. Cet ouvrage permet d'éclairer finement un processus de coformation, une dimension encore insuffisamment explorée de la formation des enseignant.es.
Choosing College
Cut through the noise and make better college and career choices This book is about addressing the college-choosing problem.

Once you know why, the book will help you make better choices. The research in this bo...
Virtual Training
Remote learning has been around since the 18th century. Caleb Phillips began advertising correspondence courses in the Boston Gazette in 1728 allowing people, for the first time, to learn new skills no matter where they lived. For the past 300 years, virtual training, in its various formats, has been meandering into shore on an inevitable yet slow building tide. And then, just like that, everything changed. A global pandemic. Social distancing. Working from home. In an instant, the tide became a tsunami. The global pandemic accelerated the broad adoption of virtual instructor led training along with awareness that classroom-based training is often expensive, inefficient, and fails to deliver...
