Why an iEARN project? iEARN projects create a real audience for students because they involve collaborating with students in another country; this audience plays a key role in student motivation.
Pourquoi utiliser la gamification dans l’enseignement ? Après avoir envahi la formation professionnelle, le gaming (jeu) se développe de manière exponentielle dans l’enseignement avec l’utilisation de plus en plus répandue des Serious Games en classe. Alors qu’il est scientifiquement prouvé que la gamification dans l’enseignement facilite la rétention d’information et l’assimilation de l’apprentissage, en quoi est-il efficace pour les apprenants ? La gamification dans l’enseignement stimule les performances des élèves Tout simplement, la gamification dans l’enseignement stimule le plaisir d’apprendre. En soi c’est un avantage important. La gamification bannit l’échec Le jeu possède cette rare faculté de pouvoir offrir une seconde chance avec la possibilité de recommencer une activité qui semble être ratée, plutôt que de ressasser un échec qui est souvent démotivant. Le jeu favorise « biologiquement » l’apprentissage Comprendre et retenir l’information. Le jeu favorise « physiquement » l’apprentissage Commentaires commentaires
Lettre ouverte pour un Plan "Marshall" européen de l'éducation et de la formation pour éviter l'effondrement socio-économique Chers Ursula von der Leyen, David Sassoli, Charles Michel, Christine Lagarde, Mario Centeno, Werner Hoyer, et tous les représentants nationaux et européens souhaitant agir dès maintenant. Cette pétition vous est adressée par EU Resilience Collective Les analyses prospectives sont toutes très claires : le Covid-19 provoque une crise économique sans précédent et une vague de chômage dont on sait déjà combien elle sera longue, fastidieuse et onéreuse à résorber. L'Organisation Internationale du Travail anticipe une perte de 12 millions d'emploi pour l'Europe en 2020. Dans ce scénario, la population reste active, incluse et investie plutôt que laissée en attente et en insécurité dans une processus de dévalorisation et de marginalisation (caractéristiques du chômage).Il s'agira également de favoriser l'innovation pédagogique vers des formats hybrides, tournés vers l'avenir, couplant savoir, créativité, expérimentation et incubation de projets.
Datafiction – Thomas Thibault Datafiction est un projet imaginé avec Nolwenn Maudet et initié dans le cadre du concours MesInfos. Pensé pour faire prendre conscience de l’existence des données personnelles aux novices et aux jeunes, Datafiction leur fait incarner des personnages à travers différents scénarios en utilisant leurs données personnelles. En tant que designers et citoyens concernés par le sujet des données personnelles, nous avons fait le constat d’un chaînon manquant entre l’information aux enjeux des données personnelles et l’utilisation d’outils concrets de maîtrise de sa vie privée, en particulier pour les jeunes usagers. Nous avons alors pensé DataFiction comme l’outil que nous aurions aimé utiliser pour nous sensibiliser et reprendre le contrôle sur nos données personnelles.
How to Build Resilience in Kids It’s not easy to see your child have a setback, especially after your child has worked really hard. But facing challenges and learning from them can have an upside. It can help your child build resilience. Resilience is a life skill that can be taught. Learn more about what resilience means, how the concept of resilience has changed over time, and how to help your child develop resilience. The Old Way of Thinking About Resilience Researchers know resilience is important. For decades, resilience was seen as the ability to recover from disaster and hardship. Families typically viewed resilience in a similar way. The New Way of Thinking About Resilience Today, resilience has a much broader meaning. It’s not limited to tragedies or major life events, either. For instance, if kids fall off their bicycle after hitting a rock in the road, they may become more careful about watching for obstacles. Using everyday setbacks to explore new and better ways to approach things helps all kids.
