Le brevet, et après? On vient de l’apprendre : 800 000 élèves étaient inscrits l'an dernier au diplôme national du brevet, 780 000 candidats se sont effectivement présentés à l’examen, près de 85 % d'entre eux l'ont réussi. Fort bien ? Le « Diplôme national du brevet » actuel est le résultat d’une histoire foncièrement compliquée et embarrassée ( d’où les multiples appellations et formes du « brevet » qui se sont succédées au cours du temps ), une histoire qui s’est davantage encore ‘’emballée’’ ces dernières années au point que l’on a abouti à un montage tout à fait composite et intenable où différentes ‘’strates’’ se juxtaposent sans se conjuguer. Au cours du temps, le lien du « brevet » avec l’accès à certaines professions s’est nettement distendu. Tout cela pour qui ?

A Model School Focuses on Students Taking Global Action John Stanford International School has been a model for developing global awareness curricula. Now they've expanded their lessons to teach students how to take action to help others. The Green Team (above) is just one of the ways that students at John Stanford International School take action to help address global issues.

Flags from around the world brighten the hallways and library. Beneath the colorful, multicultural surface of JSIS, there's more going on than meets the eye -- or ear.

Vous avez dit…Approche par compétence | Tice-pro Je vous propose un résumé des excellents travaux de M. Henri Boudreault professeur à L’UQAM (Canada). Il est question d’un modèle d’apprentissage basé sur le développement des compétences dans un contexte de formation professionnelle et technique. L’écart est souvent grand entre la formation dispensée au sein des établissements de formation et le milieu du travail. Cet article qui n’est qu’un modeste résumé des travaux de M. Bourdreault vous donnera quelques pistes de réflexions. En deux mots un enseignant doit être capable de distinguer les objets d’apprentissage d’une formation, être capable de développer les concepts liés et de les rendre perceptibles et compréhensibles. 1) La compétence professionnelle c’est quoi ??? La compétence professionnelle est au-delà de la simple acquisition de connaissances ou du développement d’habiletés. 2) Les 4 étapes de la compétence Etape 1 : L’exploration faire prendre conscience de ce qu’il reste à découvrir, susciter l’envie.

Students Put Global Skills to Work This is the second of a two-part series about the Global Student Leaders Summit in Shanghai that brought together several hundred students from the United States and China in March. Developed by EF Educational Tours, the event offers teens an immersive experience in cross-cultural collaboration. Read about the global education themes that emerged at the summit in in my earlier post. Today, some American students offer their reflections about how experiences like this help to prepare them for the challenges ahead. The Global Student Leaders Summit brought together high school students from 26 U.S. states, 16 cities from across China, plus a smattering of other locations. Although participants traveled to Shanghai with classmates and teachers from their own schools, they were matched with new faces during the summit.

Les tâches complexes : le plein de ressources ! Depuis la loi de 2005 instituant le socle commun, les enseignants ont été incités à recourir aux tâches complexes dans leurs classes. Si l’étiquette était nouvelle, cette pratique pédagogique était déjà présente dans la boîte à outils de certains enseignants. Élaborer une tâche complexe, c’est mettre les élèves en situation pour qu’ils analysent et résolvent un problème. travailler et acquérir des compétences du socle commun.mener une pédagogie différenciée et vivante (où le travail en groupes/oral a la place qu’il mérite) Confronter à une situation-problème, l’élève doit relever un défi : au cours de la séance, l’élève essaye, se trompe, confronte sa vision avec les camarades de son groupe et finalise son travail par une production écrite ou orale.

A Global View: The Adventure of Kid-Friendly Foreign Films Image credit: iStockphoto For many of us, Oscar week can serve as the annual reminder of how many great grown-up films we have yet to see, and how many kids' movies we've already seen -- over and over and over. Next time you're faced with indoor recess or a snow day, movie night or a free period before a holiday, resist the temptation to pop in Finding Nemo or Shrek (though I love these, too), and use the opportunity to take a journey around the world. Of all the great global learning tools out there, films from diverse countries are among of my very favorites. The Benefits of Active Viewing First and foremost, a good movie draws us in, and we simply enjoy the experience. Pre-screen movie trailers or short clips, easily accessible through YouTube or Vimeo, and archive your favorites to fill a gap on a rainy day or to weave into literature, social studies, music, art or science lessons. Don't shy away from subtitles, either. 6 Foreign Films for Every Classroom Ponyo (all ages)

Comment j’ai mis le socle commun en place Pour vous quand a commencé le socle ? Roseline Ndiaye Pour moi le socle a commencé en 2006 : quand j’ai vu le texte ministériel, j’ai compris que c’était une chance. Il correspondait à ce que j’attendais depuis longtemps. Et alors comment avez-vous mis en relation compétence et socle ? Quand en 2006 les compétences sont arrivées, difficile de s’y retrouver entre savoir faire et connaissances, chacun y allait de sa grille, bien sur illisible par les élèves vu le nombre d’item à tester. Mais ils n’avaient pas conscience que la grille n’est qu’un outil d’évaluation et qu’elle ne sert a rien si l’on n’évalue pas des compétences. Et les compétences dans l’affaire ? Vous me voyez donc désappointée dans mes compétences qui n’en sont pas. On est donc bien dans l’interdisciplinarité ? Bien sur !

The Best Sites For Learning About The World’s Different Cultures I’ve compiled several “The Best…” lists that sites where you can learn about the geography, data, languages, and holidays of different countries around the world. Those resources are important, but I think it’s like learning the words, but not the music, of a song. So I thought I’d develop a separate list just focused on helping students learn about the cultures of different countries, and would love to hear additional suggestions. You might also be interested in The Best Travel Photographs Of The Year. Here are my choices for The Best Sites For Learning About The World’s Different Cultures (and are accessible to English Language Learners): Culture Crossing is a unique resource for information about different countries. What The World Eats is a TIME Magazine slideshow with family photos from around the world and the food they eat. Food Photos is a similar slideshow from NPR. Learn about Celebrations Around The World. EL Civics has a nice lesson on Clothes Around The World. U.S. via Pimsleur

Bac, brevet : comment aider ses élèves à gérer leur stress Lise Bartoli, psy­cho­logue clinicienne. Sommeil agité, mains moites, esto­mac noué, gorge sèche... Autant de mani­fes­ta­tions du stress dont sont vic­times de nom­breux élèves à l'approche des exa­mens de fin d'année. Marie Choquet, épidé­mio­lo­giste, psy­cho­logue et direc­teur de recherche hono­raire à l'Inserm, constate une aug­men­ta­tion du stress sco­laire. Selon cette spé­cia­liste de l'adolescence, il existe « un culte du stress sco­laire admis comme un remède à la fai­néan­tise, en France plus qu'ailleurs ». Lise Bartoli, psy­cho­logue cli­ni­cienne, admet qu'un peu de stress peut per­mettre d'aider les élèves à mobi­li­ser leurs connais­sances. « Mais, précise-t-elle, les ensei­gnants devraient tou­jours moti­ver ver­ba­le­ment leurs élèves.

Science, ICT, and the Global Classroom (Crowd-Sourced Notes) Digital Badge Design Principles for Recognizing Learning Cross-posted at Remediating Assessment by Andi Rehak and Daniel Hickey This post introduces the design principles for recognizing learning that are emerging from the Design Principles Documentation Project (DPD). A previous post summarized how the DPD project derived these principles. First and foremost, digital badges serve to recognize some learning or accomplishment. In more formal educational contexts, this practice is usually called "credentialing." Our Process for Identifying these Principles We first identified the intended practices for recognizing learning in each project's proposal. This resulted in the preliminary set of design principles listed below, starting with the ones that were most widely represented. Nine Principles for Recognizing Learning with Digital Badges The following principles are ordered by prevalence in the current badging practices of the DML Competition 4: Badges for Lifelong Learning awardees . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

3 Great Films for Teaching About Globalization and Modernization Scene from the Iranian film "Children of Heaven." Photo Credit: Miramax Films With the advent of modern mass communication and world tourism, dramatic change has come to nations and cultures which had previously seen little change for centuries. Each technological or social innovation has brought unexpected and unintended consequences. One of the challenges of teaching global issues in middle or high school is helping students grasp abstract economic concepts like globalization and modernization. A well-chosen film, watched actively and with supporting curriculum, can make the difference in helping students understand how these abstract processes work out in human terms. Irrevocably Connected Globalization is used here to signify the worldwide integration of previously distinct cultures and economies and the consequent exchange of products, ideas and methods of operation. All these examples come from the United States. Journeys in Film Scene from "The Cup" Credit: Fine Line Features

The Dark History of the Multiple-Choice Test Figure 1. Robert Yerkes' multiple-choice testing apparatus (Division of Historical Scientific Instruments, YPM, 15001.A) is an authentic device that measures 16 x 24 inches and is made of wood and brass. A vertical wooden partition separated the experimenter and the subject. Figure 1 shows the experimenter's side of the device. I don’t need to tell you, but the United States is one of the most tested countries in the world, and the weapon of choice is the multiple-choice test. Testing Testing 1-2-3 Most of us have experienced a multiple-choice test. Multiple-choice tests had their origin in World War I, when Dr. A total of 1.7 million recruits were tested, giving the multiple-choice test an air of legitimacy, but in the end, the Army found no value in the results. Without much of a whimper, the general public accepted these tests, which increased the esteem of the psychological profession and secured its services in education and industry. A Predicted Result He was absolutely right!
