Teaching assistantA teaching assistant or teacher's aide (TA) or education assistant (EA) or team teacher (TT) is an individual who assists a teacher with instructional responsibilities. TAs include graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), who are graduate students; undergraduate teaching assistants (UTAs), who are undergraduate students; secondary school TAs, who are either high school students or adults; and elementary school TAs, who are adults (also known as paraprofessional educators or teacher's aides).
Student teacherA student teacher or prac teacher (practice teacher) is a college, university or graduate student who is teaching under the supervision of a certified teacher in order to qualify for a degree in education. The term is also often used interchangeably with pre-service teacher. It is a much broader term to include those students that are studying the required coursework in pedagogy, as well as their specialty, but have not entered the supervised teaching portion of their training.
Asynchronous learningAsynchronous learning is a general term used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time. It uses resources that facilitate information sharing outside the constraints of time and place among a network of people. In many instances, well-constructed asynchronous learning is based on constructivist theory, a student-centered approach that emphasizes the importance of peer-to-peer interactions.
Instruction à domicileL’instruction à domicile ou instruction en famille (IEF) (en anglais, homeschooling) est une situation de d'instruction ou d'enseignement alternative proposée par les parents à leurs enfants, qui se déroule au sein du foyer. Encore méconnu en France et dans les pays latins, ce mode d'instruction prend une importance notable et croissante dans les pays anglo-saxons (Royaume-Uni, États-Unis, Nouvelle-Zélande, Irlande) depuis la fin des années 1980. Ce terme est difficile à définir car il englobe plusieurs philosophies et pratiques très variées.
Certified teacherA certified teacher is an educator who has earned credentials from an authoritative source, such as the government, a higher education institution or a private body or source. This teacher qualification gives a teacher authorization to teach and grade in pre-schools, primary or secondary education in countries, schools, content areas or curricula where authorization is required. While many authorizing entities require student teaching experience before earning teacher certification, routes vary from country to country.
Executive educationExecutive education (ExEd or Exec. Ed) refers to academic programs at graduate-level business schools for executives, business leaders and managers, globally. These programs are generally non-credit and non-degree-granting, but sometimes lead to certificates, and some offer continuing education units accepted by professional bodies and institutes. Estimates by Business Week magazine suggest that executive education in the United States is an $800 million annual business, with approximately 80% provided by university-based business schools.
AcadémieUne Académie est une assemblée de gens de lettres, de savants ou d’artistes reconnus par leurs pairs. Ces dites assemblées ont pour mission de veiller aux règles, codes et usages dans leurs disciplines. Pour ce faire, les académies publient des ouvrages tels que des dictionnaires, des grammaires, etc. Ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que les écoles publiques ne sont pas l'invention de l'ère chrétienne.
Postgraduate educationPostgraduate education, graduate education, or grad school, refers to academic or professional degrees, certificates, diplomas, or other qualifications usually pursued by post-secondary students who have earned an undergraduate (bachelor's) degree. The organization and structure of postgraduate education varies in different countries, as well as in different institutions within countries.
ÉtudiantUn étudiant ou une étudiante est un mot dérivé du latin studere qui signifie « s'appliquer à apprendre quelque chose ». Cependant, le terme ne s'applique pas à toute personne qui apprend. On le réserve généralement aux personnes intégrées dans un parcours scolaire ou universitaire. Dans la plupart des pays francophones, l'usage du mot « étudiant » est encore plus restreint. Le plus couramment, il désigne les personnes engagées dans un cursus d'enseignement supérieur.
Éducation ouverteLéducation ouverte, ou la pédagogie ouverte, est un mouvement éducatif fondé sur l'ouverture, qui entretient des liens avec d'autres mouvements éducatifs tels que la pédagogie critique. Elle est également basée sur une position éducative qui favorise l'élargissement de la participation et de l'inclusion dans la société. L'éducation ouverte élargit l'accès à l'apprentissage et à la formation traditionnellement offerts par les systèmes d'éducation formelle et est généralement offerte par le biais de l'enseignement en ligne et à distance.
