Learning spaceLearning space or learning setting refers to a physical setting for a learning environment, a place in which teaching and learning occur. The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom," but it may also refer to an indoor or outdoor location, either actual or virtual. Learning spaces are highly diverse in use, configuration, location, and educational institution. They support a variety of pedagogies, including quiet study, passive or active learning, kinesthetic or physical learning, vocational learning, experiential learning, and others.
Phenomenon-based learningPhenomenon-based learning (PhBL, PhenoBL or PBL) is a multidisciplinary, constructivist form of learning or pedagogy where students study a topic or concept in a holistic approach instead of in a subject-based approach. PhBL includes both topical learning (also known as topic-based learning or instruction), where the phenomenon studied is a specific topic, event, or fact, and thematic learning (also known as theme-based learning or instruction), where the phenomenon studied is a concept or idea.
Zone proximale de développementLa zone proximale de développement (ZPD), aussi traduit par « zone de proche développement » ou « zone de développement prochain » dans les traductions les plus récentes, est un concept issu du travail de Lev Vygotski sur le développement précoce de l'enfant. Ce concept suggère que les enfants sont aptes à mieux apprendre les problèmes et à s'améliorer davantage autour d'un enfant plus expérimenté, d'un parent ou d'un enseignant, plutôt que d'un enfant à leur niveau cognitif.
