Personalized learningPersonalized learning, individualized instruction, personal learning environment and direct instruction all refer to efforts to tailor education to meet the different needs of students. The use of the term "personalized learning" dates back to at least the early 1960s, but there is no widespread agreement on the definition and components of a personal learning environment. Even enthusiasts for the concept admit that personal learning is an evolving term and doesn't have any widely accepted definition.
Apprentissage hybridevignette|Illustration de l'apprentissage hybride qui consiste à combiner les séquences de formation en ligne L'apprentissage hybride ou mixte (en anglais « en ») est une formule pédagogique qui résulte d’une combinaison de séquences de formation en ligne (e-learning) et de formation en présentiel. Elle offre certains avantages comme un espace de travail plus collaboratif pour les apprenants. L’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication donne l’opportunité à l’apprenant d’avoir, dans une certaine mesure, un contrôle sur le temps, le lieu, les moyens et la vitesse.
Lifelong learningLifelong learning is the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated" pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. It is important for an individual's competitiveness and employability, but also enhances social inclusion, active citizenship, and personal development. In some contexts, the term "lifelong learning" evolved from the term "life-long learners", created by Leslie Watkins and used by Clint Taylor, professor at CSULA and Superintendent for the Temple City Unified School District, in the district's mission statement in 1993, the term recognizes that learning is not confined to childhood or the classroom but takes place throughout life and in a range of situations.
Progressive educationProgressive education, or educational progressivism, is a pedagogical movement that began in the late 19th century and has persisted in various forms to the present. In Europe, progressive education took the form of the New Education Movement. The term progressive was engaged to distinguish this education from the traditional curricula of the 19th century, which was rooted in classical preparation for the early-industrial university and strongly differentiated by social class.
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.
Online schoolAn online school (virtual school, e-school, or cyber-school) teaches students entirely or primarily online or through the Internet. It has been defined as "education that uses one or more technologies to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive interaction between the students. Online education exists all around the world and is used for all levels of education (K-12 High school/secondary school, college, or graduate school).
Non-scolarisationLa non-scolarisation (en anglais : unschooling) est une méthode et une philosophie d'éducation qui emploie et soutient les activités librement motivées des enfants comme moyen premier d'apprentissage de la vie et des compétences. Les jeunes non-scolarisés apprennent des expériences naturelles de la vie, du jeu sous toutes ses formes, des relations humaines et sociales, des livres et d'internet, de la formation professionnelle, du tutorage et du travail... voire de cours ou études supérieures ordinaires choisis librement.
Student-centered learningStudent-centered learning, also known as learner-centered education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student. In original usage, student-centered learning aims to develop learner autonomy and independence by putting responsibility for the learning path in the hands of students by imparting to them skills, and the basis on how to learn a specific subject and schemata required to measure up to the specific performance requirement.
