Inquiry-based learningInquiry-based learning (also spelled as enquiry-based learning in British English) is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios. It contrasts with traditional education, which generally relies on the teacher presenting facts and their knowledge about the subject. Inquiry-based learning is often assisted by a facilitator rather than a lecturer. Inquirers will identify and research issues and questions to develop knowledge or solutions.
Programmes scolairesUn programme d'enseignement est un programme d'étude de différentes disciplines enseignées dans un établissement d'enseignement, qu'il soit public ou privé. Élaborer le programme, engager les consultations, organiser le soutien nécessaire, tout cela constitue un processus étalé sur plusieurs années. Les principales étapes en sont : la conception et la rédaction des programmes, qui comprennent des processus de relecture et d›approbation, et l’élaboration du soutien systémique connexe.
Education reformEducation reform is the name given to the goal of changing public education. The meaning and education methods have changed through debates over what content or experiences result in an educated individual or an educated society. Historically, the motivations for reform have not reflected the current needs of society. A consistent theme of reform includes the idea that large systematic changes to educational standards will produce social returns in citizens' health, wealth, and well-being.
Philosophie de l'éducationLa philosophie de l'éducation s'attache à comprendre la nature et les enjeux philosophiques de l'éducation, ainsi que ses implications sur le plan individuel et collectif. Elle soulève notamment des questions axiologiques (place de l’autorité) et politiques (formation du citoyen). La démarche philosophique est avant tout une démarche réflexive et conceptuelle.
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.
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.
Standardized testA standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or "standard", manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner. Any test in which the same test is given in the same manner to all test takers, and graded in the same manner for everyone, is a standardized test. Standardized tests do not need to be high-stakes tests, time-limited tests, or multiple-choice tests.
