Concept

Teaching

Teaching is the practice implemented by a teacher aimed at transmitting skills (knowledge, know-how, and interpersonal skills) to a learner, a student, or any other audience in the context of an educational institution. Teaching is closely related to learning, the student's activity of appropriating this knowledge. Teaching is part of the broader concept of education.

Pedagogy

Pedagogy (ˈpɛdəɡɒdʒi,-ɡoʊdʒi,-ɡɒɡi), from Ancient Greek παιδαγωγία (paidagōgía), most commonly understood as the approach to teaching, is the theory and practice of learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political and psychological development of learners. Pedagogy, taken as an academic discipline, is the study of how knowledge and skills are imparted in an educational context, and it considers the interactions that take place during learning.

Lecture Notes on Multivariate Statistics

These are my lecture notes for the course Multivariate Analysis (MATH444) at EPFL. They have been developed and refined over three years of teaching the course and reflect both its structure and its emphasis as presented in class. They are not intended to serve as a comprehensive reference on multivariate statistics. Rather, their purpose is to provide a concise, coherent, and self-contained account of the material covered in the course. Throughout, proofs and examples have been selected with pedagogy in mi

The handwriting programming language for primary school: aligning computer science education with established teaching practices

Francesco Mondada

Generalist primary school computer science (CS) teachers are often reluctant to introduce CS activities that go beyond CS unplugged tasks. To address this challenge, we drew from constructive alignment principles to implement a new programming modality for primary school: the handwriting programming language (HPL). HPL brings programming activities closer to existing teaching practices by enabling students to write instructions on paper, take a picture, and have an agent execute them. HPL’s applicability in

A ROADMAP OF RESOURCE EDUCATION AS A KEY FACTOR FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF RESOURCE PRESERVATION AND EFFICIENCY

Natural resources, especially raw materials, are key production factors and therefore fundamental for our prosperity. A conserving and efficient treatment of natural resources will have to be a key competence of future societies. An important step to more resource efficiency is fostering public awareness and establishing a corresponding culture to protect resources. Under the basic idea of “Education for Resource Preservation and Efficiency “, a large research project in Germany called “BilRess” aims to con
