Pédagogies activesLa pédagogie active a pour objectif de rendre l'élève acteur de ses apprentissages. Si la pédagogie active est traduite dans le monde scientifique par le terme d'Active learning, l'expression dans le monde francophone peut également désigner les méthodes actives portées par des pédagogues comme Célestin Freinet et Maria Montessori.
Communauté en ligneUne communauté en ligne désigne « un groupement d’individus ayant des intérêts communs et interagissant entre eux, autour d’une activité particulière, par le biais de dispositifs sociotechniques connectés par le réseau internet » . Le terme « en ligne » signifie que les membres interagissent via internet. Le terme « communauté virtuelle » (virtual community) est attribué au livre du même nom publié en 1993 et écrit par Howard Rheingold.
Experiential learningExperiential learning (ExL) is the process of learning through experience, and is more narrowly defined as "learning through reflection on doing". Hands-on learning can be a form of experiential learning, but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning.
Virtual communityA virtual community is a social network of individuals who connect through specific social media, potentially crossing geographical and political boundaries in order to pursue mutual interests or goals. Some of the most pervasive virtual communities are online communities operating under social networking services. Howard Rheingold discussed virtual communities in his book, The Virtual Community, published in 1993. The book's discussion ranges from Rheingold's adventures on The WELL, computer-mediated communication, social groups and information science.
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.
Apprentissage par cœurvignette|250px|Un tableau de Nikolaos Gysis de 1883, « apprendre par cœur ». L'apprentissage par cœur ou par cœur est une technique de mémorisation basée sur la répétition. L'idée est que plus l'individu répète une notion, plus il va rapidement être en mesure de rappeler celle-ci. Certaines des alternatives à l'apprentissage par cœur comprennent l'apprentissage par le sens, l'apprentissage associatif, et l'apprentissage actif.
Online research communityAn online research community (part of Research 2.0) is a part of an emerging and developing area in market research making use of developments in Web 2.0 technologies and online communities. They allow qualitative research to be conducted efficiently and deeply online. Both public and private online communities offer opportunities for research, but many brands are wary of sharing company information openly. Invitation-only, private online communities centred on a single brand or customer segment may be the solution.
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.
Virtual community of practiceAn online community of practice (OCoP), also known as a virtual community of practice (VCoP), is a community of practice (CoP) that is developed on, and is maintained using the Internet. To qualify as an OCoP, the characteristics of a community of practice (CoP) as described by Lave and Wenger must be met. To this end, an OCoP must include active members who are practitioners, or "experts," in the specific domain of interest. Members must participate in a process of collective learning within their domain.
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.
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.
Technologies de l'éducationLes technologies de l'éducation (Edtech en anglais, pour Educational technology) désignent l'ensemble des nouvelles technologies permettant de faciliter l’enseignement et l'apprentissage. On parle alors de technologies pédagogiques qui permettent d'apprendre de nouveaux contenus sous une forme ludique, stimulante et innovante. Le terme Edtech, né de la contraction d'« éducation » et de « technologie », est apparu dans la littérature anglophone en 2010. Il est devenu populaire pour désigner les startups qui innovent au service de l'éducation.
