Perspectives situées

Short Description:
« Le vrai, la vérité, c’est ce à quoi tendent tant les dénonciateurs que les whistleblowers, les gens à ‘‘franc-parler’’ et ceux qui pratiquent l’outing, les ‘‘rapporteurs et rapporteuses’’ de cours de récréation et les confessés des confessionnaux. Ces diseurs et diseuses de vérité, que tout sépare, ont cependant un objectif commun : révéler des informations, passer du caché au su, débusquer les secrets, les insus, les clandestinités. Autour de ces thématiques, mille choses, de toutes époques et de toutes cultures, pourraient être dites, et écrites », écrit Marie-Anne Paveau dans son appel d’œuvres de l’esprit pour meubler les murs de La Villa réflexive. Le présent ouvrage est le produit de cette expérimentation épistémologique sur la thématique du dire le vrai. Liés mais tout aussi indépendants les uns des autres, les chapitres sont écrits dans un style décolonial qui brise les codes de l’écriture positiviste pour proposer au lectorat un regard réflexif sur la vérité à partir de perspectives situées. Pour élargir l’horizon, le volume offre une pluralité de ressources multimodales (liens hypertextes, images, QR codes de vidéos et audios) qui peuvent être consultées aussi bien dans les versions numériques que papier.

Long Description:
Ever wondered what ‘teaching outside the box’ looks like? Disrupting Traditional Pedagogy: Active Learning in Practice answers this question by sharing real stories of innovation in active learning from a variety of contexts and disciplines. The central premise of active learning is that people learn best when they are actively involved in constructing, modelling or representing knowledge and skills, rather than being passive recipients of content as was commonplace in traditional top-down approaches to teaching.

This book is packed with practical ideas which are directly applicable to classroom instruction. However, it also challenges us to think honestly and critically about the successes and challenges of each approach. Every chapter contains a step-by-step guide on how we, as teaching practitioners, can develop similar tasks and environments in our contexts.

Drawing on the University of Sussex’s ‘disruptive by design’ philosophy, this book provides an eclectic anthology of real-life experiments in disrupting outmoded pedagogy. We have explored beyond the perimeters of teacher-centred learning and returned with maps that detail tested routes through the territory of active learning, but also pitfalls to avoid on your own journey.

What does ‘teaching beyond the box’ look like? Step outside with us and see for yourself.

ECE 1015

Short Description:
Diverse and inclusive practices is an ongoing process of recognizing and valuing the perspective of individual learners in all learning environments. Diverse and inclusive practices are not a set of ways to fix what or who doesn’t fit. It is not a reaction to different types of people. It is instead a conscious effort, making the space we share accessible to and representative of all. We cannot know what everyone will need to feel they belong, but we can share our diversity with pride and make space for conversations and actions to expand further. This open textbook is a guide to understanding how to support meaningful participation, make space for people and create engaging and welcoming learning environments.
