How does Université Paris-Saclay support pedagogical transformation and innovation to prepare for the future of education?
Résumé
The Université Paris-Saclay integrates in its strategic plan the importance of supporting
pedagogical transformation and innovations aimed at the continuous improvement of
education and training, student success and actors in professional development.
Its Education Department is committed to a proactive policy of providing incentives through a
range of complementary actions. For several years now, it has encouraged a collective
dynamic in order, on the one hand, to offer times for inter-institutional sharing of these
teaching experiences, and, on the other hand, to provide financial support for numerous
transformative initiatives. It is also very dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of
individual and collective successes related to pedagogy.
Several structuring actions are carried out to support pedagogical transformation: setting up
a working group, creating a specific mission, allocating a budget, organising an annual
pedagogical day and thematic workshops, supporting innovative projects, training for new
teachers as soon as they are recruited, accompanying the deployment of the competencybased
approach, creating a chair of action-research in pedagogy, communicating and
publishing.
This paper (adapted from the original poster) focuses on the support of innovative projects.
