Course contents :
 |
| The goal of this course is to reach a better understanding of training philosophies in their broadest meaning.
The challenge is to encourage students to apply a systemic approach to training, through pedagogic and didactic reflection.
Training philosophy in this context covers both organizational and public training philosophies.
In addition to the lectures themselves, trainers, political leaders and human resource managers will participate in the course by sharing and discussing their vision with the students. |
 |
Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
| This course aims at helping students to position themselves as thinkers, critics and participants regarding the questions of philosophies of adult training. The various objectives aim at allowing students to transition from logical thinking, based on pedagogical engineering, to a broader reflection on the philosophy of training, i.e. a realization of the systemic challenges of training.
Training philosophy in this context covers both organizational and public training philosophies.
More specifically, the course aims at teaching students to:
- understand and use tools to analyze training philosophies
- identify the strategic and ideological challenges of training philosophies
- understand the tensions that can exist between a specific training strategy, a pedagogical set-up, and the learners
- develop a thought process which takes into account the trainer, the learner, the training setup, the organizational, and the socio-political context
- understand the challenges of a training philosophy both at the organizational and public level
- be able to argue and take a position about a training philosophy
- be able to participate in the elaboration of a training philosophy
