Three aspects are developed in this course:
- Socio-cognitive interactions (group work and tutoring) - Socio-cognitive approaches of motivation and self-regulated learning - Socio-cognitive misunderstandings ("rapport au savoir" and students with learning difficulties)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Students will understand the theoretical foundations of various types of group work with the aim of identifying the benefits and limitations of each one.
They will understand socio-cognitive approaches of motivation in order to identify the variables upon which teachers can act in order to motivate students.
They will also better understand how some methodological choices can lead to socio-cognitive misunderstandings and they will identify didactic avenues aiming to help pupils to really understand the cognitive challenges of Learning.

They will be able to take advantage of the theoretical contributions to analyze teaching practices and to design improvements and/or innovations in teaching.
