Learning unit contents

By taking advantage of the concerted contribution of various trends and approaches (cognitive psychology, social psychology, systemic approaches, constructivism, gestalt, language anthropology...), this course teaches students how to interpret and understand the diversity within adult learning processes and to envision how to take this diversity into account when developing training strategies and philosophies.

Beside the learning process of individuals, that of organizational systems is also covered.

The concept of learning process is also considered from the point of view of the transformation of individuals and systems.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The goal of the course is to teach students to identify, understand, analyze and utilize the various learning styles of individuals and systems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The provisional programme of sessions (subject to change depending on current events and student progress) includes a number of themes.

+ Practical applications of media observation (novels, videos, etc.) and a 'mock' examination session to familiarise students with the assessment method.

In addition to the course, 6 projects will be presented by students taking part in an international training course on the human dimensions of sustainable development projects. These participants come from a country in the southern hemisphere and have in common that they run projects that aim to improve the environment, which implies in particular that they lead actions of change and learning, two key themes of the course.

Throughout the course, the six projects will be presented, and students will be invited to comment on them in relation to the course. Video clips presented by the students themselves will also be available.

NB: these projects are different from those presented during the practical questions on conducting a training course.

Further information:

Individual written assessment in two parts:

The written assessment focuses on theories of adult learning and development (ADAD).

I. Part 1 of the written exam: analysis of film excerpts

The aim is to effectively apply the theories covered in class to interpret film excerpts. Specifically, after watching film excerpts, students will be asked to answer two questions. For the first question, a theory will be imposed and students will be asked to analyze the excerpts in light of this theory. For the second question, students will be asked to carry out the same interpretation work using a theory of their choice from two groups of approaches.

This first part accounts for 50% of the final grade.

II. Second part of the written exam: analysis of a development project

This involves making relevant use of a concept studied in class, chosen on the day of the exam, to analyze the development project assigned to each student at the beginning of the year.

This second part accounts for 50% of the final grade.

To prepare for the exam:
During the year, students will be required to individually compile a portfolio. Throughout the semester, they will be asked to complete assignments applying the theories and approaches to learning and human development developed during the course. These assignments will then be discussed in class with the professor.

This portfolio will help students work on the theory and provide other students with a learning resource.

This portfolio will not be assessed.
