Learning unit contents
General philosophy: Introduction to the critical, efficient, and reasoned integration of digital technologies in education
3 main axes divided into 5 themes: didactics of educational technologies, knowledge mediation in Science of Education and digital literacy.
- Develop a reflective and critical approach to education and training in the digital age
- Question the diversity of dimensions and added value of an instrumented pedagogical device
- Question the digital transition of the school and university form
- Contribute to the techno-pedagogical appropriation and empowerment of (future) teachers
- Practice a variety of professional postures, teaching modalities and learning space arrangements via a diversity of pedagogical scenarios, in presence, online and through visits to other places.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
General objectives
Students will be able to :
- analyze the use of digital technology in teaching and training contexts based on the theoretical concept seen during the course
- master knowledge linked with digital technologies integration in education
- develop their own digital skills (PIX, ...)
- use digital tools critically and effectively for learning purposes.
Students will be able to :
- develop a critical approach, through a culture of doubt and controversy
- understand the concept of pedagogical innovation
- identify the added (and lost) values of digital technologies in education
- use a diverse range of empowering digital tools in an active pedagogical context, based on a variety of scenarios
- connect to the FWB's educational digital ecosystem: ADN, Ludovia, FMTTN, other places (non-exhaustive list).
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Know how to use a computer for office work and basic Internet browsing
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based, on the one hand, in the principle of pedagogical isomorphism, i.e. giving trainees learning experiences on which they will be able to base the design and facilitation of such activities with their (future) learners (e.g. use of various document editing, communication and sharing services, etc.) and, on the other hand, in the critical analysis, based on scientific literature, of tools and teaching-learning situations aimed at integrating digital technology in an educational context.
The methodology implemented in this course consists of :
- Individual and sub-group activities, mainly face-to-face
- Presentations by the teacher, mainly in the classroom
- Information exchange with supervisors via the eCampus platform and various digital WEB tools
- Diversity of pedagogical approaches (variety of scenarios, digital spaces and tools) including potential educational visits with travel (Ludovia, Salle VR...) and professional testimonials
A practical seminar, which is compulsory, is associated with this course.
- For students in the transitional program (for whom this course is worth 4 credits), this practical seminar is part of the course structure.
- For students in the new program (2025-2026) (for whom this course is worth 3 credits), this practical seminar corresponds to the PEDA4066-1 course and is worth 1 credit.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Blended learning
Further information:
Face-to-face (for the most part) and occasionally remotely
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus
Further information:
On eCampus, you'll find a course entitled "PEDA4032 - Introduction aux usages du numérique en éducation". This is the official course space. You'll find different types of resources throughout the course.
Written work / report
Other : Online PIX training
Further information:
1 - Assignment - report :
Evaluation is based on a integrative work. Students in groups (3 students) will have to film a learning activity integrating digital technologies, to edit a video and to analyze it in referring to different criteria seeing during the course. The instructor reserves the right to request an additional written assignment or oral examination from any group of students for which, after reading the integrative assignment, doubts remain regarding the involvement of all its members.
2 - Completion of an independent online training course on PIX
To develop their digital culture, students must individually complete a distance learning course on PIX certification platform. Demonstrating that the level expected by the teacher has been achieved validates the PIX course.
Validation requests the submission of both parts.
