Cet ouvrage collectif aborde la problématique de l'accompagnement professionnel dans le cadre d'un continuum de formation qui relève à la fois de la responsabilité des universités et du ministère de l'Education nationale. Il s'adresse aux concepteurs de formation et aux formateurs, impliqués dans la professionnalisation des enseignants du second degré et dans le développement professionnel des entrants dans le métier.

Throughout history, engineers have been defined as those who bring technological innovation to society. However, the concept of innovation and the role of the engineer are now changing as a result of globalization, the digital revolution, growing inequalities and environmental concerns. Training Engineers for Innovation therefore analyzes the ways in which the educational systems for engineers are adapting to these new demands, as well as the conditions in which this training has developed. This book brings together the works of a consortium of researchers dedicated to the subject area as part of the Innov’Ing 2020 project. Its contributors present various means to devise effective pedagogies adapted to a holistic approach to innovation which incorporates the technical, economic, social, ethical and environmental dimensions of engineering.

Comment former autrement en entreprise ? Comment mobiliser l'énergie humaine dans un projet éducatif professionnel ? L'auteur propose de revisiter les pratiques habituelles de formation et de concevoir des environnements pédagogiques innovants où il s'agit d'apprendre plutôt que d'" être enseigné ". L'individu n'est plus passif mais devient un véritable acteur face à son apprentissage. La première partie de l'ouvrage expose l'innovation en formation ; la deuxième la rend accessible à travers une trentaine de propositions concrètes (créer le sentiment d'unité par une performance artistique, organiser des universités mobiles, utiliser le e-learning et le Web 2 0, créer une université d'été, etc). Les exemples réels, les conseils et les exercices pratiques mettent à portée de main ces approches innovantes. Cet ouvrage intéressera particulièrement les formateurs, responsables et directeurs de formation qui souhaitent dynamiser l'apprentissage en entreprise, à commencer par celui des managers.

The concept of university language centres has changed in recent decades. Initially conceived as laboratories for practical and autonomous language-learning, they are now considered as places with more specific and complex functions in language teaching and learning. University language centres now constitute networks for exchanging knowledge and know-how in order to respond to ever-changing, multilingual and multicultural contexts. At the same time, the availability and acquisition of new technologies is contributing to the creation of new tools for the provision of appropriate services and training. This collection covers a wide range of topics related to the activities, experiences and applied research carried out in Italian university language centres. It provides further evidence of the important role university language centres play in promoting language expertise, developing tools and adopting digital resources, and providing support and training for language teaching. Technology, creativity, methodologies and plurilingualism are key topics in the book as they constitute the essential ingredients for effective and successful language teaching and learning. The volume’s thirty-three chapters provide multi-perspective approaches, showing how the real contexts of current language education need the integration of theoretical backgrounds with the best practices resulting from practical experience.

The controversies that have developed in recent years in the field of education and training around program and competency-based approaches are not without reminiscent of those which are at the origin of a reflection on the question of methods to monitor, control, organize and shape innovation in science and technology "and led to the emergence of the notion of responsibility for innovation and research "(Pellé & Reber, 2015). This book is clearly part of this type of approach. Starting from a current state of play on the issues and controversies raised by curricular and competency-based approaches (Chapters 1 and 2), this book aims at presenting new theoretical frameworks, allowing to account for the processes implied by the implementation of these pedagogical innovations and, in particular, those which, at the very heart of the skills mobilized, promote a "responsibility" dimension. Based on a developmental approach to individual and collective competencies and their evaluation (Chapters 3, 4 and 5), it attempts to show how this approach can mobilize educational practices on strong societal issues, such as "sustainable development "(Chapter 5). Lastly, it aims to provide theoretical and practical benchmarks to help engage educational teams and institutions in these innovative and responsible approaches by providing a coherent framework for doing so (Chapters 6, 7 and 8).
