En matière de pédagogie, chaque mois, chaque année apportent leur moisson de nouveaux concepts... et si l'on ne perçoit pas toujours ce qui, dans cet ensemble, peut être utile : on ne voit guère comment les concepts ont émergé, qu'est-ce qu'ils permettent de comprendre et en quoi ils sont opérationnels. C'est pourquoi il manquait un véritable outil de travail aux différents partenaires de l'institution scolaire - étudiants, chercheurs, enseignants, formateurs et responsables administratifs - qui souhaitent se familiariser avec les connaissances importantes en matière de pédagogie et de psychologie. Pour commencer, une introduction très vivante, sous forme de dialogue socratique, apporte un fil conducteur et permet d'aborder ce dictionnaire avec une vision générale de la pédagogie depuis le début du XXe siècle. Ce livre articule trois questions simples : qu'est-ce qu'apprendre ? comment enseigner ou former ? et quelles sont les réponses actuellement disponibles sur le sujet ? Pour cela il mobilise tous les travaux existants et présents avec clarté et précision les auteurs, les théories et leurs applications concrètes. Voici donc une " interface conviviale ", capable d'offrir des réponses aux questions légitimes que se pose le " novice " et de l'orienter, s'il le désire, vers les ouvrages spécialisés de " l'expert ". Voici un outil essentiel pour le chercheur qui veut informer et. appuyer ses travaux sur des références solides. Voici un véritable livre de chevet pour tous ceux que passionnent les questions éducatives et qui iront ici de découverte en découverte. En bref, quiconque souhaite affermir ses connaissances en pédagogie et en psychologie appréciera cette formidable " base de données "et y trouvera, sans nul doute, l'envie d'aller plus loin et les moyens de s'y rendre. Car, comme l'indique Marcel Postic dans la préface : " Cet ouvrage n'est pas un dictionnaire encyclopédique à placer sur le rayonnage d'une bibliothèque et à consulter occasionnellement. Il est l'outil de travail permanent de l'enseignant et du formateur, indispensable pour concevoir des stratégies pédagogiques."

As modern technologies continue to develop and evolve, the ability of users to interface with new systems becomes a paramount concern. Research into new ways for humans to make use of advanced computers and other such technologies is necessary to fully realize the potential of 21st century tools. Human-Computer Interaction: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications gathers research on user interfaces for advanced technologies and how these interfaces can facilitate new developments in the fields of robotics, assistive technologies, and computational intelligence. This four-volume reference contains cutting-edge research for computer scientists; faculty and students of robotics, digital science, and networked communications; and clinicians invested in assistive technologies. This seminal reference work includes chapters on topics pertaining to system usability, interactive design, mobile interfaces, virtual worlds, and more.

Using a frame of reference developed in the field of education, this book proposes eight professional competencies required to accompany change. Practiced in context, in interaction with others, and in harmony with the workplace, with its specific culture and ways of doing things, these competencies deal both with the type of accompaniment to use and the professional collaboration that should be developed, as well as the affective aspects of taking action and exercising professional judgment. They emerge in an integrated and complementary way from the reflective practice of the accompaniment providers who help those they accompany to engage in such practice.

Piano Pedagogy: A Research and Information Guide provides a detailed outline of resources available for research and/or training in piano pedagogy. Like its companion volumes in the Routledge Music Bibliographies series, it serves beginning and advanced students and scholars as a basic guide to current research in the field. The book will includes bibliographies, research guides, encyclopedias, works from other disciplines that are related to piano pedagogy, current sources spanning all formats, including books, journals, audio and video recordings, and electronic sources.

Once considered the traditional approach to education, brick and mortar institutions are no longer the norm due to e-learning technologies. Populations are turning into ubiquitous human beings, and educational practices are reflecting this change. E-Learning 2.0 Technologies and Web Applications in Higher Education compiles the latest empirical research findings in the area of e-learning and knowledge management technologies assessment. Highlighting specific comparisons and practices of e-m-learning and knowledge management technologies, this book is an essential guide for professionals and academics who want to improve their understanding of the strategic role of e-learning at different levels of the information and knowledge society.

This guide complements the booksProfessional Competencies for Accompanying Change. A Frame of Reference and Professional Accompaniment Model for Change. For Innovative Leadership.Divided into two parts, it deals first with the change accompaniment model and then covers the professional competencies frame of reference. Each section contains excerpts and diagrams from the above works as well as suggested tasks to carry out in order to apply the material in the books. The glossary at the end of the guide further explains and contextualizes the terms and concepts in the model and frame of reference. The guide is intended for anyone who wishes to use the competency frame of reference and the accompaniment model. You will find ideas to spur reflection and help you develop your own ways of accompanying others."
