Quelle est TA définition en quelques mots de la pédagogie/l’apprentissage ?

For me, learning is all about exploring and making sense of the world. The best way to accomplish that (pedagogy) is through engaging in problem solving.

Si la pédagogie/l’apprentissage était une personne, qui ce serait ? Et un film ?

Not just one person, but many people represent this eagerness to explain and explore all throughout their lives: Isaac Newton, Avicenna, Alfred Nobel to name a few. A very inspirational film about generating and using knowledge is “The Boy who Harnessed the Wind”.

As a student, my most memorable learning situation were whenever teachers would take us outside the classroom in order to put in practice things we learned inside the classroom.
