Goals

To enable students to discover and critically discuss the most innovative concepts in higher education pedagogy, to give a personal account of them in relation to their practices and to use these conceptual reading grids to decode a teaching situation and suggest improvements;   
 
explain their personal conceptions of teaching and learning in higher education and compare them with the results of research in the field;  
 
analyse and put into perspective current pedagogical problems in higher education in the light of the reading grids proposed during the course.

Content

 The common thread of the course is the analysis of inequalities and power relations in higher education and the factors associated with them, on the part of students, teachers, institutions and their interactions. This theme is symptomatic of the challenges facing higher education and its internal tensions. It allows us to question current professional practices in higher education.
