Presently, the main challenges in education are related to improving the quality of the teaching-learning process in all forms of schooling within educational institutions and rapidly adjusting to the current changes in the digital society. The two challenges are focused on three main axes: teachers’ training, students’ training and educational institutions’ development. Furthermore, the poor results obtained by students in the PISA tests draw attention to the necessity of implementing efficient and innovative teaching-learning methods to improve learning outcomes. The project aims to strengthen networking between the field, training and research. The global methodology is a participatory action research including a research based design approach. We will use debate, debriefing and piloting methods for scenario co-design, implementation and co- analysis, the observations in class, and questionnaires survey for statistical analysis using SPSS.
My teaching career started more than 20 years ago and I have been teaching geography in upper secondary school ever since. In the 21st century, being a teacher is a challenge as well as a vocation. This is why I have paid special attention to my continuous training and have always wanted to adapt to the knowledge and information society in which we live. I have always tried to improve my expertise, my teaching and digital skills so that I can face the challenges of today’s educational environment. I combine classroom teaching with applied research and my latest research focuses on Geography teaching-learning strategies using digital media. Within this context, the research ,, La collaboration de l’enseignant pour l’acquisition des compétences fondamentales de l’étudiant en géographie par l’apprentissage coopératif : une perspective transdisciplinaire internationale” obtained European funding Horizon 2020 under the Marie Skłodowska Curie grant.
