The Service Universitaire de Pédagogie (SUP) Persae'Val was created in 2016 and is part of the network of SUP.
The service has been supported by competency-based approach pedagogy project manager Vanessa Marescot since 2016. As part of ongoing teacher training, it offers in-house reflexive workshops and reflexive days hosting researchers working on university pedagogy.
SUP mission statement
The department was able to welcome:
- Denis Berthiaume (2016): Teaching and learning at the heart of the university mission (Inauguration of the service)
- Christelle Lison (2017): Evaluation of learning
- Marcel Lebrun (2018): Flipped classes: fad or opportunity?
- Christelle Lison (2020): L'Approche par compétences pour redonner du sens aux apprentissages and Et si je pouvait valoriser ma pédagogie autant que ma recherche
Persae'Val works closely with the DNum on pedagogy-related projects.
Since 2018, it has been in charge of training aimed at deepening the pedagogical skills of trainee lecturers (Order of 8 February 2018).
Focus on the " MCU stagiaires" scheme
The aim of this program is to help new teachers adopt a reflective approach to their teaching practices.
The program is organized into 3 phases:
- A collective and individual welcome for trainees,
- Workshops to be attended, and a reflective essay to be written. The workshops cover a wide range of topics related to university teaching, in a variety of formats (face-to-face, distance learning, hybrid). The training program includes workshops to be chosen from the catalog of workshops and training courses, and a compulsory distance learning course. It is completed by reflective exchange sessions.
- An assessment, during which the trainee's progress over the course of the year is reviewed in individual interviews.
