Meeting objectives without working yourself to death
Many teachers find themselves rowing their boats every day of the school year to get their students to get down to work. It's easy to think that they're lazy, that they don't want to do anything, and so on. For teacher Marie-Camille Coudert, this reality hides the real problem: the dysfunction of the traditional classroom as a whole.
Indeed, in this video on her channel, she explains that she understood that a different approach was needed than just grumbling about the indolence of certain students. After all, it's unfair to expect everyone to have the same notion of work, when that definition varies according to family background. Especially since, in a world that is becoming increasingly automated and risks leaving these generations with fewer resources, constantly demanding effort seems, in her view, paradoxical.
So, rather than working relentlessly to ensure that students are always at peak effort, she proposes adopting the adaptive classroom. A model that allows learners to adjust their efforts according to what they can do, without being penalized at the end of the day. For those interested in this approach, take a look at this other video she has produced on how this type of teaching works.
Our terrestrial human bodies have integrated the phenomenon of gravity and have developed control and compensatory actions to avoid falling. In a context of microgravity or reduced gravity for the Moon (0.16 g) and Mars (0.38 g), the three systems governing motion must adapt. This thesis contributes to identify and understand these adaptation mechanisms in order to realize high precision intervention protocols.
Meta attitudes are orientations that enable a facilitator to follow the energy and intentions of a group, rather than setting a program to which to rigidly adhere. Meta attitudes promote the encounter between non-directiveness and agentivity.
Measure progress in the adoption of collaborative practices at all stages, in terms of both mastery of tools and understanding and acceptance of rules and practices, as well as individual and collective efficiency gains.
