Remember Y2K? Back in those days, important changes took place in the way
universities in Quebec were to conceive teacher education: “professional competencies”
were supposed to become the backbone of our programs (see Lajoie & Pallascio, 2001).
One key idea we have drawn from this requirement is the concept of “knowing how to
act in the moment.” H...

... undergraduate course Didactique de l'arithmétique au primaire is designed around ten different role-plays in which the students have to improvise… in an informed way, so to help the students develop mathematically. Typically, we begin by introducing the situation in which we want the students to improvise, and then give them about 30 minutes to prepare themselves in small groups ( Figure 1 shows an example of such situation). In the preparation time, students reflect on what might happen between the teacher and the student, not knowing beforehand who will play the role of a pupil or that of a teacher. ...

... prepare themselves, they generally draw on an article they've read at home, and the analysis of pupils' productions related to the topic. Nonetheless, the role-plays often destabilize students from the onset because what first appeared to be simple soon confronts students with their own understanding of the mathematical concepts involved (for example, to deal with the errors in the students solution in Figure 1). This destabilization effect is intended, and helps the students engage in the preparation for role-play. ...

There are a number of leadership styles. A leader can be loud and boisterous, quiet and unassuming, or anywhere in between. Some are like a chameleon and change their style depending on the circumstances. Regardless of style, there are certain traits that must be present for surgeon-leaders to be effective. Some such traits include strategic thinki...

Le présent article traite d’une recherche qualitative-interprétative (Savoie-Zajc, 2018), réalisée selon une approche collaborative (Desgagné, 2001) avec des enseignant∙e∙s en insertion professionnelle du Québec (Canada). L’étude met à l’essai un scénario de formation composé d’exercices d’improvisation visant le développement d’habiletés interactives de gestion de classe (Pelletier, 2017). En plus de permettre la mise à jour d’un micro-référentiel d’habiletés interactives, l’analyse des activités réflexives de groupe permet de documenter la perception qu’ont les enseignant∙e∙s de leurs habiletés interactives ainsi que les exercices les plus efficaces pour les développer.
