At the University of Montpellier, educational innovation is now a reality. The years of the I-SITE MUSE project have been fundamental in this regard. Innovating in education means encouraging a change in attitude among those involved in university teaching. It also means transforming the spaces where teaching takes place and, finally, experimenting with new and increasingly innovative methods. It is a profound change in the usual paradigms of knowledge transmission with the aim of promoting the professional development of teachers and integrating students into this process. But innovation also means transmitting and disseminating, and to do this, it is necessary to observe the transformations and measure the impact of their implementation. This innovation in teaching is part of the training strategy promoted by the Presidency of the University of Montpellier and implemented by the VP CFVU. It has been made a reality through the creation of the Joint Service for Support for Pedagogical Innovation. The Center for Support of Pedagogical Innovation (CSIP): a catalyst for change The CSIP, drawing on the experience gained during the I-SITE MUSE years, is firmly committed to supporting teachers and Professors to transform their teaching methods. The CSIP is a vision, because without denying the value of traditional teaching methods, it focuses its mission on interactive teaching methods that bring together students, teachers, researchers, teaching spaces, and technologies. The goal is to facilitate the co-construction of skills and knowledge. The CSIP values the implementation of teaching methods centered on human interaction, because learning is a lifelong journey where a multitude of educational opportunities intersect, meet, and are shared. Finally, the CSIP is an experimental approach, rooted in the reality of teaching in the 21st century. Website The Observatory of Pedagogical Transformation (OTP) The OTP conducts studies to better understand the teaching practices of university professors, how they are changing, and their impact on student success. Students' perceptions of teaching practices are at the heart of these studies. They are carried out for the benefit of professors and in collaboration with them. OTP website
