Educational innovation

At the University of Montpellier, educational innovation is now a reality.

The years of I-SITE MUSE were, in this respect, seminal. 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.

This represents a profound shift in the usual paradigms of knowledge transfer, with the aim of promoting teachers' professional development and involving students in this process.

But innovation also means sharing and spreading ideas, which requires observing changes and measuring the impact of implementations. This pedagogical innovation is part of the training strategy promoted by the Presidency of the University of Montpellier and implemented by the VP CFVU. It has been brought to fruition with the creation of the Joint Service for Pedagogical Innovation Support.

The Center for Support of Educational Innovations (CSIP): a catalyst for change

Building on the experience gained during the I-SITE MUSE years, CSIP is firmly committed to supporting teachers and Professors to transform their teaching methods.

The CSIP is a vision, since without rejecting traditional teaching methods, its mission is centered around interactive teaching methods that bring together students, teachers, researchers, educational spaces, and technologies. The goal is to facilitate the co-construction of skills and knowledge.

The CSIP promotes the value of implementing teaching methods centered on human interaction, because learning is a lifelong journey where a multitude of educational opportunities intersect, converge, and are shared.
Finally, the CSIP is an experimental approach rooted in the reality of teaching in the 21st century.

The Observatory of Educational Transformation (OTP)

The OTP conducts studies to better understand university teachers' teaching practices, how they are changing, and their impact on student success. Students' perceptions of teaching practices are central to these studies. They are carried out for the benefit of teachers and in collaboration with them.
