Educational innovation

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

In this regard, the years of the I-SITE MUSE initiative have been transformative. Innovating in pedagogy means encouraging a shift in mindset among those involved in university education. It also means transforming the spaces where teaching takes place and, finally, experimenting with new and increasingly innovative methods.

This represents a fundamental shift away from traditional approaches to knowledge transfer, with the aim of promoting teachers’ professional development and involving students in this process.

But innovation also means sharing and spreading ideas, and to do so, we must monitor changes and assess the impact of their implementation. This pedagogical innovation is part of the training strategy led by the Presidency of the University of Montpellier and implemented by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Affairs (VP CFVU). It has been brought to life through the creation of the Joint Service for Pedagogical Innovation Support.

The Center for Educational Innovation (CSIP): A Catalyst for Change

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

The CSIP is a vision; while not rejecting traditional teaching methods, its mission is centered on interactive pedagogies that bring together students, teachers, researchers, learning spaces, and technology. The goal is to facilitate the collaborative development of skills and knowledge.

The CSIP promotes teaching methods centered on human interaction, as learning is a lifelong journey where a multitude of educational opportunities intersect, converge, and are shared.
Ultimately, the CSIP is an experimental approach rooted in the realities of 21st-century education.

The Observatory on Educational Transformation (OTP)

The OTP conducts studies to better understand the teaching practices of university faculty, how these practices are evolving, and how they impact student success. Students’ perceptions of these teaching practices are central to these studies. The studies are conducted for the benefit of faculty and in collaboration with them.
