Presentation

As part of its policy of supporting innovation, developing resources and training trainers in conjunction with research, the Faculty of Education has set up the Research, Innovation and Training Groups (GRIF).

The Faculty of Education attaches particular importance to innovative projects based on classroom experimentation in primary or secondary education, and on the exploitation of these teaching practices in training. Critical and creative reflection should enable us to increase the professionalization of the MEEF master's degree and our non-MEEF courses. These innovative projects are to be carried out over one or two academic years, with a third year dedicated to the production of resources.

GRIFs are also designed to help teachers and teacher-researchers strengthen and cooperate on specific, clearly identified professional training issues. The objectives of GRIFs are to :

  • Question training content and suggest modifications

  • Examine classroom practices in light of the problems and questions they raise in training

  • Aim to introduce new training methods, and remedy dysfunctions in the training systems provided by the Faculty of Education

  • Develop targeted experimentation with a group of trainers, trainees or students in training

  • Produce a report on the results of the experiment, with a view to planning its use in subsequent years.

  • Produce training tools (preparation sheets, verbatim reports, videos and their analysis)

  • Participate train-the-trainer programs (or initiate them) to disseminate GRIF results
