University pedagogy or higher education pedagogy is a set of teaching modalities, styles and strategies specific to higher education.
Our professionals study and equip higher education instructors in teaching modalities that promote learning, knowledge building and skill development of students.
If you are a large school or university concerned with strengthening the pedagogy of your institution's teaching, the ADCG is the ideal partner to help you achieve your goal.
Evaluation is the systematic assessment of the design, implementation or outcomes of an initiative for the purpose of learning or decision-making (Canadian Evaluation Society). In practice, it is a rigorous and systematic process of collecting and analyzing evidence about interventions in order to improve them or make judgments about their value and thus inform decision-making.
Depending on the concerns of the schools or universities, the evaluation of our experts may take into consideration the relevance of the intervention and the means of intervention chosen, the implementation of the intervention, its results, the effectiveness with which its objectives are pursued or the efficiency of the action.
Our professionals are individuals who are responsible for assessing or evaluating the relevance of a higher education program or offering. Therefore, the evaluation of your program by ADCG's experts will take into consideration the following 10 criteria:
The training of managers in school administration provides knowledge and skills in intervention, evaluation, analysis and research in educational planning and management as well as in the study and development of educational foundations. The training takes into account teaching strategies, pedagogical supervision and the consolidation of skills.
ADCG professionals provide coaching or training to administrators in the education system (principal, assistant principal, principal, dean, etc.).
Pedagogy that integrates information and communication technologies to support teaching and learning. The goal of techno-pedagogy is to improve teaching and learning through the use of various tools, resources and technological systems, which can simplify the teacher's tasks or make the activities proposed to learners more attractive (Office québécois de la langue française, 2021). In fact, it is the science that studies teaching methods that integrate new information and communication technologies (NICT).
ADCG offers educational institutions and universities its expertise in the implementation and execution of educational technology.
The curriculum is an integrated set of elements that define the content of training in terms of objectives to be achieved and competencies to be acquired, implemented according to a determined order of progression and constructed within the framework of an education system (Office québécois de la langue française, 2007). The curriculum includes the definition of teaching objectives, content, methods (including evaluation), materials (including textbooks) and provisions for adequate teacher training.
Assessment is the process of making judgments about learning, based on data that are collected, analyzed and interpreted, in order to make educational and administrative decisions.
Curriculum engineering deals with the development, implementation, evaluation and regulation of training curricula (or programs).
ADCG professionals provide schools and universities with the knowledge and expertise to design, implement and evaluate training and learning curricula.
Initial training is the basic training taken before entering the job market. It is used to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to enter the workforce. Initial training is intended for students. It leads to the exercise of a trade or profession and gives rise to curricula whose duration and teaching vary according to the chosen course of study, the targeted diploma and the student's level of education.
Initial training brings together the theoretical and practical reflection of the strategies of theoretical training (in mural) and practical training (extra mural: internship, practical course, pedagogical supervision, pedagogical inspection). This initial training, together with a similar field called training engineering, refers to training under student status.
ADCG assists institutions in the development and implementation of theoretical and practical tools for initial training in accordance with state ministerial directives and especially in accordance with the curriculum developed by the Ministry of Education in consultation with its educational partners.
Our professionals focus on the initial training of trainers (or professionals) in order to provide them with the tools, skills and abilities necessary to establish a coherent pedagogy of knowledge diffusion and learning.
Continuing education refers to all actions and activities in which practicing teachers engage individually and collectively to update and enrich their professional practice. It is concerned with the retraining of personnel in the education and training system through short or medium-term training courses. Generally, these training offers are made on an à la carte basis or respond to an identified need among these professionals.
ADCG is dedicated to meeting the individual and group continuing education needs of educational institutions and universities and is committed to providing quality training that meets national and international standards for an effective outcome.
