Higher Education in Comparative Perspective: Opportunities and Challenges
Wednesday, March 16, 2022
9:00 a.m. 鈥 11:00 a.m.
online via Zoom
Global access to postsecondary education has expanded significantly over the past two decades, growing from 100 million tertiary education students in 2000 to 250 million in 2020 (World Bank, 2021). International higher education has also become an increasingly connected, and competitive, sector. In other words, public and private universities have become spaces for transnational engagement, as well as hubs through which people, knowledge, technologies, and money flow. Despite the global growth in post-secondary enrolment, there remains significant disparities in who can access higher education within and across national borders. This BHER Speaker Series event will feature a panel of academic administrators and higher education experts involved in a range of internationalization efforts. They will discuss the opportunities and challenges to expanding higher educational access across borders, and consider the possibilities for, and constraints to, transnational higher education partnership.

Enseignement et apprentissage des comp茅tences du 21e si猫cle en fran莽ais (L1 et L2): r茅silience, collaboration et cr茅ativit茅
Le samedi 26 mars 2022

Le monde de l鈥櫭ヾucation a bascul茅 dans un nouveau paradigme p茅dagogique qui vise 脿 pr茅parer les 茅tudiant路e路s 脿 un avenir incertain, en 茅volution constante, hyperconnect茅 et complexe. La d茅finition de nouveaux objectifs d鈥檃pprentissage - les comp茅tences du 21e si猫cle (ou comp茅tences globales) - est la premi猫re 茅tape vers la transformation de l鈥檃pprentissage en salle de classe (Quinn et al., 2020). Selon Fullan et al. (2017), les six comp茅tences suivantes sont celles d鈥檜n leader du 21e si猫cle : savoir faire montre d鈥檜n caract猫re fort (r茅silience, compassion et capacit茅 脿 apprendre), savoir exercer sa citoyennet茅, savoir collaborer, savoir communiquer, 锚tre cr茅atif et avoir l鈥檈sprit critique. Aider les apprenants 脿 d茅velopper ces comp茅tences gr芒ce 脿 des projets significatifs, pertinents et pouvant m锚me changer le monde, ne peut que mener 脿 une exp茅rience d'apprentissage v茅ritablement transformatrice, 鈥渓鈥檃pprentissage en profondeur鈥 (Fullan et al., 2017). Bien outiller les 茅tudiants, futurs agents de changement de notre soci茅t茅, est particuli猫rement important dans un contexte linguistique et culturel francophone minoritaire.
