Introduction to workshop
Student movement of 2015
•
-2017 #Rhodesmus6all and #Feesmus6all - renewed call
for new teaching-learning models
To consider how to advance democra@c values in teaching and learning
•
It is no longer possible nowadays to con@nue accep@ng the role of higher educa@on as
•
a mere add-on to acquired theore@cal and scien@fic knowledge.
Learning is now conceived of as a process which is ac@ve, cogni@ve, construc@ve,
•
meaningful, mediated and self-regulated (Beltran, 1996), which means we have to
rethink curricular organiza@on models for courses and teaching methodologies and
student support prac@ces (Simão
et al.
, 2002).
