PedagoLab@ESSEC

By the K-lab team

How to teach inclusively? and how in societies where the caring economy is becoming increasingly central, how can education be considered as “care”.

With this perspective in mind, Estefania Santacreu-Vasut, Associate Dean for Pedagogy, along with the K-lab, have chosen to explore the theme of “pedagogy and inclusion” for this academic year 2023/2024. The first educational workshop took place on November, 17th.

Director of the Center of Excellence Management and Society.

“From the very beginning, we decided on a combination of evaluation tools. Some of those tools are conventional (automatically graded multiple choice exams, for example), but one is not: supervised peer assessments. I have to admit that, at first, I was not convinced this concept would work. But now I see it in a different light.Lire la suite »
