What is it about?

This article proposes a rather simple method which consists in reversing the standard forms of teaching. This learner-centered approach, which is quite simple to implement, makes it possible to develop higher education, particularly in France where the traditional lecture is still used. This method also allows teachers to maintain a central role as facilitators throughout the process

Why is it important?

The results described in this article demonstrate that this pedagogical approach is both relevant and extremely positive. The method makes it easier to smooth out significant variation in student levels and significantly reduces failure rates. The results of various satisfaction surveys undertaken show that the engineering students fully appreciate the proposed learner-centered pedagogical approach. They also point out that this approach allows teachers to maintain a central role as facilitators of the process

Perspectives

We are convinced that all the results described in this article, both quantitative and qualitative, should encourage teachers to modify their approach in order to better prepare future engineers for an ever more demanding professional environment
