Using Information and Communication Technologies for Education

 Project leader : TELECOM ParisTech

Research on the general theme of  "Using Information and Communication Technologies for Education"  has two objectives:

• to supply theoretical "models"
• and develop evaluation-based recommendations.

It covers three themes:

The student's learning using Information Technologies

The activities proposed in this research field focus on Institut TELECOM's pedagogical hypermedia collection: the COLLECTION in questions.

• Cognitive multimedia integration (cognitive psychology, ergonomics). 
• Cognitive hypermedia integration (and especially "knowledge maps") (cognitive psychology and didactics). 
• Collaborative learning using Information Technologies (simulators, etc.) (cognitive psychology and psycho-sociology).

The evolution of teaching practices using Information Technologies

• The evolution of pedagogical relations in new systems (educational sciences, psycho-sociology, techno-pedagogy). 
• The impact of teacher training on the evolution of pedagogical relations (educational sciences, psycho-sociology). 
• Cooperation of teachers and the evolution of teaching practices (educational sciences, psycho-sociology).

Systems engineering of pedagogical innovation using Information Technologies

• The pedagogical design and use of new training systems employing Information Technologies (educational sciences, psycho-sociology). 
• Pedagogical innovation processes in new training systems employing Information Technologies. 
• Pedagogical innovation and methodological innovation (psycho-sociology, educational sciences, epistemology).
• Learning communities in pedagogical innovation processes using Information Technologies (educational sciences, psycho-sociology, sociology).
