A
double mission of research and development
-
To do research on the teaching practices used in
science & technology and mathematics education as well as to
assure the training for researchers in this field.
-
To support teachers in their teaching approaches
which predispose a quality scientific education for students.
Three priority research axis
-
Professional competence in science & technology and mathematics
education.
-
Integrative teaching approaches: problem-based learning, project-based
learning and interdisciplinary education.
-
Educational resources (laboratories, textbooks, TIC, museums,
etc.).
Interfaculty expertise
Collaboration with professionals in
education
-
Training days for teachers participating in the
project.
-
Study days for the school environment.
-
Activities for students.
-
Annual scientific programming for the researchers,
students and partners.
Integrative approaches
-
The research of CRYSTAL-Sherbrooke focus on these
approaches among others, which were highlighted in the new
secondary STM programs in Quebec, like elsewhere in Canada. It
includes problem-based learning, project-based learning and
interdisciplinary education.
Welcoming environment
for students and postdoctoral stagiaires
-
A stimulating working environment encouraging
exchanges between peers and researchers.
-
Quality research support and supervision.
-
An active participation in scientific activities
such as conferences, study days, seminars and symposiums.
-
The possibility of obtaining a research
assistantship.
-
The possibility of obtaining a postdoctoral
fellowship.
