Addressing Societal and Environmental Challenges through Transformative Pedagogy in Higher Education

Résumé

We are presenting a doctoral research with a dual focus: on the one hand, a research into the challenges facing higher education programs in terms of supporting societal and ecological transitions. On the other hand, the professionalization of those involved in higher education in terms of integrating these challenges into their institutions and curricula. At a time when social and ecological issues are becoming increasingly pressing for society as a whole, higher education institutions are gradually incorporating them as a fully-fledged aspect in the training of their students, beyond specialized courses. It is in this context that the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA Lyon) has initiated a transformation of all its engineering courses to address these issues. How can such a transformation be implemented? How can teachers question and address socio-ecological issues and incorporate them into their curricula? The research approach is based on an intervention research project involving a series of inquiries carried out in collaboration with stakeholders at INSA Lyon, serving as the research field. The researcher's position is central in a context where he assumes the role of a pedagogical advisor, aiming to improve the understanding of how didactic systems work and to actively participate in their transformation. This contribution aims to describe how a training module was created, co-developed, and tested with the teams of teachers. The elements analyzed include the teachers' design and problematisation practices, as well as the transpositive processes at work (both disciplinary and with reference to identifiable social practices). The results highlight the content selection criteria used by the participants as well as the collective dynamics of negotiation within the teams of teachers, based on their reciprocal disciplinary and professional cultures.
