ESSCA: Learning to learn path for students

What challenge did you have to take on?

We needed to offer a fast digital training course to our ESSCA students. This training complements, on the one hand, our work to raise awareness about the construction of learning strategies compatible with brain function, and on the other hand, our “learning to learn” workshops.

How did the mission take place?

As Head of the ESSCA Group Educational Support Center, my mission is to provide each student with quality follow-up and support. This support aims to help each student build an increasingly autonomous approach in managing their learning and in mastering the contents of the various subjects taught at ESSCA.

As part of a digital learning program, our objective is to help students to conceptualize and develop sustainable skills based on a detailed understanding of the natural mechanisms by which our brain understands and retains information. We then deployed the course “learning to learn” through cognitive science” of Didask for all of our 1st year students in the Grande Ecole Program.

What assessment do you draw from this?

As a learning expert, I note several interesting points in Didask's pedagogical approach. First and very important, the fact that this work is designed to support the 4 pillars of learning, namely:heed, theinvolvement in the activity, The feedback on the error (feedback), Consolidation. Second, there is the possibility of changing the mental representations of students, by promoting the transition from belief to scientific fact. Didask's digital learning solution stands out for its good theoretical base, which for me is essential for a quality product.

An anecdote?

I had a very constructive experience, an excellent level of exchange with the DIDASK interlocutors who sought to co-build with us each time the proposal that best suited our needs.
