The Learning by Discovery Guided: Implementation in a Framework for the Training of Future Trainers in Civil Engineering

Abstract

The main objective of a training program for future trainers Guineans, specialized and competent in Civil Engineering in training centers in their countries, is to use a new method of teaching by guided discovery in the framework of the course of Civil Engineering structures. In this context, a learning study was considered and put in application for the Higher Institute of Technological studies of Rades since November 2015 for a number of hours equal to 90. This innovative project brings together several aspects in Civil Engineering which are addressed through an analysis of a real case. The adopted approach is to apprehend a visit upstream of the teacher of the course in order to master the components of the job site to visit. Consequently, a guided tour of the students is programmed and provided by their teacher. The obtained results are satisfactory on the side of the learners in the field of learning, pedagogical innovation, motivation and profitability. However, these results remain still perfectible.
