ON-LINE PAPERS 

Proceedings of the Seminar on Methodology for reference use in training of trainers (Brussels, december 1996), organized by the European Documentation Center on Politics in Education and Training of ULB - CEDEF / ULB.
FR
RTF - HTML

This initiative, organized with the support of the DG XXII - European Commission - is in line with the first of the stimulating topics of the " European Year of the Education " : " General Education with high quality, open to everybody without discrimination, including the capacity to learn autonomously ". The steering Committee justifies its project from a set of convergent assessments resulting from researches relating to the abilities and the competences taking place in the reference use not only by youth but also by adults.
Many contributors have reviewed various problems encountered by teachers and their pupils to access to the "conventional" informations. Except the paper relating to the computerized network RECODA, the contributions are not besed on the use of computers networks. Nonetheless the interest of the document stays for opened reflections within Learn-Nett. Indeed, reading these proceedings, we can ask ourself if - once the material access infrastructure put in place - the difficulties mentioned for the "paper" documents (books, manuals...) will be ironed out. The assessments already mentioned by the pedagogues from well-equipped countries lead on the contrary to anticipate an exponential growth of those questions.
