AVILA Crew: Pedagogical Innovation with Peer Learning.
This webinar presents a strategy for creating a team of mentors, AVILA Crew, consisting of former students from a course who volunteered to be responsible for the conceptualization, organization and implementation of mentoring sessions named AVILA Sessions.
These AVILA Sessions are based on the principle of autonomy applied to the team of mentors, who organize themselves to develop mentoring sessions, typically in-game format, where the role of teachers is mainly to identify the curricular topic to be addressed and to ensure scientific correction of each session methodology and exercises.
This approach enhances the creative skills of alumni, still able to remember the difficulties they have recently had with those syllabi, resulting in a set of notably innovative pedagogical solutions that are distinct from teacher's traditional strategies and pedagogical approaches.
During the webinar practical cases of AVILA Sessions already held (SQL, arrays, git,…) will be presented, as well as strategies for team building. Organization and working methodologies used by teachers and mentors to prepare the sessions will be discussed.
