A collaboration between UNamur - Hénallux - IFEC Image Image Image Since September 2022, Hénallux and UNamur have been collaborating with IFEC (Institut de Formation de l'Enseignement Catholique) with the aim of raising awareness and training those involved in secondary education in educational differentiation, advocated in the Pacte pour un enseignement d'excellence. To achieve this, various modalities have been devised and implemented: in-school pedagogical days, follow-ups in schools that request them, courses for differentiation referent teachers, courses for CSAs (support and accompaniment advisors).The convention is coordinated by Sandrine Biémar (UNamur) and Alain Bultot (Hénallux), and the team of researchers includes Anne Libert (UNamur), Virginie Meyer (UNamur) and Sylvie Van der Linden (Hénallux). Background This collaborative research is part of a wider project devoted to differentiation, which brings together several courses with different aims and audiences. These include in-school pedagogical training, the training of teacher-referents whose vocation is to be facilitators of the development of differentiation practices in their schools, training for all IFEC CSAs, as well as regular meetings with IFEC in-house trainers interested in this theme. Collaborative research is part of this continuity, with each path nourishing the others. It aims to anchor reflection on differentiation in classroom practices in a mutual enrichment of theory and practice. In practice School courses : pedagogical training and follow-up courses lasting from 1 to several days. CSA course : 4-day training for all CSAs and IFEC. Referent courses : Training of pairs of school referents for 4 days + 1 day. Trainers' courses : community of practice with IFEC internal differentiation trainers Collaborative research path : accompanying teachers over a school year in implementing differentiation practices. The objectives Fostering teachers' power to act by mobilizing and interpreting objective data gathered in the field.Collaborative research is built on negotiation between participants and researchers. Each stage of the research is therefore constructed together, in order to respond as closely as possible to the concerns and issues related to differentiation that are encountered in the specific contexts of each participant.For example, the research question and sub-questions are co-formulated to respond as closely as possible to the concerns and issues in the field regarding the impact of a differentiated teaching posture on student motivation and autonomy.. Methodology This research is inspired by the protocol developed by Schildkamp (2018, 2019) within "Data TEAMS". It aims to develop and foster teachers' power to act through decision-making based on data collection and evaluation of school practices.The data resulting from this research pathway will feed the referent and trainer pathways. In addition, data and productions resulting from this collaborative research will also be destined for colleagues and organizations from the various stakeholders (schools, CSA). Want to get involved? We are looking for pairs of teachers from the same school, which will facilitate the implementation of the process within each school concerned. The themeDevelop and regulate differentiation practices in light of classroom data.The objectivesUnderstand and actUnderstand, through analysis of available classroom data and exchanges of practice between professionals, the effects of a differentiated teacher posture on student motivation and autonomy.Objectivate one's intuition to act effectively.Terms and conditions7 meetings over the course of the year at the Salle des Pros (Rue Godefroid, 7 - in the center of Namur)Why participate?To enrich research by drawing on practices in the field.To enrich your practices thanks to the support of the researcher-trainers.To meet other teachers who share your concerns.

Context The University of Namur organises digital skills training courses using the PIX ORGA platform (https://pix.org/fr-be/). This allows teachers and other members of the university community to organise digital skills training courses for specific audiences, in particular students taking a course for which these skills are required. The organisation of these courses and the processing of the results involves the processing of data relating to trainers and learners. A special feature of the PIX ORGA platform is that it is part of a larger project led by the Ministry of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, which aims to develop digital skills throughout the learning life cycle. Learners are required to use, and if necessary create, their own account, which is independent of their course at UNamur, on a web application created and managed by PIX (Public Interest Group "Pix", 21-23 rue des Ardennes, 75019 Paris). It is from this account that learners validate their skills by following the online training modules.  Categories of personal data processed and purposes of use For the purposes of this activity, the University of Namur processes data falling into the following categories:General identification data [category including the following types of data: surname, first name, postal address, email addresses, copy of identity card, identity photograph, telephone number, etc.]Identifiers assigned by UNamur [category including the following types of data: student number, internal registration number, eID for access to internal resources, access card identifiers, student card number, etc.]Application data [category including the following types of data: campaign ID, campaign name, course code, course name, percentage of progress, course start date, shared (yes/no), sharing date, details of validated achievements, details of assessed achievements and success rate per skill, etc.].Additional non-mandatory personal characteristics data (e.g. gender) (for statistical purposes in order to adjust the digital training policy according to identified needs).This data is used to:Create training campaignsInvite learners to follow the created courseRetrieve and process learners' resultsManage technical support for use of the platform (ORGA PIX)Manage a training policy based on identified needs. Legal basis for data processingDepending on the learner audience, the use of training courses is based on:With regard to students, processing is carried out because it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest in the field of education (Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR)With regard to University staff, the activity is carried out on the basis of the University's legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). This legitimate interest consists of being able to train individuals in skills that are useful for the performance of their tasks and duties, or even required by law to ensure staff training in data protection. In addition, the University anonymises the related data for statistical purposes, which is in its legitimate interest to be able to adjust its digital training policy according to identified needs (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).  Categories of data subjects The categories of persons whose data are processed for the purposes of the activity are as follows:Participants in training campaigns (staff members and enrolled students) as learners or trainers.Internal administrators of PIX ORGA Data sources The data included in the processing activity comes from the following source(s):The data is stored in a University databaseThe data is generated by an activity of the personThe data comes from another source as described below: The course is linked to a user account that the learner creates separately with PIX. When a learner participates in a pathway created by UNamur, the latter receives data from PIX when the learner agrees to share their results via their PIX account.  Data recipients The data is processed solely by the University's staff and departments for the purposes of carrying out the activity. The internal recipients of the data mainly belong to the following categories:University administrative staffFaculty and department staffExternal recipients of data belong to the following categories:External service providers acting on behalf of and on the instructions of the University: PIX is also a subcontractor of the University in the context of a PIX ORGA service it provides, which enables UNamur to create and manage training courses for its users.In addition, PIX generates statistics on the use of the PIX ORGA Platform by users at the University of Namur for the Ministry of the French Community, which oversees the use of this platform by various actors in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Characteristics of processing The retention period is determined based on the need to retain the data for operational purposes in accordance with the purpose of its use. Course data is kept for a maximum of 5 years. For students, data relating to their academic history is retained until they leave the university. Anonymised data is retained in order to measure the relevance and need for training in digital skills. Each year at the end of the academic year, data from the past academic year is extracted from the PIX ORGA Platform and anonymised. Data relating to students who are no longer enrolled for the coming year is deleted from the Platform. These retention periods are specific to the processing carried out by UNamur. Learner data is stored in the user account that they have created with PIX, which is independent of their enrolment and studies at UNamur.  Data subjects rights Data subjects have rights which are described on the page https://www.unamur.be/en/privacy-policy. Any requests or questions relating to the files processed can be sent to tice@unamur.be. Additional information relating to data processing by entities other than UNamur within the framework of PIX Processing for which GIP PIX is data controllerThe French public interest group Pix (the "GIP Pix") develops and provides the Pix platform. GIP Pix is responsible for processing its users' data for the administrative management of their user accounts, compiling statistics with a view to improving its platform, and for skills tests carried out independently on Pix (i.e. tests/courses not prescribed by the University of Namur). For more information on the data processing carried out by GIP Pix, its Personal Data Protection Policy is available at the following address: https://pix.fr/politique-protection-donnees-personnelles-app.Processing for which the Ministry of the French Community is data controllerThe Ministry of the French Community (Boulevard Léopold II, 44, 1080 Brussels, Belgium; http://www.federation-wallonie-bruxelles.be/a-propos-de-la-federation/l…) has entered into a partnership agreement with GIP Pix to deploy the Pix tool in the education sector in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. In its capacity as regulatory authority, the Ministry commissions the GIP Pix to compile statistics on the deployment and use of Pix by the education sector. In this sense, it is considered responsible for this processing under the GDPR. The results and progress data are anonymised for the purpose of compiling these statistics. This processing of the data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Ministry (within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in its capacity as a regulatory authority. The "raw" data used to compile statistics is never transmitted to the Ministry. The statistics are compiled directly by GIP Pix (in its capacity as a processor) on the basis of instructions given by the Ministry. The data is kept for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose of producing statistics. To exercise the rights granted by the GDPR with regard to this processing for statistical purposes, you should:Send an email to the Ministry's data protection officer at the following address: protectiondesdonnees@cfwb.be; State the right you wish to exercise and indicate the information you require;Specify that this concerns the processing of Pix statistics; Provide proof of identity by attaching, for example, a copy of your identity card (front and back) to the application, with a dated initials, the words "Ministry of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation", the date and the subject of your application (so that it cannot be used for other purposes at a later date). This copy is only accessible to the data protection officer and is automatically deleted as soon as identification and authentication have been carried out with certainty.
