Guide to building teaching units in the social action-oriented approach (SAOA)

Presentation

This document presents, in tabular form, the key elements to consider when designing a teaching unit grounded in a social ction-oriented approach/project pedagogy. The unit is structured as a mini-project, with particular attention paid to the level of autonomy that must necessarily be granted to learners. The development process is not linear—progressing simply from left to right—but rather iterative, incorporating feedback. Following the table, a commentary discusses activities aimed at fostering learner empowerment, particularly in the co-management of project documentation alongside the teacher.
