Education Thematic Group

The “Education” thematic group (ETG) aims to reflect on, exchange ideas, and take action regarding the challenges of teaching biochemistry and molecular biology. It brings together teacher-researchers and researchers involved at various levels of higher education, who share a common interest in pedagogical innovation and improving teaching practices.
This group’s objective is to foster exchanges on teaching practices and promote new approaches. These approaches have profoundly transformed teaching methods in recent years, both in academic higher education and continuing professional development.
The ETG informs and raises awareness among its members about a diversity of teaching practices, ranging, for example, from flipped classrooms and serious games to the formulation of learning objectives and new assessment methods. The practical implementation of these approaches in teaching represents a significant investment; sharing experiences and resources is therefore essential to facilitating their deployment. This includes pooling teaching frameworks and adapting practices developed in other universities or disciplines to each institution’s specific context.
The ETG also aims to promote the sharing of experiences, the dissemination of teaching resources, and the organization of activities such as workshops, training sessions, and dedicated sessions at SFBBM conferences, contributing to the development of active, inclusive, and high-quality pedagogy within the community.
