As part of efforts to modernize pedagogical communication mechanisms and promote contemporary educational practices in response to the challenges and demands of the digital era, the National Institute for Research in Education, in partnership with UNESCO, organized a training session for educational inspectors entitled “From Transmission to Empowerment: A Workshop on Interactive Content Development as an Approach to 21st-Century Skills”, held on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
Following the national anthem, the Institute’s Director, Professor Chawki Djeddi, delivered an opening address in which he welcomed the participants and emphasized the importance of investing in human resources, as well as the role of partnerships with various stakeholders in advancing educational reform. He then officially declared the opening of the session.
The session primarily aimed to:
- promote the transition from direct, lecture-based instruction to effective empowerment through the design and development of interactive content;
- equip participants with the skills necessary to integrate interactive media into the educational process;
- enable participants to design and produce interactive digital content in support of teaching and learning objectives in the twenty-first century.
The session included a series of intensive theoretical and practical workshops focusing on interactive content development and modern pedagogical planning.
Activities were structured around three main areas:
1. Interactive Content Development and Use:
- designing and developing interactive lessons using H5P, enabling participants to become familiar with modern tools for creating interaction-rich digital content suitable for autonomous learning;
- using PhET simulations to teach complex scientific and physical concepts through virtual experiments that replicate real-world phenomena, facilitating the transition from theory to practice;
- training in pedagogical content creation (scenarization and media production) to connect learning content with real-life contexts through pedagogical scenarios.
2. Pedagogical Structuring and Organization:
- focusing on modern pedagogical principles and hierarchical organization of lesson components through a tree structure (arborescence) to ensure logical coherence and conceptual clarity;
- training on transforming theoretical concepts into creative instructional designs.
3. Planning and Applied Design:
- introducing the concept of pedagogical scenarization, which enables lesson segmentation and pedagogical concretization of concepts;
- developing the necessary instructional media through the use of storyboarding prior to the actual production of interactive content.
This training session marked an important step in strengthening the capacities of educational practitioners and supporting an effective transition toward more empowering and innovative teaching practices.
