Teaching
Philosophy of Teaching
My teaching is grounded in the idea that teachers and learners are equal before knowledge and the tools of knowledge.
Learning is a dynamic movement between stability (concepts, schemas) and exploration (hypotheses, interpretations), aligned with my Cognitive Trapeze & Pedagogical Swing Model.
I design learning environments where students develop:
- conceptual clarity
- metacognitive awareness
- critical reasoning
- digital and AI literacies
- multilingual and intercultural competence
1. Courses Taught

2. Teaching in Priority Education Zones (ZEP)
I coordinate pedagogical activities in priority education zones, focusing on:
- differentiated instruction
- inclusive learning environments
- AI‑supported scaffolding
- digital empowerment

This work is part of the IA_4_ZEP program.
3. Pedagogical Innovations
AI‑Augmented Pedagogy
I integrate AI tools to support:
- adaptive feedback
- multimodal reasoning
- conceptual modeling
- self‑regulated learning
Cognitive Scaffolding
I design activities that help learners:
- build stable conceptual anchors
- explore new hypotheses
- articulate reasoning processes
Multilingual & Intercultural Learning
I promote the use of multiple languages as cognitive resources.
