Culture and Symbolic Productions: An Essential Component of the Quebec Culture and Citizenship Program

As part of the Quebec Culture and Citizenship program for Grade 10, we are pleased to present the "Culture and Symbolic Productions" component, a key element of education for conscious and informed citizenship. This component offers students a unique opportunity to delve into the heart of cultural diversities and their symbolic manifestations, thereby enriching their understanding of the world and its countless perspectives.

 

Discovery and Reflection through SAÉ

Structured around four autonomous and innovative Learning and Evaluation Situations (SAÉ), this component promises a dynamic and interactive pedagogical approach. Each SAÉ, designed to operate in a hybrid mode, allows for optimal flexibility, adapting to a digital or traditional environment according to the needs and preferences of each class. Access to resources is facilitated by downloading documents or using them online, thus offering a variety of means to explore the program's rich and diverse content.

 

Customized Pedagogical Support

The teacher's guide, carefully developed, aims to guide the course of the classes while providing enriching reflection pathways for the teacher. This valuable tool is complemented by a range of didactic resources: podcasts, statistics, interviews, texts, glossaries, bibliographies, and media lists, all designed to deepen and broaden the students' learning horizons.

 

Dokoma's Exclusive Tools: A Pedagogical Revolution

Dokoma is committed to enriching the educational experience with exclusive and innovative tools. Before and after each SAÉ, surveys are available to measure the interest and engagement of the students, allowing for a detailed analysis of the learning progression. Dokoma's digital tools encourage the creation of lively and constructive debates in class, thanks to online voting systems and interactive whiteboards. The Dialogue tool, meanwhile, invites students to participate in a national-scale activity, highlighting the importance of their voice in the collective discourse.

 

Invitation to Explore

We warmly invite teachers to discover the four SAÉs of the "Culture and Symbolic Productions" component and to integrate this leading-edge pedagogical material into their curriculum. This is an unparalleled opportunity to inspire your students, to stimulate their intellectual curiosity, and to engage them in deep reflection on cultures and their symbolic expressions.
