Abstract

The valorization of university teaching is of key concern to this institution’s academic and political actors and is a foundation of pedagogical innovation. In this qualitative research I explored how thirty-two professors, recipients of the Université de Montréal excellence in teaching award, define their conception of pedagogical innovation. An analysis of the data allowed me to identify seven distinct notions of the concept of pedagogical innovation, to construct an updated definition and to propose a pedagogical innovation conception cycle.
