Abstract

In this thesis I critically examine New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (NPDL) to assess its compatibility with Transformative Learning Theory and Constructivism, one of the grounding theories of the Quebec Education Plan (QEP). This thesis explores how NPDL and the QEP’s Secondary English Language Arts Cycle 2 (SELA2) program can be brought together to create deeper, transformative, student-centred learning experiences for students in Québec. This thesis aims to establish common themes of the aforementioned theories and to propose a conceptual framework and outline some practical applications for SELA2 teachers in order to address critical 21st Century skills as well as subject-specific competency development outlined in the SELA2 program. Furthermore, this thesis addresses the complexity of educational change and asserts that the proximity of Secondary English Language Arts Cycle 2 teachers affords them with the profound power to affect change in instruction. It is my stance that providing students with more opportunities to engage in the development of 21st Century skills grounded in the principles of NPDL can open the door for transformation. The proposed framework and the use of applications such as those elaborated on in this thesis, educators can promote deep and more meaningful learning that can lay the groundwork for transformative learning experiences.
