Abstract :
[en] Created at the University of Liège (Belgium) in 2006, the CDS - IFRES offers to all the new faculties and teaching assistants the opportunity to participate to a pedagogical training program dealing with a wide range of themes exclusively related to the enhancement of teaching activities for first-year students. More than 1400 staffs have already attended to those sessions in which dissemination of good practices in the first-year course takes a large part. Leading a reflective analysis of the process of this program and its outcomes through various data, this communication offers great insights for conceptors of faculty training programs.
