THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN PSYCHOSOCIAL SKILLS TEACHING: THE EXPERIENCE OF THE MOROCCAN FOUNDATION FOR TRAINING IN PSYCHOSOCIAL SKILLS

Psychosocial skills are tools that allow the person to adopt positive attitudes to manage the challenges of daily life. They play an important role in the proper development of children and adolescents. These are social, cognitive and emotional skills that improve a persons quality of life, including their social interactions, and promote the prevention of risky behaviors. Parents play a central role in the development of these skills in their offspring, if they are trained in CPS, they tend to adopt positive educational practices, and help their children to have good self-esteem and develop resilience, as well as the prevention of substance abuse.As in several countries, in Morocco, the Moroccan Foundation for Training in Psychosocial Skills (FMFCPS) has set up a training program in skills for adults who are in prolonged contact with children and adolescents.The work began in 2019, with the start of training in self-esteem, self-affirmation and stress management, by trainers from different profiles: psychiatrists, teachers, educators, etc. The target audience was heterogeneous, made up of teachers (primary, middle school, high school), parents, caregivers, students etc..The approach used was based on active pedagogy, where the learner prepares the content of the training session, and makes a presentation for the entire group, then comes the role of the supervisor to explain the practical aspects of each theme.
