Resulting from a conference that took place in Amiens, France, in June 2019, this book examines the place and role of objects centered in teaching practices from kindergarten to university, both in the context of France and elsewhere. These “objects for learning” are considered in their physicality as productions, work or signs that are used for learning. They become “objects to learn about” when the object itself is the learning objective. This book offers a cross-disciplinary perspective, linking the different disciplinary fields studied and the many reference sources used by the authors. This two-volume work offers an overview of current research on the subject, with this second volume focusing on objects in representations of space and time, then on learners’ activities in the making or use of objects, before concluding with different cultural and philosophical perspectives on objects

Ce livre examine la place et le rôle des objets lorsqu’ils sont mis au centre de pratiques enseignantes de la maternelle à l’université, en France et ailleurs. Ces « objets pour apprendre » sont considérés dans leur matérialité sensible comme production, oeuvre ou signe mobilisés en vue d’apprentissages. Ils deviennent des « objets à apprendre » quand la visée d’apprentissage est l’objet même. L’ouvrage privilégie une perspective transversale, en lien avec les domaines disciplinaires investigués et la pluralité des cadres de référence mobilisés par les chercheurs. L’ouvrage en deux volumes propose une vue d’ensemble des recherches actuelles sur le sujet avec ce second volume qui s’attache aux objets dans la construction de représentations de l’espace et du temps, puis aux traces d’activité d’élèves dans la fabrication ou l’usage d’objets, avant de terminer sur différentes perspectives sur les objets, en particulier culturelle et philosophique.

Students' difficulties in producing texts that meet the requirements of academic writing are a recurring concern for teaching staff and those responsible for university courses. Various initiatives are currently being taken, mainly at undergraduate level, to help students improve the quality of their writing. Research into metacognitive processes and the self-regulation of learning can be used to support the design of these writing support systems, particularly by providing a better understanding of the students' difficulties. This book reviews the concepts of metacognition and self-regulation in relation to writing processes. It analyses the metacognitive components involved in text production, their links with successful writing and their individual and contextual determinants. It completes this analysis by drawing on the teaching and assessment of writing in higher education. All of these elements are articulated around a multifactorial modeling of the learning and teaching of academic writing.
For two centuries, the school system has been a central point around which other players have gravitated: local authorities, voluntary organizations and the world of work. Over the course of the 20th century, this school centric configuration underwent a transformation, with local authorities tending to become integrated into the vertical culture of the school system. This was only the beginning of a process that brought schools and socio cultural players into constant contact. Cultural, Training and Educational Spaces first examines the relationships with knowledge generated by the links between the school system and other cultural, training and educational spaces, taking a historical, pedagogical and philosophical perspective. Easy access to learning materials creates different relationships with knowledge than those observed in schools. The book then looks at the pedagogical practices in these different cultural educational spaces, such as libraries and media libraries, museums and historical sites, places of heritage, history and entertainment, social networks and other multimedia formats.
Depuis deux siècles, la forme scolaire a conféré à l’école un point central en périphérie duquel gravitent d’autres acteurs éducatifs : collectivités territoriales, associations, monde du travail. Au cours du XXe siècle, cette configuration scolarocentrée a entamé une mutation. Les instances locales tendent à s’intégrer dans la culture verticale du système scolaire. Il ne s’agissait alors que du début d’un processus qui a mis en interaction l’école et les acteurs socioculturels. Dans un premier temps, Espaces culturels de formation étudie les rapports aux savoirs induits par les articulations entre forme scolaire et espaces culturels de formation par une mise en...
Les difficultés des étudiants à rédiger des textes conformes aux exigences de l’écriture académique sont une préoccupation récurrente des équipes pédagogiques et des responsables des formations universitaires. Des initiatives diverses se déploient, principalement en licence, pour aider les étudiants à améliorer la qualité de leurs écrits. Les recherches sur les processus métacognitifs et d’autorégulation de l’apprentissage peuvent servir d’appui à la conception de ces dispositifs de soutien à l’écriture, notamment en permettant une meilleure compréhension des difficultés des étudiants. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les concepts de métacognition et d’autor...
This book aims to present some of the latest research in the didactics of space and geometry, deepen some theoretical questions and open up new reflections for discourse. Its focus is as much on the approach of geometry itself and its link with the structuring of space as it is on the practices within the classroom, the dissemination of resources, the use of different artefacts and the training of teachers in this field. We study how spatial knowledge, graphical knowledge and geometric knowledge are taken into account and articulated in the teaching of space and geometry in compulsory schools, teaching resources (programs and textbooks) and current teacher training. We question how the semiotic dimension (language, gestures and signs) of geometric activity can be taken into account, and we identify the role of artefacts (digital or tangible) in the teaching and learning of geometry. This book brings together some fifteen contributions from Frenchspeaking researchers from different countries (France, Switzerland and Canada).
This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the training of academics through the prism of professionalization. The second part questions the teaching practices of academics from a disciplinary approach, from the point of view of the impact of the research discipline on the declared practices, or that of the links between the resources mobilized in research and teaching activities. The third part proposes a sociological look at these practices, in terms of the analysis of the discourses of institutional actors or of practices in situ. The book concludes with a synthesis that develops the main issues, challenges and difficulties that remain at the end of this book.
