Pratiquer à l'école une pédagogie interactive

The aim of interactive pedagogy is to favour the involvement of all the children in doing and thinking, leaving no one aside and maintaining the same required standards. Cresas researchers offer an experimental teaching method to teams of teachers willing to have their practice evolve that way, they thereby encourage those teachers to focus their attention on the original ideas that children manifest when doing investigation and free communication activities. Videofilms about such dynamics are submitted to microanalyses, making it possible to grasp the way chidren become acquainted with a set of knowledge and through what microprocesses they elaborate some notional elements in the relevant field. In so far as they jostle the ideas adults have about learning in the making, these new data back up the transformations of the practices of teachers. The analysis of these transformations as well as the analysis of their effects on the children allows to bring to light the action and organization principles fit to arouse and support the involvement of all in the action of learning.Hardy Marianne.
