LA MÉTHODOLOGIE D'ENQUÊTE À L'APPRENTISSAGE ET L'ENSEIGNEMENT DES SCIENCES : CARACTÉRISTIQUES ET QUESTIONS OUVERTES
Abstract
Cet article présente un sommaire des réflexions, questions et caractéristiques de la méthodologie de l'enquête à l'apprentissage et l'enseignement des sciences, qui aborde des aspects de la matière de la maternelle au secondaire. Après un premier aperçu du champ conceptuel, les facteurs qui contribuent à l'implication active des élèves dans le processus d'apprentissage et le rythme de ces approches sont mis en lumière. L'enquête en classe où les sciences sont enseignées ainsi que les avantages et inconvénients de la méthode d'enseignement/apprentissage par enquête sont également abordés.
This article presents a summary of reflections, questions and characteristics of the methodology of inquiry in the learning and teaching of science, which touches on aspects of the subject from kindergarten to secondary education. After an initial outline of the conceptual field, the factors that contribute to the active involvement of students in the learning process and the pace of such approaches are highlighted. Also discussed is the inquiry in the classroom in which the sciences are taught as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the inquiry-based teaching/learning method.
