[Via Mathemagenic, via OLDaily] D’ici à ce que je trouve le temps de le commenter de façon plus exhaustive, je me contenterai de signaler l’existence de ce texte de Hans Siggaard Jensen, research director au Learning Lab Denmark
Le OPEN-ENDED MANIFESTO ON RESEARCH AND LEARNING m’apparaît être un texte absolument fondamental pour qui s’intéresse aujourd’hui aux contours changeants de l’apprentissage. Un texte à lire, relire et discuter. [Aussi disponible en .pdf]
Je pourrais en citer pratiquement chacun des trente-cinq paragraphes, mais je me limiterai pour le moment aux deux premiers:
§1. We must think, act and learn informally.
I believe that the following is important for our understanding of learning:
If more and more are going to learn more and more then we will have to focus both on formal and informal learning and learning situations,
We will have to understand informal learning much better and develop adequate forms of pedagogy and didactics for informal learning,
We will have to recognise that informal learning is typically social learning.
§2. To live is to learn and to learn is to live.
We will be moving from a theoretical focus on constructivist theories of learning based on a cognitivistic conception of the mind, to a more social understanding of learning as integrated with the forms of life we are part of.
Et que dire de la fin du manifeste… tout simplement brillante, et qui donne toute sa crédibilité à l’ensemble du texte: « Please continue the manifesto ».
