In the School of Sharing: The Commons in the Teaching of Marion Carbillet and Hélène Mulot
C&F Editions - Collection Les enfants du numérique, April 2019 - 310 Pages
The commons of knowledge invite us to take a fresh look at the transmission of knowledge and citizen autonomy. With digital technology, they allow us to regenerate school dynamics, to learn to share, and to share learning moments. The deployment of digital technologies, particularly the web, has transformed society and the teaching profession. Their initial training is therefore being called into question, even obsolete. This has led to a great deal of questioning about the content to be transmitted to the teenagers in front of them. The meaning of today's teaching had to be questioned.
The two authors, both documentary professors, explain: " We were looking for a global and systemic vision that could give meaning to our pedagogical practice. Both of us have always liked to keep up with the latest research. ".
Knowing how to evaluate information, developing consensus, getting to know each other, and building social relations are the challenges of a school renewal that connects the individual and the collective, strengthens democracy and makes it possible to learn throughout life.
"To pass on a little of the breath that inspires us and the joy we experience every day with the students."
At the heart of this revival are the professors who are documentalists, information and media specialists. The transmission of culture, access to knowledge, learning to be autonomous, collective and personal development are the vocation of the CDIs. They prefigure the learning school that empowers people.
This book offers emancipatory ways to instill the joy of learning. How could this energy also be used to rebuild a school rooted in its time? Beyond the access and enrichment of resources, a new way of thinking and living in society is being built.
