Une analyse didactique en terme de milieu pour l’étude: approche spécifique à l’EPS et dialectique de la co-construction

Abstract

In this paper it was attempted to discuss the concrete applications of the «study environment» theories of S. Johsua (1996) within the framework of physical and sports education for 6-7 year-old children during their first year of primary school. It was specified how the main ideas underlying this theory have been implemented. This discussion focuses mainly on the co-construction of the teaching and learning environment. This involves mainly comparing the activities of the teacher with those of the pupils within the didactic system it is proposed to apply. Upon examining these rather unusual concepts and dialectic relationships, the present authors were led to analyze the relevance of a didactic environment in which the objectives of the teacher are gradually superimposed on the adaptive efforts actually made by the pupils. Thus the question arose as to what the prerequisites might be for the gradual process of interpretation expected to occur as the result of the interactions involved in teaching and learning.
