Distinguishing fact from fiction is a key feature of science. We investigate the use of children literature to develop this ability among 4-6 year old pupils. To this effect, we chose a children book where special laws, different from real-world natural laws, govern the fiction. Eight teachers were trained to teach a ...

De l'école maternelle au laboratoire de recherche, faire et refaire plusieurs fois la même expérience, ou des expériences très proches, répond à une double nécessité : s'assurer de la reproductibilité des résultats particuliers obtenus, mais aussi de la robustesse des lois plus générales qu'on peut en inférer. Si les petits prennent souvent...

Testing the reproducibility of an experiment is considered a good practice in science, and the possibility to reproduce an experiment is a condition of its scientificity. We investigate the ability of children to consider a counterintuitive phenomenon as reproducible. The study involved 62 5-year-old children from 4 classes. They were presented...

La modélisation scientifique présente deux types de difficultés, d'ordre mathématique et formel d'une part, d'ordre épistémologique d'autre part. Leur couplage, au collège, peut participer au dérochage de certains élèves. L'article propose d'anticiper l'acquisition des compétences méthodologiques fondamentales que sont le recul, la navigation...

Après une brève revue des éléments de scientificité classiquement proposés pour la science scolaire dans une approche"top-down", partant d'une vision de la nature de la science professionnelle et essentiellement conçue pour les classes secondaires, et adapté à l'école primaire par affaiblissement progressif des contraintes, nous présentons une...

La notion de profil épistémologique, développée par Bachelard, est appliquée à la notion de science elle-même. Une étude des représentations de la science de 777 enseignants et futurs enseignants a permis de montrer que 66% apparaissent majoritairement empiristes et que 91% n'expriment aucun rationalisme.

Basic elements of scientific methodology are presented as a frame of reference, and a tool to design and implement inquiry-based sequences to 64 Kindergarten teachers. Questionnaires show that teachers welcome the explicit presentation of these elements. Among these, primacy of experiment, reproducibility and robustness of an experiment are...

A bottom-up approach of the nature of science is proposed. Teacher-friendly formulations of criteria of scientificity based on actual classroom practices allow the straightforward derivation of evolutive definitions of kindergarten science from arbitrary criteria subsets, and to distinguish 'scientific' and 'non scientific' practices, even when...

La plupart des analyses sur la nature de la science à l'école relèvent d'une approche "top-down", partant d'une vision de la science professionnelle pour en arriver, par édulcorations successives, à des définitions d'une « science scolaire » accessible aux élèves. Bien adaptée au public des lycées, ayant déjà une idée assez claire de la nature...

This article first seeks to document the vision of the nature of science spontaneously held by French kindergarten teachers, which is deemed weakly operational without specific training. Elements of scientificty that can be incorporated into class practices, and more specifically investigative approaches adapted to kindergarten, are then...
