D\u00e9velopp\u00e9 dans le cadre d\u2019un m\u00e9moire de recherche (Boulay, 2023), le projet interdisciplinaire \u00ab Des trajets renversants ! a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 avec des \u00e9l\u00e8ves de 3e cycle du primaire dans une \u00e9cole de Laval avec l\u2019objectif de d\u00e9velopper leur pens\u00e9e critique en abordant cette question scientifiquement et socialement vive (QSSV).<\/p>\n<h3>Les questions scientifiquement et socialement vives<\/h3>\n<p>Le transport des hydrocarbures \u00e9tant un sujet d\u2019actualit\u00e9 controvers\u00e9 sur les plans politique, social et scientifique, ce savoir peut \u00eatre associ\u00e9 \u00e0 une QSSV, ce qui am\u00e8ne l\u2019enseignant et l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 traiter ce type de savoir avec une posture critique (Alpe et Barthes, 2013). Les QSSV servent de questionnement initial \u00e0 une situation probl\u00e9matique complexe demandant l\u2019\u00e9laboration de liens interdisciplinaires entre les sciences de la nature et les sciences humaines et sociales (Legardez et Simonneaux, 2006). Pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la QSSV, il faudra porter un jugement critique bas\u00e9 sur des crit\u00e8res \u00e9tablis. Bien que ces t\u00e2ches soient difficiles cognitivement, les \u00e9l\u00e8ves du 3e cycle du primaire sont en mesure de les r\u00e9aliser avec l\u2019aide de l\u2019enseignant (Dion-Routhier, 2018).<\/p>\n<h3>La d\u00e9marche d\u2019investigation interdisciplinaire <\/h3>\n<p>Pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 une QSSV, il faut mobiliser des savoirs associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la science, \u00e0 la technologie et \u00e0 l\u2019univers social. Toutefois, pour construire ces savoirs, ces disciplines mettent en place diff\u00e9rentes d\u00e9marches d\u2019investigation, soit la d\u00e9marche d\u2019investigation scientifique (Cariou, 2015) et la d\u00e9marche d\u2019enqu\u00eate g\u00e9ographique (Duquette, 2016). Or, ces deux types de d\u00e9marche disciplinaire se basent essentiellement sur le m\u00eame mod\u00e8le : d\u00e9terminer un probl\u00e8me, formuler une question ou une hypoth\u00e8se, planifier et r\u00e9aliser l\u2019investigation, et proposer des explications ou des solutions. Ainsi, les \u00e9l\u00e8ves devront s\u2019engager dans une d\u00e9marche d\u2019investigation interdisciplinaire comprenant ces quatre phases. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb3_5,2_5&Prime; _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb10px|auto|10px|auto|true|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true\u00a0\u00bb border_color_all=\u00a0\u00bb#962F93&Prime; global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb3_5&Prime; _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbDescription\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.4&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb header_3_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.7em\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb0px||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb20px|20px|0px|20px|false|true\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h3>Phase de probl\u00e9matisation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le projet commence par la pr\u00e9sentation de trois vid\u00e9os illustrant la probl\u00e9matique associ\u00e9e au transport du p\u00e9trole.

Tout d\u2019abord, les \u00e9l\u00e8ves utilisent presque exclusivement les informations qu\u2019ils ont trouv\u00e9es sur le web.

Conducted as part of a master\u2019s thesis (Boulay, 2023), the interdisciplinary project Des trajets renversants! was carried out with third-cycle elementary students at a school in Laval with the aim of developing their critical thinking skills by exploring this scientifically and socially significant issue (SSSI).<\/p><h3>Scientifically and socially significant issues (SSSIs)<\/h3><p>Since the transportation of hydrocarbons is a current and controversial topic from a political, social and scientific perspective, it can be categorized as a scientifically and socially significant issue (SSSI). This classification encourages both teacher and student to approach the issue with a critical mindset (Alpe & Barthes, 2013). SSSIs serve as the starting point for complex problem-based situations that require the development of interdisciplinary connections between natural sciences and social sciences (Legardez & Simonneaux, 2006). In order to address an SSSI, one must exercise critical judgment based on established criteria. Although such tasks are cognitively demanding, third-cycle elementary students are capable of completing them with the support of their teacher (Dion-Routhier, 2018).<\/p><h3>The interdisciplinary inquiry process<\/h3><p>To address a scientifically and socially significant issue, students must draw on previous knowledge from the scientific, technological and social realms. However, to acquire this knowledge, students must use distinct inquiry approaches in each discipline \u2013 namely, the scientific inquiry process (Cariou, 2015) and the geographic inquiry process (Duquette, 2016). Despite disciplinary differences, both approaches follow a similar model: identifying a problem, formulating a question or hypothesis, planning and conducting the inquiry and suggesting explanations or solutions. Therefore, students are expected to engage in an interdisciplinary inquiry process that integrates these four steps.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"3_5,2_5\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"10px|auto|10px|auto|true|false\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" border_color_all=\"#962F93\" custom_padding=\"10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][et_pb_column type=\"3_5\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Description\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"20px|20px|0px|20px|false|true\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\" header_3_line_height=\"1.7em\"]<\/p><h3>Step 1: Introducing the problem<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project began with the presentation of three videos illustrating the issues related to oil transportation. Next, to help students become familiar with the concepts of fossil energy and oil, they were asked to draw a diagram representing the four phases of oil production (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image 1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This knowledge could later be used to help them address the SSSI.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before presenting the SSSI to the students, they were shown two news reports on oil transportation \u2013 one by pipeline and the other by ship. This was followed by a class discussion based on the two reports, which led to the following SSSI:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWould building a pipeline between Montr\u00e9al and L\u00e9vis be a viable alternative to transporting oil by ship on the St. Lawrence River?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on this SSSI, students were then asked to create a concept map that included all the elements to consider in order to answer the question (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image 2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the diagrams were completed, students were invited to come up to the board to write their responses on a sheet of paper. As a whole group, these responses were then sorted to highlight three lines of inquiry: environmental safety, human safety and economic impact. These three inquiry paths guided students while they gathered information.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"2_5\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\"

Inquiry<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After identifying the lines of inquiry, students were invited to formulate and justify a hypothesis related to the SSSI (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image 3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for planning the inquiry, the class identified three key steps: researching information for the three categories, analyzing the pipeline route using a map and simulating an oil spill to observe its consequences. The teacher prepared a logbook to help students record the information they gathered at each stage of the project.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being taught the 5Ws and H strategy (Mottet, 2021), students were divided into expert teams. Each group searched for and read online articles to find information related to their assigned line of inquiry. They recorded the information on the classroom concept map and in their logbooks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As students were unable to identify the various stakeholders involved in the pipeline project on their own, the class completed this part together using one text from TransCanada (2011) and another from the advocacy group <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coule pas chez nous<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2013).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the Cartograf software available on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recitus.qc.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R\u00c9CITUS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> website, students analyzed the pipeline route on a geographic map and identified the human and natural environments it crosses (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image 4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The map included information about the route that the students could add to their notes. They also had access to satellite images, which significantly facilitated their work. Students wrote their observations in a comparison chart in their logbooks (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image 5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the final step of the inquiry, the students decided to conduct a simulation of an oil spill. They designed pipeline prototypes running through sandy, clay and loamy soil using clear pipes, transparent plastic containers and straws.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more advanced team was tasked with simulating an oil spill in a river using a cooler. Students recorded their results in their logbooks and identified which type of soil would be most effective in minimizing the impact of an oil spill (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ROVncuQj7o4OVdbDW9a0ivEA6xOtgzze0YwSOflDric\/edit?tab=t.0\">Image 6<\/a>).<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"10px|auto|10px|auto|true|false\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" border_width_all=\"3px\" border_color_all=\"#1C7CC0\" custom_padding=\"10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Description\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"0px|20px|0px|20px|false|true\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\" header_3_line_height=\"1.7em\" ul_item_indent=\"45px\"]<\/p><h3>Step 3: Conceptualization<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the students wrote an opinion piece and took part in a debate. This is where their ability to apply critical thinking skills was primarily assessed. The evaluation was carried out using an analysis grid based on the five dimensions of critical thinking:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategies and skills<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students\u2019 attitude<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adherence to the criteria for judgment (the three lines of inquiry)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the vocabulary related to critical thinking<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that the SSSI was modified at this stage of the project. The original question felt too abstract to the students, and they struggled to answer it. It was therefore reformulated as: \u201cAre you for or against the construction of a pipeline through the Sainte-Doroth\u00e9e neighbourhood?\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By turning the SSSI into a local issue, students found it easier to construct arguments for both the debate and the opinion piece (Sgard et al., 2017).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For their opinion text, students evaluated the pipeline route based on the data collected throughout each step of the project. For the debate, students were paired into teams of two according to their stance on the SSSI. In each debate, two opposing teams faced off while following the rules established by the whole class. Most students enjoyed the experience and demonstrated attentive listening and a surprising openness.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\"row\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Description\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"-25px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||0px|||\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p><h3>SSSIs and the development of critical thinking skills<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analysis of the project data revealed several key findings related to critical thinking. First, students relied almost exclusively on information they found online even though they had successfully completed the pipeline route analysis and oil spill simulation activities. This suggests that they placed greater value on knowledge found on the internet than on knowledge acquired together in class. It was also apparent that most students struggled with source criticism, as well as with selecting and organizing the information they found. This highlights the importance of providing explicit instruction and appropriate support for these tasks, including modelling how to effectively use online research tools. Another observation was that students had difficulty distinguishing between facts and opinions during the debates. However, this distinction was not explicitly taught, which may account for the challenges they faced in this area.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a positive note, six students were able to apply four out of the five dimensions of critical thinking over the course of the project. Considering that these dimensions had never been explicitly taught and that critical thinking is a skill that develops over time, it would be worthwhile to replicate this type of project \u2013 centered on the study of a SSSI \u2013 with elementary-level students who have received explicit instruction on critical thinking and had the opportunity to practice it over a longer period. This would allow for a more in-depth study of their level of development.<\/span><\/p><h3>Conclusion<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, this interdisciplinary project demonstrates that students need time and support to develop critical thinking skills and the associated dimensions. Some students in this study showed promising signs of progress. A study focusing on the work of elementary students who receive systematic instruction in critical thinking would help better identify teaching and learning situations that effectively support its development.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[974,108],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-fr","category-salon-fr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6431"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6531,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431\/revisions\/6531"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
