Abstract
Can children genuinely create new knowledge, as opposed to merely carrying out activities that resemble those of mature scientists and innovators? The answer is yes, provided the comparison is not to works of genius but to standards that prevail in ordinary research communities. One important product of knowledge creation is concepts and tools that enable further knowledge creation. This is the kind of knowledge creation of greatest value in childhood education. Examples of it, drawn from elementary school knowledge-building classrooms, are examined to show both the attainability and the authenticity of knowledge creation to enable knowledge creation. It is mainly achieved through students’ theory building, and it is a powerful way of converting declarative knowledge to productive knowledge.
Les enfants peuvent-ils créer une nouvelle connaissance, plutôt que de mener des activités qui s’apparentent à celles des scientifiques et des inventeurs d’expérience ? La réponse est oui, à condition que la comparaison ne se fasse pas avec des travaux effectués par des génies, mais avec des normes prévalant dans la plupart des communautés de recherche. Un des produits importants de la création de la connaissance est l’élaboration de concepts et d’outils qui permettent une création de la connaissance plus poussée. Voilà le type de création de connaissance possédant la plus grande valeur dans l’éducation d’un enfant. Des exemples, tirés de classes du primaire en coélaboration de connaissances, sont examinés pour démontrer la possibilité d’atteindre de tels résultats, ainsi que l’authenticité du processus conduisant à la création du savoir. Ces objectifs sont principalement atteints grâce à une construction théorique provenant des élèves. Il s’agit là d’une manière puissante de passer d’une connaissance déclarative à une connaissance productive.
