Scientific expertise and outcomes often give rise to controversy. An educational response that equips students to take part in such discussions is the teaching of socially acute questions (SAQs). With SAQs, the understanding of uncertainty, risk and how knowledge is developed is central. This study explores the way in which students from different disciplines and different continents are brought together via a digital platform to explore SAQs about environmental issues (a green algae outbreak linked to release of fertilisers along the coast of Brittany; the construction of a desalination plant near Melbourne to produce freshwater; and changes in meat consumption on a global scale, with regard to population projections in 2050). We have developed frameworks for looking at the quality of the collective reasoning and at the nature of students’ interactions, so that we can analyse the organisation of the learning communities and the building of collegial expertise. The results show that interdisciplinary discussions, especially on an international scale, foster the understanding of complex situations. In this paper, we discuss the modalities of one didactic scenario to enhance critical thinking and collaborative work, and to provide space for learners to support argumentation.

Cette etude a vise plusieurs objectifs. Elle s’est situee au milieu du parcours de formation initiale d’enseignant(e)s de l’enseignement agricole en Zootechnie, Agronomie et Sciences Economiques et Sociales, apres une initiation a la didactique. Nous avons construit le protocole pour donner du corps a cette initiation et faire experimenter aux enseignant(e)s des conflits cognitifs et socio-cognitifs. Le protocole vise egalement l’illustration du traitement didactique de questions socialement vives sur la relation alimentation-environnement. Il comporte une succession de « scenes » elaboree a priori. Chaque scene correspond a un jeu didactique. Au cours de ce scenario, nous avons cherche a perturber « la continuite du savoir » en menageant des « coups de theâtre ». Les coups de theâtre de ce scenario ne visaient pas une discontinuite du savoir, mais une complexification. Il s’agissait de rendre sensibles les enseignant(e)s a d’autres possibles. Nous souhaitions egalement developper leur questionnement sur la construction des savoirs scientifiques. A l’issue de ce travail, les enseignant(e)s interrogent leurs a priori sur les comportements a favoriser pour limiter les impacts negatifs de l’alimentation sur l’environnement. Ils questionnent la polemique scientifique soulevee, la legitimite de choisir differentes methodologies dans la construction des savoirs. Ils envisagent entre autres la mise en place de jeux didactiques perturbateurs avec leurs eleves pour favoriser leur rationalite critique.

An activist orientation, as it is understood in the ‘STEPWISE’ approach, reveals the limitations of the current society (e.g., world ultraliberalism, capitalism, consumerism). We discuss here STEPWISE foundations for the emancipation of individuals and/or communities. STEPWISE promotes scientific education for students in postures of actors and researchers. Like the Socially Acute Questions (SAQ) approach, in which we identify similarities with the STEPWISE approach, an educational triple orientation is followed: scientific, social and political education.
