  • Lecturer
Description
  • Coordinator of the project 'Recherche en Perspective' by Ohme and La Cambre. Each academic year, master’s students in graphic design and researchers in different scientific fields share, learn from each other and exchange on how to best popularize, represent and communicate highly complex scientific research, for the benefit of a large audience as well as the artists and scientists themselves. The outcomes: communication materials popularizing complex scientific research.

Cette communication traite des préconceptions présentes dans la structure cognitive d'étudiants universitaires dans le domaine des sciences, en particulier en théorie des circuits électriques. Une phase de diagnostic, via l'analyse de près de 800 copies d'examens, a révélé que nos étudiants sont sujets à des préconceptions rarement évoquées dans la...

Thesis
Full-text available
Each teacher can experience it every day: students come to science courses with prior knowledge which can act both as building blocks and as obstacles for new learning. It is widely acknowledged that preconceptions are present at both pre-university and university level, in particular in general physics education. These preconceptions may constitut...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Les préconceptions ont été activement étudiées en tant qu’élément-clé des difficultés d’apprentissage. Elles ont été rapportées dans une large palette de disciplines, dont l’électricité. Nous investiguons ici l’application d’une formalisation particulière de ce phénomène à l’enseignement de la théorie des circuits en école d’ingénieurs. Notre démar...

We propose a new instructional theory, the Domain of Validity (DoV) Framework, which offers a new way forward for designing teaching for conceptual change, while also resolving conflicts between existing theories related to common, difficult-to-change conceptions students have about particular scientific topics. We propose that knowledge consists o...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Les erreurs récurrentes observées chez les étudiants peuvent parfois, voire souvent, être expliquées en exploitant l’idée de préconception selon laquelle un étudiant construit son apprentissage en s’appuyant sur des concepts antérieurs. Les préconceptions, parce qu’elles sont susceptibles d’entrer en conflit avec l’assimilation de nouveaux savoirs,...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Our research studies about student’s prior knowledge acting as learning difficulties (referred to as preconceptions) in electricity courses at university level led us to define knowledge as the association of two elements: a model and a domain of validity (DoV). This statement is the core of the DoV framework. This framework reveals its powerfulnes...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Un concept bien connu en didactique des sciences est celui de préconception. Fondé notamment par Piaget et Bachelard au début du XXe siècle, son essence est de considérer que l’élève n’arrive pas vierge dans une séquence d’apprentissage : ses connaissances préalables peuvent entrer en contradiction avec les connaissances à enseigner, jusqu’à consti...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This communication deals with misconceptions in the cognitive structure of 2nd-year engineering students at university level, especially in Circuit Theory. An examination analysis of almost 800 students’ examination scripts confirmed that these students are prone to misconceptions. Moreover, it revealed the latter are rarely, if ever, addressed by...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Il existe des similarités entre le processus d'apprentissage et le processus d'innovation scientifique (Espinoza, 2005). Tous deux consistent en la construction de nouvelles connaissances, en la création et l'acquisition de modèles toujours plus performants pour représenter la réalité. Selon Clement, « Si la recherche peut être vue comme une créati...
