Résumé:
"To say that the world is changing is to state the
obvious. But we have to admit that life today often
gives us the impression that everything is changing
so fast that we can’t keep up. In the face of these
fast-paced transformations, anxiety can paralyze us
and trap us in a feeling of powerlessness. I think it’s
important to remember that change has another
face: that of creativity, the enthusiasm of discovery, adventure and learning. In my mind, there is no
more powerful tool than these to confront the complexity of our world and to give us back the feeling that we can act, and that if the world can force us to
change, we too can transform the world. It’s from this
rejection of powerlessness, I think, that comes my
interest in pedagogical innovation (PI), which in my
eyes is, in an educational context, the embodiment of
the creative enthusiasm mentioned earlier. It’s what
led me to get involved in PI projects, first as a teacher,
and then as a researcher. It’s also what prompted
me to reflect on it as part of my professional doctorate
at the Université de Sherbrooke." -- AQPC
