"Setting up a weather station in
extreme conditions, whether
in Nunavik or in the Peruvian
Andes at an altitude of over
4,000 meters, is no small feat.
But that’s exactly what the
Engineering Physics Technology
(EPT) students at Cégep
André-Laurendeau have done
as part of their program.
Within this issue of Pédagogie collégiale, the
article "Teachers, Technicians... and a Sage
to Ensure Transfer" presents the CDR
model (contextualization - decontextualization
- recontextualization) used by
the program’s teaching staff to support
sustainable, transferable learning among
students. Our article focuses on the last
step of this model: recontextualization,
through the concrete experiences of
students in the field, in particular that of
Laurence Labrecque, an EPT student. How
does what she has learned in the classroom
apply to real-life situations? What additional
competencies has she developed on
these expeditions? And above all, are the
results of the research ultimately confined
to the intricacies of a Teams team, or have
they found a real echo in the field?" -- AQPC
