The transformations due to the digital revolution and the Covid-19a epidemic invite us to rethink the places and forms of education.\u00a0From now on, it is no longer a question of animating the eternal debate around the integration, or not, of digital tools in teaching practices.\u00a0Thanks to the multiplication of mobile interfaces (computer, smartphone, tablet) equipped with an Internet connection, we can learn everywhere.<\/p>\n
Where do we learn?\u00a0When do we learn?\u00a0With whom and how can we learn?\u00a0The architect\u00a0Fiona Meadows<\/a>\u00a0, in\u00a0charge of programs<\/a>\u00a0at the City of Architecture and Heritage, sheds light on these questions which are today at the heart of public debate through an\u00a0exhibition<\/a>\u00a0entitled\u00a0Trop classe<\/em>\u00a0, presented in Paris at the Maif Social Club of the 25 September 2020 to February 13, 2021.<\/p>\n The choice of this expression deliberately questions the notion of transmission: \u201cit can be seen as positive, synonymous with\u201c G\u00e9nial! \u201d, But it can also be read as the contraction of\u201c too much class \u201d, referring to an\u201c too full \u201d , an excessive presence of the \u201cschool form\u201d \u201d, explains the commissioner.<\/p>\n The scenography is thus organized around an agora, in which we find certain key places of the school – the classroom, the courtyard, the \u201cnap corner\u201d, or even the library – but revisited thanks to the works of the artists. like Filipe Vilas-Boas or Bonnefrite, and opening up new experiences that are both tangible and digital.<\/p>\n At the center of the exhibition, children can grasp the notion of communication through the manipulation of forms in volumes scattered in space.\u00a0Composed of circles, sticks or commas, this\u00a0Sign System<\/em>\u00a0, designed by the studio smarin., Is loosely tangible alphabet created in the XIX\u00a0th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0century by German educator\u00a0Friedrich Froebel<\/a>\u00a0and allows to form words in French and in Arabic.<\/p>\n At a time when we can dialogue in real time with people on the other side of the planet, the question of switching and translating from one language to another also arises.\u00a0The stake is to invite the children to play with the language, to wonder about the way in which one can make community thanks to the association of forms, towards the creation of a common language.<\/p>\n Long before writing was democratized, transmission was based on speaking.\u00a0A direct exchange also transformed by new technologies such as\u00a0voice assistants<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Just like the computer code, made up of 0 and 1 (also called binary language), the dialogue with these conversational machines is codified with the use of ready-made formulas: \u201cHey Siri\u2026?\u00a0“,” Hey, Google, can you\u2026?\u00a0”<\/p>\n But the use of digital tools also makes it possible to preserve all the spontaneity of the dialogue with a child, as evidenced by the interviews conducted by Val\u00e9rie Mr\u00e9jen and Mohamed El Khatib.\u00a0In these videos projected on a wall of the exhibition, the children are questioned in a benevolent way on everyday subjects such as the argument, or their way of explaining certain idioms such as “The skin of the bear”.<\/p>\n In the digital age, the intelligence of doing and of the hand is also in the spotlight.\u00a0Fab labs, these third places of digital manufacturing, are popping up all over France.\u00a0These are spaces accessible to all that promote learning by “doing” (or “Learning by doing”) through the use of digital machines – laser cutters, digital printers, etc.\u00a0– and the dissemination of the \u201copen-source\u201d philosophy.\u00a0With the Covid-19 epidemic, these third places have become more democratic and have become places of production, for gowns and masks for example, as a recent article published on\u00a0Le Monde<\/em><\/a>\u00a0highlights\u00a0.<\/p>\n At the heart of the exhibition \u201cToo Class!\u00a0\u00bbThe\u00ab Mobilab \u00bbby designer Victor Bois, winner of the 7\u00a0th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0edition of the\u00a0MiniMaousse<\/em>\u00a0competition\u00a0on the theme of digital inclusion.\u00a0This mobile fab lab goes to meet the actors and actresses of the territories in which it is established around collaborative projects.<\/p>\n Digital tools encourage a change of posture on the part of the teacher.\u00a0Since information is easily accessible on the Internet, the teacher is no longer the sole master of knowledge.\u00a0It is on this idea that the\u00a0inverted class is<\/a>\u00a0based\u00a0.\u00a0In this teaching practice, students study the lessons at home and do the activities in class, making it easier for them to ask questions or work in groups.<\/p>\n Facing the manipulable alphabet of smarin. , the Mobilab of designer Victor Bois also invites learning by doing. \u201cToo much class\u201d exhibition at the Maif Social Club \/ Marion Voillot , Author provided<\/p><\/div>\n Taking up the principle of the inverted classroom in the exhibition, the artist Bonnefrite invites us to come and draw with chalk on the traditional blackboard of the classroom.\u00a0Throughout the visit, we are invited to participate in the exhibition, just as the student must adopt an active posture in class.<\/p>\n To extend the interaction, tablet applications are available in the center of the scenography.\u00a0Selected by the\u00a0Gray Mouse<\/em>\u00a0, a benchmark in digital education, these applications allow children to develop their “soft skills”, such as collaboration or critical thinking.\u00a0They then rub shoulders with books on the shelves (invented by the same creators as the apps).\u00a0It is therefore no longer a question of opposing book culture and digital culture but of associating them in the same space, within the same culture.<\/p>\n This exhibition, both fun and educational, formally shows us that play is THE vehicle for learning.\u00a0Although put forward by alternative pedagogies for more than a century, the concept of \u201cgame\u201d has nevertheless been neglected for too long in our education systems.\u00a0Since the appearance of video games and the craze around “serious games” and other “escape games”,\u00a0games<\/a>\u00a0are now used as a real educational tool, from kindergarten to continuing education.<\/p>\n The game teaches us that the alternation of trial and error is a source of motivation and memorization in the learning process – unlike the \u201cstupid and evil\u201d punishment, as the work of Filipe Vilas-Boas titled\u00a0The Punishment<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0In this work, a robotic arm endlessly replicates a prevention message to learn that it is forbidden to injure a human (i.e. Azimov’s first law of robotics).\u00a0So what would be the meaning of a sanction which can be accomplished by a machine?<\/p>\n Finally, in a small, almost hidden room, visitors are invited to dream.\u00a0Thanks to\u00a0smarin’s<\/em>\u00a0\u201cKairos\u201d\u00a0.\u00a0the light is regulated according to the heart rate.\u00a0This space invites us to (re) pose to regulate our anxiety, while sleep is increasingly endangered by our screen time.\u00a0This reflection makes it possible to value rest, an essential moment in the\u00a0assimilation of learning<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n Recent developments are shaking up teaching practices, thus inviting us to rethink places of transmission as spaces open to others and to the outside, the city and the territories, whether tangible or virtual.\u00a0The school should now allow everyone to build their course in an interactive, individual and autonomous way, like the course offered in this exhibition.<\/p>\nLanguage and
