Création d’un outil d’enseignement au sein d’un réseau littéraire d’auteur qui vise la réponse de l’élève au 3e cycle du primaire

Since the introduction of Apprécier les œuvres littéraires (MEQ, 2001) competency among ministerial prescriptions in 2001, elementary school teachers often feel powerless to offer their students an education that can support their learning. It is to meet this need that this doctoral research develops a tool that aims to produce a sequence of activities that establish a significant relationship between reading and writing by targeting the response (Rosenblatt, 1938, 1978). This will be done through the exploitation of the literary text in the third cycle at elementary school, and this, thanks to the exploitation processes transpose and imitate. These processes of exploitation (Montésinos-Gelet, 2016) enrich the reading comprehension model of Irwin (1986, 2007). The work of children’s literature by Simon Boulerice as part of a literary network supports this company.  The objective of this research is the creation of such a tool. Its validation was done in two stages. First, two experts in French didactic commented on the tool and an expert teacher tested a prototype of the tool. Next, three expert teachers conducted a second test of an improved prototype. This research also aims to support the teaching of the Apprécier les œuvres littéraires (MEQ, 2001) competency. The research was validated by the four expert teachers in two stages: 1) before using the tool and 2) after with the Comp. A.S. (Parmentier and Paquay, 2002).  The reflective approach governs the collection of data. Two analytic approaches were undertaken: first, the analysis of logbooks was conducted through four of the five components of the theoretical model of the teacher multi-agenda (Bucheton and Soulé, 2009), namely, driving tasks, atmosphere, knitting and scaffolding. Next, grid analysis was conducted, which is intrinsic to the Parmentier and Paquay (2002) model, since it was designed by the authors to detail the ingredients of competencies construction.   The results highlight 1) the few changes to the tool; (2) the predominance, in the context of the objective, of the notion of scaffolding over knitting; 3) the reverse for the purpose of the target of the objective, namely the predominance of knitting over scaffolding. A superposition of analysis models highlights the primacy of knitting and the under-representation of the process transpose. During the discussion, the constituent relations of the tool, namely the pedagogical, transmission and appropriation relations, and also deepened thanks to the scientific literature, drawing on concepts of instrumentation, legitimacy, declared practices and teaching beliefs.   In conclusion, the need to continue the didactic path offered by the Montésinos-Gelet (2016) exploitation processes is recommended, such as looking more specifically at the professional development formation for the process transpose. In addition, paying attention to the notion of de-scaffolding seems relevant. Finally, in a future context, considering the analysis the productions of the students would contribute to pursuing the tracks revealed in this research.
