Comment et par qui la danse en éducation prépare-t-elle les jeunes aux défis de demain ? Perspectives de la France et du Québec pour l’horizon 2030

Abstract

In 2018, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) published a report entitled Future of Education and Skills: Education Project 2030, inviting its 38 member countries to give priority to the acquisition of “transformative” skills in their education policies. In this Quebec (Canada) – France contribution, we have identified the most relevant research findings from the past thirty years that describe how and under what conditions certain components of so-called transformative competencies are developed in the school setting: how can personal well-being, a sense of community, inclusiveness, adaptability, creativity, and openness be developed in conjunction with the teaching and learning of dance? And how do we train dance teachers to do this? After outlining these findings from the content analysis of the literature (L’Écuyer, 1987 ; Bardin, 1998), we make recommendations for training dance teachers to develop transformative skills in students, placing them at the foundation of their ability to act.
