Sortir hors de la classe : apports didactiques d’un dispositif d’expérimentations sensibles en géographie

Abstract

The experiential field trip is an original practice in schools for two reasons. First, by concentrating on “open air” geography (Chevalier, 2007), it contrasts with “workshop geography” during which documents, selected by the instructor and analysed within the classroom replace the real world. Second, by choosing to work “with” space and not just “on” space, it contrasts with more normalised field trips. Far from Lecture-Field trips or Questionnaire-Field trips, the experiential field trip is based on what happens in the here and now and uses various processes that give way to Play-field trips, Connected-field trips, Derivated-field trips, soundwalks.
