Alain Bernard et Christine Proust (Eds.)
Ce livre collectif est le résultat de plusieurs années
de séminaires organisés conjointement
par l’axe "histoire des sciences en Asie" de REHSEIS
(aujourd’hui SPHERE)
et le Centre Alexandre Koyré
entre 2005 et 2008.
Tackling two problems : the first, is that of certain sources of scientific knowledge being studied without taking into account the various “contexts” of transmission that gave this knowledge a long-lasting meaning.
The second is that other sources are related to teaching and learning activities, but without being too precise and demonstrative about the existence and nature of this “teaching context”. In other words, this book makes clear what is meant by “context” and highlights the complexity of the practice hidden by the words “teaching” and “learning”. Divided into three parts, the book makes accessible teaching and learning situations, presents comparatist approaches, and emphasizes the notion of teaching as projects embedded in coherent treatises or productions.
