Mots-clés :
Pedagogy issuesRésumé
This study investigated the critical thinking manifestations of three Health and Physical Education (HPE) Teachers during the teaching/learning process in three elementary school HPE classes. Based on the conceptual framework of critical thinking developed by Lipman (1991, 1995, 2006), the present study describes and interprets the elements of this form of thinking in Physical Education Teachers. The results of the present study indicate that although critical thinking is not manifested in the same manner in all three teachers, it does however appear as a problem-solving process with the objective of optimizing students’ learning.
Cette étude examine les manifestations de la pensée critique chez trois enseignants d’éducation physique et à la santé lors du processus enseignement-apprentissage dans trois écoles primaires. Se basant sur la conception de la pensée critique mise de l’avant par Lipman (1991, 1995, 2006), la présente étude décrit et interprète les éléments de cette forme de pensée chez des enseignants d’éducation physique et santé. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que bien que la pensée critique ne s’exprime pas de la même manière chez tous ces trois enseignants, elle apparaît toutefois comme un processus de résolution de problème avec pour principal objectif l’optimisation de l’apprentissage des élèves.
