Developing research and literacy skills in primary and secondary schools

This book is aimed at anyone interested in developing the research and literacy skills essential to academic success and the formation of reflective citizens. More specifically, it is aimed at those who teach or will be teaching history (the social universe) at primary or secondary level.

At a time when knowledge is subject to the intensification of communication practices and the multiplication of sources from which we can obtain information and learn, it is essential to develop research and literacy skills in students that are adapted to the 21st century. To contribute to the development of these skills, this book proposes to multiply the number of documents at school - in paper and digital formats - from which students are invited to build their understanding of the realities of yesterday and today. Theoretical and practical bridges are built between the didactics of history and the didactics of French, particularly the didactics of reading. This cross-disciplinary approach sheds light on pedagogical practices that enable students to learn to read and to deal effectively and critically with the various sources that enable them to come to terms with the world and with knowledge.
