Keywords:
curriculum theory, curriculum development, curriculum implementation, curriculum evaluation, teacher participation, Canada Studies Foundation, Project Canada West, educational innovationAbstract
L'auteur est un théoricien en didactique qui s'est associé aux travaux de la Fondation dans le Projet Canada ouest; dans cet article il évoque ses expériences et souligne trois problèmes liés à l'élaboration didactique: (1) le rapport entre la théorie et la pratique; (2) la nécessité de repenser les problèmes associés à la mise à effet des programmes; (3) la nécessité d'avoir de nouveaux modèles d'évaluation des programmes. L'auteur de cette étude largement centrée sur le sous-projet SURT (Study of Urban-Rural Transition) conclut que l'expérience de la Fondation à cette date offre de nouvelles possibilités d'élaboration de principes et de méthodes permettant de rehausser la dimension théorique de l'élaboration didactique qui intéresse tant de spécialistes.
