« En remote c’est très lonely »–Dessins et discours d’enfants sur l’enseignement comodal pendant la pandémie
Résumé
This study focuses on students' perceptions of a quasi-unprecedented classroom situation during the Covid-19 pandemic. At the time of the research, conducted in a French high school in the United States between November 2020 and April 2021, the CM2 class (last year of elementary school in the French system) of a teacher, Marion, included 21 students. Among them, 19 attended face-to-face classes while two were kept at home by their parents to attend school remotely with self-study work (with Google Classroom) and synchronous class time (through videoconferencing). This co-modal situation became widespread during the pandemic and could occur again in the future. Comodality is one of the focal points of the "Français Plus" research project. Based on drawings and interviews with children, our study examines the object of students' attention in a situation where knowledge is strongly mediated by technology.
