Aims

- to understand the specificity of the learning processes in educational context.
- to know the neuropsychological and cognitive constraints underlying these processes.
- to know the main models of learning for reading and arithmetics and for transdisciplinarian skills such as the problem solving,...
- to integrate the models of learning and the models of motivation and of emotional processes.
- to use these models in order to understand the interindividual differences and the learning disorders, and to appraise these disorders in order to develope strategies of intervention.

Main themes

- specificity of learning in educational context (didactic relation, didactic transposition, epistemic barrier...)
- models of learning (tackling of the main models of learning and analysis of their implications at school ...)
- representation of the knowledge (working memory, organisation of the knowledge in the long term memory, declarative and procedural knowledge...)
- acquisition of knowledge (acquisition of the propositions and schemes; acquisition of procedural knowledge; learning to learn...)
- transfer and monitoring
- motivation to learn and emotional components of learning
- sexual and cultural differences in the learning processes
- to learn the mathematics (numerical acquisitions; arithmetic operations; dyscalcumia...)
