About author : LAISNEY Patrice

Patrice Laisney is a lecturer in didactics of scientific and technological teaching. He is deputy director and responsible for mention 2 of the MEEF master's degree at INSPE Aix-Marseille University. He is a member of the “Training Artefacts” (AF) and “Effectiveness, Artifact, Science and Technology” (EAST) research programs within the Educational Sciences Laboratory Learning, Didactics, Evaluation, Training (UR 4671 ADEF) of Aix-Marseille University.

His research work carried out within the framework of the AF and EAST programs focuses on the effectiveness of teaching-learning processes and the role of artifacts (semiotic or material instruments) in the teaching of science and technology, in middle school and in high school. His work is part of this perspective and contributes to the development of design teaching within the framework of “technological education for all”. This involves studying in particular the role of digital tools used by the teacher and students in their activity of designing technical objects and on the other hand modeling the teaching-learning process at work in technological education. . With this in mind, it mobilizes activity theories to understand the teaching-learning processes, from the identification of reference knowledge to its actual teaching, the role of instruments as teaching objects and mediators in educational activity. He participates in several research projects, has published a book, eight book chapters, and four articles.
