Fake news and AI: How to strengthen the critical judgment of younger people.
Education in critical thinking is not an injunction to rebel against adults or authority, but an apprenticeship in autonomy. A child who knows how to say "no" with discernment is an adult who can protect his or her own convictions and values.
Assessing what's really valuable
Beyond rankings and sterile competitions, rethink school assessment to value the full range of skills developed by students.
Learning to learn with AI
AI is revolutionizing our relationship with knowledge. Beyond fantasies, thoughtful and proactive use of AI can make it a powerful lever for "learning to learn". This involves developing specific meta-skills (questioning, checking, exploring, alternating) and key attitudes (AI as a partner, reflexivity, frustration tolerance). The challenge is to build a human-machine cognitive ecology in which AI enhances our intelligence without replacing it.
The ecological challenge of digital schooling
Digital technology has a heavy environmental cost that is too often ignored. From the earliest age, schools need to raise awareness of the hidden impacts of our digital uses. This is vital if we are to build a more sustainable digital society.
What if goals are a disservice to performance and learning?
Excessive focus on results can paradoxically undermine performance by generating anxiety and paralyzing action. Examples from sport and companies show that there are effective management and pedagogical alternatives.
