GUTIERREZ, Laurent. INDIVIDUALIZING HIGH SCHOOL IN FRANCE (1930S): A TRANSPOSITION ATTEMPT OF ACTIVE METHODS BY HENRI BOUCHET. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.59, pp.16-29. Epub July 19, 2021. ISSN 2358-0194. https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2020.v29.n59.p16-29.
Henri Bouchet belongs, with his thesis about teaching individualization, to the new education pedagogues group, that fed the debates around the need to reform high school in the 1930s. Rational teaching supporters inspired by the American Helen Parkhurst, their works question the way it is possible to transpose and spread the Dalton Plan method in France. This paper shows how this militant of active methods, whose works were roughly discussed at university environment, stablishes the general factors of the individuality as a whole that rules the way and progress of human thought. Pedagogue above all, Henri Bouchet wishes to work “for and by the concrete” inviting those that will read him to try the active method experiences in their classrooms.
