Élie Tarakdjian's work, 'Learning Assessment: Foundations and Purposes', published by Artichaut Editions, offers an innovative exploration of education in Quebec at the beginning of the century.
This pedagogical renewal is based on a philosophy centered on the student, positioning them not only as a receiver but also as a builder of their own knowledge. The emphasis is on learning processes rather than outcomes, thus valuing individual methods of understanding and knowledge construction. The interaction between the student and the teacher is viewed from a new, multidirectional and dynamic angle, thanks to advances in the psychology of learning and in didactics. This contemporary perspective is widely accepted and implemented by educators, who are constantly adapting their methods to reflect these changes. The work raises crucial questions about the integration of teaching, learning, and assessment, suggesting an inseparability between these elements.
It aims to establish assessment as a tool for the development of the student, accurately reflecting their skill level, and not just as a means of measuring achievements.
