Presentation
The rise of dogmatic ideologies, the development of social media, and the constant search for media scoops accelerating the spread of alternative facts and conspiracy theories, as well as the absence or refusal to prioritize information (etc.), are leading to the questioning of scientific knowledge and its construction within society. The Republican school system, intended to be secular in order to promote the emancipation of the individual, is by no means immune to the intrusion of beliefs into the education of students and the questioning of the knowledge taught. It is precisely these pressing issues for schools and learning that our study day aims to examine.
