Abstract

Although the importance of literacy is widely acknowledged in society and remains at the top of the political agenda, writing has been slow to establish a place in the cognitive sciences. Olson argues that to understand the cognitive implications of literacy, it is necessary to see reading and writing as providing access to and consciousness of aspects of language, such as phonemes, words and sentences, that are implicit and unconscious in speech. Reading and writing create a system of metarepresentational concepts that bring those features of language into consciousness as a subject of discourse. This consciousness of language is essential not only to acquiring literacy but also to the formation of systematic thought and rationality. The Mind on Paper is a compelling exploration of what literacy does for our speech and hence for our thought, and will be of interest to readers in developmental psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, and education.

Abstract

Understanding, as Descartes, Locke and Kant all insisted, is the primary 'faculty' of the mind; yet our modern sciences have been slow to advance a clear and testable account of what it means to understand, of children's acquisition of this concept and, in particular, how children come to ascribe understanding to themselves and others. By drawing together developmental and philosophical theories, this book provides a systematic account of children's concept of understanding and places understanding at the heart of children's 'theory of mind'. Children's subjective awareness of their own minds, of what they think, depends on learning a language for ascribing mental states to themselves and others. This book will appeal to researchers in developmental psychology, cognitive science, education and philosophy who are interested in the cognitive and emotional development of children and in the more basic question of what it means to have a mind.

Abstract

On impute à l?école nombre de difficultés : baisse du niveau, échecs trop importants, discipline défaillante? malgré les progrès que la psychologie a apportés dans la compréhension de l?enfant et dans l?amélioration des pratiques pédagogiques. Largement inspirées par les acquis de la psychologie, les réformes scolaires seraient-elles impossibles ? La psychologie serait-elle impuissante à améliorer le système ?Loin de dénigrer la théorie psychologique, David Olson tente d?expliquer les raisons de ce divorce. Il nous invite à prendre en considération une dimension de l?école qui demeure souvent cachée : la dimension institutionnelle. Cette occultation a des conséquences très contre-productives en terme d?analyse et d?action. En effet, elle entretient la confusion entre deux dimensions qui parcourent le système scolaire : celle des enfants engagés comme élèves dans un processus cognitif et culturel complexe, et celle de l?école comme institution, régie par des normes, des règles, des contrôles qui visent à assurer une continuité de service dans le temps et dans l?espace. Or, la psychologie n?a pas réellement prise sur cette dimension proprement sociologique de l?institution qui concerne d'abord les enseignants et les cadres du système et aussi l'ensemble de la bureaucratie dont nos sociétés développées sont porteuses.Pour mieux réformer l?école, il faut donc ne pas confondre ces deux dimensions et repenser en composante institutionnelle avec ses propres ressorts.
