Abstract
This article traces a fractal path through educational psychology and philosophy in an attempt to elucidate an arborescent perspective of complementary inter-disciplinary sources of inspiration for a project-based translation pedagogy. Starting with a social-constructivist, project-based approach proposed at the turn of the millennium, an attempt is made to paint a broader picture of the synergistic influences underlying an emerging “holistic-experiential” approach to translator education. Post modernism, enactive cognitive science, complexity theory, transformational educational theory and social-constructivist epistemology are some of the complementary roots that can be seen as potential sources of inspiration to nourish a learning-centered approach to developing translator expertise in institutional settings.
Keywords:
- holistic-experiential learning,
- project-based learning,
- fractal representation,
- enaction,
- interdisciplinarity
Résumé
Le présent article propose un cheminement fractal à travers la psychologie et la philosophie éducative, avec l’intention de faire la lumière sur une représentation arborescente de sources d’inspiration interdisciplinaires et complémentaires pour une pédagogie de la traduction par projets. Commençant par la méthode d’apprentissage socioconstructiviste proposée au tournant du millénaire, notre propos tente de brosser un vaste portrait des influences synergiques sous-jacentes à l’approche émergente « holistique-expérientielle » de la formation en traduction. Le post-modernisme, l’énaction dans les sciences cognitives, la théorie de la complexité, la théorie éducative transformationnelle et l’épistémologie socioconstructiviste sont quelques-unes des racines complémentaires pouvant inspirer et fonder une approche centrée sur l’apprenant visant à développer l’expertise traductionnelle à l’université.
