Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The Educational reform of 1902 aimed to transform the teaching of natural history, which followed a contrived deductive presentation and was vitiated by verbalism, thereby unnecessarily taxing memory. Teaching was thereafter to contribute to training the mind, by developing the faculties of observation, comparison and generalization. The reform sought to develop practical and individual exercises, which in turn required equipment lacking in most of the schools. The commitment of teachers and members of the Union of the naturalists, as much as the periodic instructions, were responsible for this slow transformation and provided natural history courses with a new epistemology in which practical work played a central role.
