ÉTUDIER LA COVID-19 COMME UNE QUESTION SOCIALEMENT VIVE EN CLASSE DE GÉOGRAPHIE AU BURKINA FASO : UNE ENTRÉE PAR LES CONTENUS D’ENSEIGNEMENT

Abstract

The advent of COVID-19 has, since March 2020, broadened the scope of Socially Acute Questions (SAQ) defined as issues that mobilize and divide both society. The didactic interest of SAQs is based on the fact that they are concerns for which there is no definitive answer. COVID-19 responds to these characteristics and its teaching in geography class aims not only to make it better known but above all to develop in learners skills and attitudes in the face of the pandemic. The study aims to analyze the entries through which the pandemic can be invited into geography class. A literature review of the geography curricula of the four post-primary classes concluded that geography lessons and their general objectives have many inputs for COVID19 education.
