Knowledge text and reasoning in factorial and human genetics in Benin republic colleges

Abstract

To reason, to make cognitive activities of problem solving is the leitmotiv of the Benin republicprogram through the Sciences of the Life and Earth (SVT). In Life Science (SV), formal genetics and human genetics are among the tools used in our colleges to solve problems by reinvesting the learning situation N°1: Genetic information: Nature, location and mechanism of transmission. Does the production of a text of knowledge in genetics require an apprenticeship and how do learners produce knowledge texts at the level of which they do not differentiate between information and interpretation? Our research has attempted to understand the intellectual operations ofstudents in the elaboration of a text of knowledge. The analysis of some teaching sequences, copies of evaluations and interviews of the baccalaureatecandidates show that the instructions develop in students the formalization of stages of an explanatory reasoning where the already known is used to solve a problem Genetic problem. The two groups of students used for research leads us to identify twocategories of students: responding students and reflective students.
