Résumé

This article describes a didactic engineering approach to development and training with a view to ensuring learning continuity in physical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an example of an orienteering course, we demonstrate the dual effect of pandemic constraints on the engineering approach: (a) as a catalyst for the design of didactic sequences that integrate media, images, and ICT to sustain educational games and the cultural transmission of physical education; and (b) as a barrier to school access for testing and validating the produced sequences.

Abstract

This article describes a didactic engineering approach to development and training with a view to ensuring learning continuity in physical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an example of an orienteering course, we demonstrate the dual effect of pandemic constraints on the engineering approach: (a) as a catalyst for the design of didactic sequences that integrate media, images, and ICT to sustain educational games and the cultural transmission of physical education; and (b) as a barrier to school access for testing and validating the produced sequences.
