Titre : Ludopedagogy, actors and ideologie Auteurs : Michel Lavigne, Revue : Educations Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 6 Date : 2022/03/16 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2022.0821 ISSN : 2632-590X Résumé : In this paper we explore the concept of "ludopédagogie", through a sociological approach and content analysis in order to understand its current use and meaning. To this purpose, after clarifying our position in terms of research upon game, we are using the outcomes of a search on the French speaking web in order to identify the actors who use it. These mainly come from the world of vocational training for companies. There is a current extension of the use of the concept by new actors, especially academics, who are considering its use in education. Finally, we analyze the ideology that emerges from the analysis of the contents. This highlights the belief in the motivating power of play, a confusion between playful pedagogy and active pedagogy, the promotion of action against theoretical knowledge. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
