The paper presents the results of an exploratory research on parental practices and attitudes in three peripheral archipelagos of French Polynesia: the Marquesas, the Australs, and the Tuamotus Islands. Its aim was to identify parenting typologies in isolated contexts using the Parenting Skills Evaluation Scale (Échelle des Compétences Éducatives Parentales, ECEP) with 120 parents living in remote islands. The data analysis indicates that families living in such isolated contexts are in a rather vulnerable situation in relation to schooling. Parental attitude is in most cases normative, attributing a significant importance to school success, but domestic practices appear mostly liberal, characterized by unsupervised autonomy combined with moments of strictness, as observed in other postcolonial and marginalized contexts. Finally, the article discusses the efficacy of the ECEP as a valid measurement tool in family studies, confirming its effectiveness.

“…The animals that WEIRD children encounter most frequently are human beings, in contrast to children who grow up in small-scale societies where folk biology constitutes a critical enculturation process (Henrich et al, 2010). In fact, for many non-WEIRD individuals, transmitting cultural knowledge about the natural environment is crucial if the inhabitants, and more particularly the children, are to survive (Alì, 2016). This is the case, for instance, for rural Native American communities in Wisconsin, and Yukatek Maya communities in Mexico where children are more familiar with living entities because of daily life activities such as hunting or gardening (Atran et al, 2001; Ross, Medin, Coley, & Atran, 2003; Waxman & Medin, 2007).…”

Burkinabe Children’s Acquisition and Construction of Astronomical Knowledge

Knowledge acquisition and construction in astronomy is a difficult process, as the scientific concepts are mainly counterintuitive. Few studies in this domain have sought to understand children’s conceptual development by focusing on the characteristics of their developmental context. Our aim was thus to enhance current understanding of knowledge development in astronomy by studying children in a cultural context where the scientific worldview is not the dominant one. To this end, we interviewed 120 middle-class children from Burkina Faso (approximately 50% girls) in Grades 1, 3, 5, and 8 about their understanding of the Earth’s shape and the day–night cycle. Our results showed that first and third graders’ responses mainly relied on everyday observations of the Earth (i.e., flat) and a geocentric vision of the day–night cycle, but some scientific elements did appear in the fifth and eighth graders’ answers, probably owing to the science lessons they received at school. The present study shows that (a) when they are congruent, everyday observations, initial knowledge and everyday testimony, constitute a strong basis for children’s knowledge construction in astronomy and (b) even in Grade 8, after they have been exposed to classroom teaching of astronomy that promotes a scientific worldview, Burkinabe children have a mainly hybrid knowledge, mixing the scientific worldview with their own initial one. We can therefore confirm Jegede’s assertion that, for some non-Western children, nothing short of a revolution is needed to acquire a full scientific understanding and put aside traditional beliefs.
