Abstract
The present study constitutes a preliminary effort to frame co-creativity, project-based learning and real-world problem-solving under a cultural historical activity theory framework. The paper establishes co-creativity as collective concept formation in the wild and collective mediation as primary elements for the study of real-world problem solving in higher education. This study aims at bridging gaps between co-creative real-world problem solving in higher education and knowledge, competency, action between higher education and the real world.
Keywords:

Résumé
La présente étude constitue un effort préliminaire pour cadrer la co-créativité, l’apprentissage par projet et la résolution de problèmes issus du monde réel sous la perspective de la théorie historico-culturelle de l’activité. Cet article propose d’établir la co-créativité comme une activité de formation de concepts en milieu naturel et une activité de médiation collective adaptée à la résolution de problèmes issus du monde réel en contexte d’enseignement supérieur. A ce titre, cette étude vise à faire le pont entre la co-créativité et le monde réel, par les connaissances, compétences et actions acquises en contexte de résolution co-créative de problèmes en enseignement supérieur.
