Abstract
This paper presents the results of an inquiry into a creative, whole-school integrative learning project that started with posing a ‘big question’. Data were generated to deepen understanding regarding the effects of implementing creative project-based learning Hi on student lived experience and student attitudes toward learning. Research on project-based approaches is required to reflect the current contextual realities specific to high schools. The focus on integrative and arts-based approaches as they relate to high school classrooms indicate that secondary education lags in comparison to elementary and middle grades. The findings presented here provide the possibility of a more informed, attentive, action-sensitive professional practice in the development of educational experiences designed to influence the learning experiences of secondary students.
Keywords:
- secondary education,
- creativity,

Résumé
Cet article exprime les résultats d’une enquête sur un projet d’apprentissage, école-entière, intégratif et créatif qui a été déclenché par des enseignants qui se posaient les « grandes questions ». Des données ont été générées dans le but d’approfondir la compréhension des effets de la mise en oeuvre d’un apprentissage créatif basé sur des projets sur l’expérience vécue des étudiants et leurs attitudes envers l’apprentissage. La recherche sur les pratiques d’apprentissage basées sur des projets est essentielle afin de refléter les réalités contextuelles actuelles propres aux écoles secondaires. L’accent mis sur les approches intégratives et fondées sur les arts dans les classes du secondaire indique que l’enseignement secondaire est en retard lorsque comparé aux classes d’écoles primaires et intermédiaires. Les résultats présentés dans cet article offrent la possibilité d’une pratique professionnelle plus informée, attentive et sensible à l’action dans le développement d’expériences éducatives conçues pour influencer les expériences d’apprentissage des élèves du secondaire.
