Jean Beauté’s *Les courants de la pédagogie contemporaine* surveys the major trends shaping modern teaching practice. Drawing on research in cognitive psychology, the author examines how learning theories have been translated into classroom strategies, from constructivist approaches to technology‑enhanced instruction. Each chapter outlines a distinct current—such as differentiated instruction, formative assessment, or collaborative learning—explaining its theoretical roots, practical implications, and the evidence supporting its effectiveness. The book balances scholarly insight with concrete examples, making it a useful reference for educators, curriculum designers, and students of educational science who seek to understand how contemporary pedagogical currents influence the learning environment.
