Exercer son esprit critique à l'ère informationnelle (3 ECTS)

Aujourd’hui, notamment du fait de l’essor des technologies, nous sommes en permanence assaillis par une multitude d'informations. Pourtant, beaucoup d’entre elles semblent peu fiables voire volontairement mensongères, comme les fake news. Comment exercer son esprit critique dans ce contexte et pour quels enjeux ? Pourquoi les fake news et les théories complotistes peuvent-elles nous apparaître séduisantes ?

Tout au long de ce cours constitué de vidéos, d’interventions d’expert-es et d’activités variées, vous allez appréhender le phénomène de désinformation, en comprendre les ressorts et les manières de le contrer. En termes de compétences vous apprendrez des stratégies pour reconnaître les fausses informations et trouver des sources fiables. Vous analyserez le mécanisme cognitif de flexibilité cognitive, et enfin, vous apprendrez des stratégies concrètes afin de développer votre vigilance informationnelle.

Prerequisites: None

Study level: Bachelor's

Cognition sociale (3 ECTS)

Le cours traite de la cognition sociale, c'est-à-dire de l'ensemble des processus cognitifs (perception, mémorisation, raisonnement...) et cérébraux impliqués dans les interactions sociales chez l'être humain. Les principaux chapitres de la cognition sociale (origine du cerveau social, perception sociale, théorie de l'esprit, empathie, etc.) seront abordés, mais le cours traite également de la manière dont le contexte social (culture) peut moduler le système cognitif. La notion de mise en contexte social sous-tend donc l'ensemble des thématiques abordées dans le cours. Le cours sera données sous format vidéo et il sera demandé aux étudiant.e.s de créer un épisode de podcast en lien avec les thèmes abordés en cours.

Ce cours vise à familiariser les étudiant.e.s avec les bases des principes de la cognitions sociale. Ce cours leur permettra d'être introduit aux théories psychologiques de la cognition sociale en abordant les sous composantes de la cognition sociale, ses fonctions et ses bases cérébrales.
