Environmental Social Pedagogy: A Semantic Illustration From Paris Transport (ratp) Spaces’ Posters

Authors : Kissi Khalida .

Abstract

Pedagogy is frequently an in-classroom practice that infers a methodical teaching to permit homogenous learning. This concept can be visualized in out-classroom environments targeting society. The present work, being qualitative in nature, aims at understanding the applicable version of the theory of social pedagogy in RATP spaces in Paris, France. It hypothesizes that man-made environment represents this pedagogy. Ten slogans posted in RATP spaces were examined and semantically analyzed according to Leech’s heptane semantic classification. The findings of the study extract different forms of social pedagogy and confirm the stated hypothesis; they importantly highlight ‘semanticity’ in the pedagogical discourse of environment.
