This working paper reconstructs the development of Jean-Pol Martin’s theory from Learning by Teaching (LdL) to participation competence, network sensitivity, conceptualization and New Human Rights. Based on five foundational texts from 1986 to 2018, the report shows that LdL is not merely a classroom method but the practical entry point into a broader anthropological and systemic model. The paper connects active information processing, complexity competence, exploratory behavior, cognitive maps, flow, network sensitivity and conceptualization with Martin’s later framework of New Human Rights. In this model, thinking, health, security, social integration, self-realization/participation and meaning form the basic needs that guide education, social organization and human-AI collaboration.
Jean-Pol Martin (Mon,) studied this question.
