The classroom can be transformed, as advocated M. Lipman, in a "community of philosophical inquiry" (CRP) as a framework for dialogical and interactional experiences. Collective reasoning may destabilize the individual rationality and thus promote the event of doubt. The purpose of this study is to examine the place of doubt as a mental state: Would it play a role in the improvement of the thought, which one of the visible forms would be the self-correction? We looked, in a first approach which is quantitative, if the model of “CRP” can favor self-correction, how the pupils estimate this attitude and what they are really doing when they correct themselves.
