Research group EA 4671 ADEF - Scientific project

The EA ADEF's scientific project aims to increase understanding of teaching and/or training systems, particularly the effects of policy decisions. Their effectiveness is assessed in organisations for the professional training of teachers and/or trainers, through interactions between pupils (trainees), teachers (trainers) and knowledge.
Historically, many studies conducted locally have concentrated on assessment, on the one hand and on the study of education, on the other. This has included the teaching of school subjects (such as maths, science, technology, economic and management sciences, humanities and languages, arts etc.), professional education (vocational training in schools, the health care environment or areas of corporate training) and comparative approaches to teaching. The research to be conducted during the next quadrennium will continue in this vein. More generally, it will question the process of knowledge transmission and acquisition in educational or training institutions, based on the institutionalisation of professionals responsible for its organisation and implementation. The research is structured around three thematic axes:

• the teaching-learning process
• professionalism and professionalisation of teaching, education and training professions and
• educational and training institutions. More...
