La circulation des savoirs entre recherche et formation : l’exemple des concepts didactiques lors d’une action de formation de conseillers pédagogiques
Jean-Paul Dugal, Yvon Léziart. The circulation of knowledge between research and training: the example of didactic concepts during an Educational Adviser Training Session. The use of scientific knowledge by practitioners lies at the very heart of current thinking over training. Opinion is often clearly divided. Some people consider that practical knowledge can easily do without scientific knowledge, some others on the contrary consider that without scientific knowledge, knowledge about practice undergoes little formalization, therefore it cannot be transferred. We consider that these antagonistic views stigmatize the oppositions between scientific knowledge and knowledge resulting from practice. We think that these two sets of knowledge are of a different nature, that they obey specific types of construction modes. When a project has been accurately defined, though, the two sets of knowledge get unveiled, they circulate, they confront each other, they alter in the process. We illustrate our views by analysing the modes of transformation operated by trainee students to didactic concepts that have been presented by a researcher, during a training course.
