What kind of professional learning can be developed by a teacher-in-training in the course of an innovative practicum project ?
Through the analysis of the practices of a primary school teacher trainee during her practicum, the authors aim to identify and measure the professional and personal evolution that has been shown. The methodology is that of a clinical analysis of one case, followed by the analysis of the verbal and behavioural elements included in the interviews in order to set forth categories. The skills undertaken by the teacher trainee examining her practice seem typical of intermediate professional skills and knowledge specific to the process of professional development. The results show that important evolution occurs concerning the representations of the knowledge to be taught, of the teachers’s attitudes, of the students’ vision and of professional identity.
