From child observation to interactional analysis: an adult education workshop for Early childhood educators
This contribution presents an adult education workshop implemented in the field of early childhood education. One of the specificities of education and care practices lies in the competences of the professionals to give a central role to the detailed observation of situations, in order to adjust their modalities of action. How can such observational work be developed and transformed ? A participatory research-training approach aims to support the co-construction of an analytical view on observable phenomena in the course of interactions. In a perspective of interactional analysis, it focuses on the modalities that favor the construction of such an analytical posture.
