The acquisition of teaching skills by new teachers in professional and technical training: understanding the moment of educational intervention
Teachers in professional and technical training usually live a hard period of professional transition during their beginning of teaching. We have tried to show how the educational intervention from beginning teachers of the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick results from a work of dialectization of a set of contexts: educational, professionals and personals. We adopted a mixed methodology using quantitative inquiry and qualitative interviews across the five campuses of the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick. Our results show the teacher as a subject in transition, trying to reach a state of balance between the subject in formation and the many contexts through which he evolves. His professional transition is articulated through back and forth movements between skill development and identity construction, surrounding the moment of educative intervention. We thus propose a model of this articulation that could be used to analyze educational intervention in its situational perspective.
