The construction of an interprofessional community within a French Swiss school
This case study tries to understand the way teachers can learn to construct an interprofessional community within a school. Four dimensions have been considered: the scenario, the interactions, the climate of learning and the interdependence between the professionals. This research has highlighted that the building of a community isn’t based on the headmaster’s injunction to collaborate but on the presence of learning objects with a collective significance and involving an interdependence between the members of the community. The geographic aspect and the possibility to see each other and share workspace are also significant to develop an interdependence between professionals. This research questions the core of the profession and the role of those professionals.
