Supporting a dynamics of change in collaborative practices : the associated educational design-experiment places at the French Institute for Education
This article seeks to examine collaborative practices and continuity between research and practice, two expectations of the French Education Department, in the context of the implementation of LéA (lieux d’éducation associés à l’institut français de l’éducation, translated into AeDeP at FIE, standing for Associated educational Design-experiment Places at the French Institute for Education). Several methodologies are used : analysis of logbooks, associations of ideas, semi-structured interviews. The results show that the AeDeP supports dynamic change in collaborative practices through a continuum research/practices, but the link with the AeDeP cannot be confirmed. Relations between actors in the field and researchers show a shared taking up of power between these actors. These results incite us to continue the implementation of AeDeP at FIE, but question the instruments to be developed to support it.
