Which sociocultural activity are teachers trained for?
We examine teacher education as the education to sociocultural activities. We detail how teacher education can be considered as the participation into three different activities: that academic activity, the teaching activity and the reflexive activity. Each of those three activities is mediating a sociocultural form and has typical traits in its transmission. The student thus internalizes three different training and three different ways of thinking and elaborating knowledge. We present the theoretical framework that enables us to outline a sociocultural form and its link with the sociocultural activity. We then describe the different modalities of transmission of these activities. We finally elaborate on some proposals regarding teacher education.
