1) Scientific insights into the situations with which teachers are confronted.
These situations call for an understanding of the worlds of students and teachers; they imply taking into account the cultural dimensions of the institution and its actors, and school policies; they may concern or involve innovative pedagogies that should be understood and nurtured.
2) Training in reflective analysis, allowing students to evoke, understand and analyze specific work situations, with a view to developing professional knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills (based on video-training, role-playing, etc.).
3) A research process based on interactionist approaches
(socio-anthropology, ergonomics and activity analysis), leading to the preparation of a thesis. This dissertation may take the usual written form or a mixed form associating written parts and films or sound documents (to serve this possibility, courses in radio and film writing are provided).
