Postures d’accompagnement et conceptions : une évidente interrelation ? Quatre cas sous la loupe en contexte d’insertion professionnelle Accompaniment postures and conceptions: an obvious interrelation? Four cases studied in the context of teacher induction

Résumé

La question des postures d’accompagnement des stagiaires préoccupe de manière assez récente les acteurs impliqués dans la formation initiale à l’enseignement. Il importe que le formateur identifie les postures qu’il adopte en accompagnant son stagiaire pour que ce dernier puisse apprendre à exercer son métier en toute autonomie et développer sa singularité professionnelle. De la même manière, l’accompagnateur en insertion professionnelle, en adoptant certaines postures, tient un rôle majeur à l’égard du développement professionnel du débutant. Ces aspects ont notamment fait l’objet d’une recherche doctorale, menée sous la forme d’une étude multicas qualitative en contexte d’insertion professionnelle. À partir des conversations entre accompagnateurs et enseignants débutants, plusieurs postures caractéristiques des pratiques effectives des accompagnateurs ont été identifiées. Des entretiens semi-dirigés avec les accompagnateurs permettent de connaitre leurs conceptions relatives à l’accompagnement. Nous voyons un lien étroit entre celles-ci et les principes éthiques sous-jacents à leur pratique, la vision de leur rôle et de leur positionnement vis-à-vis de l’accompagné.

Abstract

The question of postures is a relatively recent concern for the actors involved in teacher education. It is important for the teacher educator to identify the postures he adopts so that the student teacher can learn to practice his profession independently and develop his professional singularity. In the same way, the mentor during the induction period, by adopting certain postures, plays a major role in the professional development of the beginning teacher. These aspects have been the subject of a doctoral research conducted through a qualitative multiple-case study in a context of teacher induction. From the conversations between the mentors and the beginning teachers, several postures were identified. In addition, semi-structured interviews with the mentors revealed their conceptions relating to the accompaniment, which gave an orientation to the postures adopted. Once the theoretical framework of the accompaniment postures exposed, this paper states the link between these and the ethical principles underlying their practice, the vision of their role and their position towards the beginner.
