The authors discuss the continuing education model in use by the faculty of education at the Université de Sherbrooke. This model has been developed over the past thirty years in response to the needs of diverse clienteles. Its features are preceded by various governing postulates, and conditions required for implementation. Lastly, recent specific results from various programs are discussed briefly.

By studying the case of Sports Sciences (STAPS in French) in close proximity to the knowledge constructed and dispensed in this discipline, this article analyzes the identity tensions that the objective of professionalization of training is likely to produce in and between trainers. Our analysis is based on two series of interviews (with 54 actors teaching in Sport Sciences in total) from a longitudinal survey conducted in two phases (1997-2002; 2015-2019) and ethnographic participant observations over the whole period (1997-2019) in different university spaces of this discipline (meetings, more informal discussions, etc.). We first show that the challenge of professionalization increases intra- and inter-individual tensions considering the dynamics of specialization and increasing segmentation of trainers' activities. We then emphasize how much this objective accentuates the debates and oppositions between “academic” and “professionalizing” visions of university training. After having highlighted the organizational, axiological and more strictly epistemic foundations of these two major conceptions, we focus on the way in which the question of the professionalization of training brings out the double constraint of validity and usefulness of knowledge and participates in a utilitarian critique of university knowledge and its modes of validation.

Building up documentary collections in a university library requires attention to the new development opportunities that arise. This article takes a reflective look at the process of thematic reframing, foresight and experimentation that led to the exploration of the potential of the Manikéamania game. These three capabilities, linked here to the idea of strategic agility, will enable us to examine the way in which the interest shown in a medium that is uncommon in university libraries, the role-playing game, and in artefacts that document cultural practices that have historically been discredited, particularly in relation to popular medievalism, leads us to reflect on new potentialities in the development of collections.

How can we ensure that our work as researchers is useful? Despite the growing institutionalization of the ways in which scientific knowledge is articulated in research, an “institutional epistemology” is structuring academic research according to which researchers may not act based on the constructive (or transformative) properties they produce. This scientific autonomy represents at once an important condition for a type of research that is not reduced to its instrumental virtues and a challenge for partnership research projects. Starting from an account given by a researcher whose intellectual and professional trajectory sheds light on the fundamental challenges of joint research, our article looks in particular at ways of overcoming tensions (epistemological, political, etc.) that put joint research to the test while at the same time as constituting that test.
