Résumé

The various means of practice analysis serve to support a form of group reflexivity. This paper focuses on the conditions necessary to favour such approaches. Using focus groups, we show that the learning paradigm of many one-on-one support schemes is perhaps not the most effective when supporting a group. If learners go through a renormalization process and their conceptions of the evaluation and support are questioned, the trainer can play his or her role in the control evaluation, since, in this case, the reflexive and critical support is delegated to the group, and even to the learner.

Abstract

The various means of practice analysis serve to support a form of group reflexivity. This paper focuses on the conditions necessary to favour such approaches. Using focus groups, we show that the learning paradigm of many one-on-one support schemes is perhaps not the most effective when supporting a group. If learners go through a renormalization process and their conceptions of the evaluation and support are questioned, the trainer can play his or her role in the control evaluation, since, in this case, the reflexive and critical support is delegated to the group, and even to the learner.
