Hommage à François Villemonteix

Abstract

The article presents a synthesis of François Villemonteix's work on three major elements of his training: the postgraduate research degree programme (DEA), the Ph.D thesis and the Habilitation to conduct researches (HDR). We ask how the researcher has enrolled in research in the sciences of education from what research, what research questions, what methodologies. We identify an evolution of his professional postures. As a schoolteacher, he is interested in objects to program with young students. As an educational consultant in charge of Computerized Technologies (IT), he questions the training of teachers so that they engage the pupil in class in the manipulation of these IT. In doctoral studies, he studied the role and positioning of the TICE facilitator in this process of coaching and teacher training in primary school. Associate professor, he specifies his research subject in his HDR around "sustainable" instrumented practices and identifies their genesis and their evolution in the school system. In the second part, we discuss the heritage of François Villemonteix and illustrate a methodological example of a participatory action research of which we were actors together. François Villemonteix was attached to plural methods articulating statistical, quantitative and qualitative analyzes. Our analysis of the ANR DALIE's research work allows us to identify a model giving a first place to the field teachers who articulates the action and reflection of actors with different professions, missions, institutional bodies with a system based on a strategic network of spaces for training, speech and the implementation of pedagogy.
