Une « supervision douce » : un dispositif pour les formateurs occasionnels des personnels de l'enseignement supérieur
Abstract
While hybridization is a political injunction in the transformation of tutoring practices and the implementation of the support of the actors involved in higher education is difficult to implement, we wish to use Villemonteix’s notion of supervision to analyze an Amue (Agency for the Mutualization of Universities and Institutions) device. Through this case study, we present an approach to professionalizing casual tutors in higher education. This approach is based on a "soft" supervision of the actors involved (co-opted and not-often-available tutors, a pre-configured technological environment, a training system supported by a strategy and personalized pedagogical support) through six types of relationships. Our investigations offer a response through the “letting go” of actors wishing to set up rapid transformations of training practices while the temporality of the changes is longer.
