Les démarches d’accompagnement en formation ouverte et à distance

Abstract

Adult education is an ongoing and vital process, which cannot be resumed in just a few hours of course. As a result, the adults’ experiences need to be accompanied, because the experience is not taught, but accompanied. This study is based on the context of open and distance training, which aims to consider the experiences of individuals so that they give meaning to their personal, professional, training and even existential paths. Based on a mixed analysis (qualitative and quantitative) of the transcripts of seven interviews with distance adult trainers, she seeks to understand the specificities of distance coaching that can be proposed in this context. The results highlight four main approaches to distance support: (1) didactic support, (2) support of learners’ experiences outside the training, (3) support of the rhythm-training for the appropriation of the individual and collective rhythms and (4) for the use of technology.
