Situation a-didactique et dispositif d’apprentissage instrumenté : cas de construction de projets de service

Abstract

In this paper we analyze an instrumented didactic situation that takes place on a distance learning platform. In this situation students in a professional master’s degree curriculum are invited to create a fictitious service project. They have to achieve this task in groups of 3 to 4 students. The task aims at making students acquire competences in terms of project management in the field of educational engineering. The article analyzes the process of building these skills in project management from traces of interaction. It highlights the strategies of circumvention and adaptation that students develop to escape the constraints of a teaching situation based on an instrumented educational device. It helps understand the role that learners can play in the design of a teaching situation.
