Usages des TIC et socialisation professionnelle des enseignants-chercheurs

Abstract

By taking support on a new data analysis collected in the Tec-Meus survey (2008-2011, MSH Lorraine) about the role given to information and communication technologies (ICT) by academics in human and social sciences in their teaching activity, we intend to focus ourselves in this paper on the comprehension of professional socialization’s processes concerned in their declared use of ICT. By professional socialization, we mean the construction of a professional identity of academics based on the incorporation of specialized knowledge (Dubar, 1998), in particular those relating to the use of ICT. In the specific case of academics that interests us here, our results show that they are less the exchanges with peers or negotiations of professional practices facing socio-institutional paradigms than the relations with learners and sociotechnical systems which play a significant role in socialization’s processes of academics in human and social sciences.
