This book generates a comprehensive account of ways in which practice-based learning has been conceptualized in the Francophone context. Learning for occupations, and the educational and practice-based experiences supporting it are the subject of increased interest and attention globally. Governments, professional bodies, workplaces and workers are now looking for experiences that support the initial and ongoing development of occupational capacities. Consequently, more attention is being given to workplaces as sites for this learning. This focus on learning through work has long been emphasised in the Francophone world, which has developed distinct traditions and conceptions of associations between work and learning. These include ergonomics and professional didactics. Yet, whilst being accepted and of long standing in the Francophone world, these conceptions and traditions, and the practices supporting them are little known about or understood in the Anglophone world, which is the dominant medium for scientific and educational discussion. This book addresses this problem through drawing on accounts from France, Switzerland and Canada that make accessible and elaborate these traditions, conceptions and practices through examples of their applications to occupationally related learning. These accounts offer variations and culturally-specific developments of these traditions, but collectively emphasize a preoccupation with how both work and learning need to be understood through situated considerations of persons enacting their work practice. In this way, they offer noteworthy and worthwhile contributions to contemporary global considerations of learning through work.

The collection discusses interactional competences across a variety of institutional settings, and reflects on the institutional order by scrutinizing how such competences are interactionally treated within everyday institutional practices.

The collection discusses interactional competences across a variety of institutional settings, and reflects on the institutional order by scrutinizing how such competences are interactionally treated within everyday institutional practices.

This book explores disciplinary connections, continuities and interfaces to understand how interactional competences may be observed and developed in work and training contexts. It presents a range of research contributions that develop an interest in the study of talk-in-interaction, and how it might contribute to the understanding of the learning and development of interactional competences as they are demanded in work and training contexts. The chapters explore diverse empirical contexts and illustrate approaches focusing on the investigation of social interaction as situated, collective and dynamic accomplishments in institutional contexts, in a variety of dimensions or aspects. They also enact specific theoretical categories and methodological procedures for understanding how interactional competences are mobilized and developed in the context of work or training. This book thus identifies the sorts of interactional competences mobilized by participants when addressing the practical problems they are faced with in the circumstances of work or training, and observes how such circumstances  may offer opportunities to the development of interactional competences. It reflects on the possibility for analytic concepts and procedures pertaining to the analysis of talk-in-interaction, and contributes to the professional development of workers.Chapter “The design and implementation of a course on interactional competence for teachers: Teacher-learning through video-based guided discovery tasks” is licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book seeks to advance understandings of and approaches to supporting and sustaining working age adults’ learning across lengthening working lives and inevitable transitions they encounter and are required to negotiate.
