Research praxeologies in
the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic
Presentation
The Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) currently plays a prominent role in international research in didactics. Since 2005, seven international conferences have been organised in different locations of Spain and France.
Like the preceding ones, this conference brings together researchers interested in the ATD and aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Establishing an updated overview of the results and progress in the ATD with regard to both basic research and the development of education systems, including teacher education
- Developing a research programme around the most relevant open problems, either related to difficulties affecting education systems, or the development of didactics as a scientific discipline
- Identifying and studying the specific problems raised by the extension of the ATD’s conceptual and methodological tools to other fields
This 8th conference will also be an opportunity to further engage in the theoretical and methodological debate by discussing the research praxeologies developed within the framework of the ATD. Contributions are thus expected to highlight the research praxeologies mobilised, explaining the uses of ATD concepts and tools. In so doing, CITAD8 will provide an opportunity to collectively examine questions such as: What does doing research within the ATD involve? What are the praxeological characteristics of the research conducted within the ATD?
CITAD8 is organised around 3 main axes:
Coordinators: Annie Bessot, Julia Pilet, Pedro Nicolas, Carl Winsløw.
Coordinators: Michèle Artaud, Pierre Job, Nathan Lombard, Yves Matheron.
Coordinators: Thomas Hausberger, Caroline Ladage, Avenilde Romo Vazquez, Noemí Ruiz-Munzon.
Doctoral students’ seminar
A seminar devoted to the presentation and discussion of doctoral projects with PhD students and experienced researchers will be organised on the first day of the conference.
All participants will have the opportunity to attend the PhD seminar.
Official language of the conference
To promote the internationalisation of CITAD, the plenary sessions will be held in English. The organisers call on all participants to write and deliver their communications in this language. Nevertheless, as in previous conferences, oral or poster communications in French or Spanish will be welcome. Organisers will do their best to make this trilingual organisation an enriching and profitable experience for all participants.
