No. 39-40 (2021): Teaching fieldwork. Transmit, experiment, experience

This double issue of Emulations. Revue de sciences sociales invites us to construct our pedagogical practices of training in fieldwork as an object of research. The originality of the contributions gathered here is to propose accounts of singular experiences of this teaching in a plurality of situations: field courses based on collective surveys, classroom teaching in social science courses or even training in survey in professional schools. Despite this diversity, the twelve articles all describe collective and reflective teaching and learning practices. They look back at the construction of spaces for students to speak out, from which inductive teaching is invented. This issue also examines the effects of reforms on the ways in which social science research is taught, whether through the prism of a change in the curriculum of an academic course or that of the universitarisation of professional training. By sometimes taking the risk of revealing the difficulties and limits of their teaching, the authors show the pedagogical and heuristic interest of this type of training and participate in the re-articulation of research and teaching.
