Qu'est-ce qu'agir avec compétence? En professionnel compétent?Dans cet ouvrage, la compétence énactive est conceptualisée comme un pouvoir d'agir connaisseur ou compétent par expérience. Un principe guide la théorisation d'une approche énactive des formations : ce qui est appris théoriquement permet une compréhension conceptuelle de la pratique et la pratique se révèle une compréhension-en-action de la théorie. Ce principe sollicite de continuels allers-retours entre la pratique et sa théorisation. Le but est de développer un pouvoir d'agir en perpétuel devenir, de plus en plus compétent et connaisseur. Le pouvoir d'agir est conceptualisé sur la base d'une quête de congruence entre la formation pratique et la formation théorique. On n'apprend pas à nager en dehors de l'eau, sans même avoir à se mouiller! Ni à enseigner ou exercer tout métier sans s'y mouiller pratiquement. Les connaissances et compétences apprises sans en faire l'expérience pratique sont ensuite difficilement mobilisables sur le terrain. Une critique est donc adressée à l'approche par compétences (APC) qui permet de transmettre tout un bagage de compétences, bien que ces compétences se révèlent peu fonctionnelles, car elles sont conçues comme des savoirs mobilisés d'une situation à l'autre des connaissances et des compétences apprises, le plus souvent, sans avoir à se mouiller dans une pratique. Une méthode est proposée pour favoriser le passage de l'APC à l'approche énactive. Cette méthode est un outil pour théoriser les pratiques, élaborer des programmes de formations, identifier les compétences énactives de ces programmes, construire des scénarios d'apprentissage, etc.

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.

This book presents the proceedings of the Gmunden Retreat on NeuroIS 2016, reporting on topics at the intersection of Information Systems (IS) research, neurophysiology and the brain sciences. Readers will discover the latest findings from top scholars in the field of NeuroIS, which offer detailed insights on the neurobiology underlying IS behavior, essential methods and tools and their applications for IS, as well as the application of neuroscience and neurophysiological theories to advance IS theory.

A proposal that extends the enactive approach developed in cognitive science and philosophy of mind to issues in affective science. In The Feeling Body, Giovanna Colombetti takes ideas from the enactive approach developed over the last twenty years in cognitive science and philosophy of mind and applies them for the first time to affective science—the study of emotions, moods, and feelings. She argues that enactivism entails a view of cognition as not just embodied but also intrinsically affective, and she elaborates on the implications of this claim for the study of emotion in psychology and neuroscience. In the course of her discussion, Colombetti focuses on long-debated issues in affective science, including the notion of basic emotions, the nature of appraisal and its relationship to bodily arousal, the place of bodily feelings in emotion experience, the neurophysiological study of emotion experience, and the bodily nature of our encounters with others. Drawing on enactivist tools such as dynamical systems theory, the notion of the lived body, neurophenomenology, and phenomenological accounts of empathy, Colombetti advances a novel approach to these traditional issues that does justice to their complexity. Doing so, she also expands the enactive approach into a further domain of inquiry, one that has more generally been neglected by the embodied-embedded approach in the philosophy of cognitive science.

This Handbook serves as a single source for theories, models, and methods related to cognitive task design. It provides the scientific and theoretical basis required by industrial and academic researchers, as well as the practical and methodological guidance needed by practitioners who face problems of building safe and effective human-technology s

This book, first published in 1991, is a full study of early Hellenistic coinage. It provides a history of the coinage of Alexander the Great and his successors in the Near and Middle East, and of the cities of Greece and Asia Minor. It is fully illustrated and provides a detailed and authoritative guide to the coinage of the period.
