Content

What is accompaniment? Where does it have its roots? What are its foundations? What are the main forms of support and what are their characteristics? Coaching: history, etymology, principles (Joachim De Stercke)
Forms of support: tutoring, mentoring, coaching, etc. (Joachim De Stercke) Support: a process and a posture (Sephora Boucenna) Support and the relationship with otherness (Sephora Boucenna)
Specificities according to the objects of the support (Sephora Boucenna)
Competence management, work assessment and recognition - understanding HR logics (Nathalie Jeannerod- Dumouchel)
Based on several research experiments conducted over the last decade by Vivien Braccini in the context of the popular education association network, the network of socio-cultural centres, the network of osteopathy training schools, Ephad, etc., which combine the aims of understanding, training and change, we will examine the way in which research can be used as a support tool when it is concerned with learning situations, in particular by using an entry point based on activity. This perspective will lead to an ecosystemic vision of the development of individuals, groups and their organisations


Teaching methods

Theory: lecture, formative dialogue, group discussion, article analysis, role-playing Practical work: film analysis, self-study

Evaluations

The students are asked to produce a written dossier in accordance with the instructions of the practical work carried out within the framework of the learning activity, i.e. the analysis of an illustrated accompaniment through a cinematographic work by mobilising the resources seen within the framework of the course.
