But teachers can disrupt these patterns by opening their doors to colleagues and engaging with them in critical reflection, dialogue, and shared innovation. In this…

The aim of this process-oriented video-observation study is to explore how groups that perform differently differ in terms of the number, quality, and temporal variation of their content-level (knowledge co-construction) and meta-level (monitoring) activities. Five groups of teacher education students (n = 22) were observed throughout a 3-month…

We report on an experiment carried out among master's students in specialised translation involved in an authentic translation project at the University of Grenoble Alpes. With a view to designing an authentic translation environment for future translators, a collaborative and ergonomic dimension was integrated into translator training. Ergonomics…
