Third International Congress of Joint Action Theory in Didactics : Cooperation and Designs based on Cooperation November 7th, 8th and 9th, 2023 BREST (France) – Université de Bretagne Occidentale
Fourth Call for Papers
The Third International Joint Action Theory in Didactics Congress (JATD) will be held in Brest (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, CREAD) from Tuesday the 7th of November to Thursday the 9th of November 2023. As with the two previous congresses (Rennes, 2019 and Nancy, 2021), this event will be presented and organised by a research group which has worked in the field of didactics for almost twenty years. The group brings together researchers from a number of laboratories (CREAD, UBO-RENNES 2, LISEC, Nancy, LINE, Nice, CREN, Nantes, ELLIADD + CRIT, Besançon ; CEREP, University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne). The general theme will be that of cooperation and designs based on cooperation. This will be broken down into the following lines of research.
1) General biological and anthropological forms of cooperation This is in-keeping with the approach exemplified in a collection of articles in Nature Human Behavior entitled « The Cooperative Human » introduced thus: « Human beings are a social species that rely on cooperation to survive and thrive. Understanding how and why cooperation succeeds or fails is integral to solving the many global challenges we face. » (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0389-1) Expected propositions for this line of research will focus on the nature of cooperation in areas relative to natural science as well as human and social sciences. For example, biology, archaeology, agronomy, ecology, ethology, anthropology, economy, archaeology, language, law and so on. Particular attention will be paid to communications linking teaching and learning with cooperation from an anthropological perspective (see teaching, Kline, 2014). However, in general, any communication pertinent to the above description will be potentially welcomed.
2) Cooperation and its history in the social and political world Expected propositions for this line of research will focus on the history and philosophy of cooperation (for example, the political and social history of cooperation, the political philosophy of cooperation, see in particular Fischbach, 2015), in all its diverse forms (from labour movements to contemporary experiments setting up collectives of empowerment.
3) Cooperative designs which seek to transmit, transform and educate Expected propositions for this line of research will focus on cooperative practices and structures bringing together professionals and researchers, irrespective of their theoretical tools (see in particular Collectif Didactique pour Enseigner, 2019). In this context, specific attention will be paid to communications demonstrating how existing cooperative practices or structures seek to contribute to the reconstruction of the educational system and design. In the educational sphere, this will include papers treating as a didactic question issues of cooperation between pupils in class. It will be possible to focus specifically on methodological questions in this area. For this line of research, communications should be developed and presented by a researcher and professional as a pair, or by a number of professionals and researchers in a small group.
