“…La culture collaborative dont on parle ici est une culture de médiation entre université et milieu scolaire, entre chercheurs et praticiens. La documentation parle aussi de culture collaborative dans un autre sens, qui est un peu un corrolaire du premier sens ici donné: certains travaux s'inté-ressent au climat de collaboration qui règne entre enseignants dans un milieu scolaire donné et aux façons d'encourager les projets qui vont dans le sens du travail en collaboration (voir plus spécifiquement les travaux de Fullan, 1987de Fullan, ,1990Hargreaves et Dawe, 1990;Little, 1982Little, ,1984Little, , 1990.…”

Cet article a pour but d'établir les bases conceptuelles de l'approche collaborative de la recherche en éducation, plus spécifiquement celle qui réunit chercheurs universitaires et praticiens enseignants autour d'un questionnement lié à l'exercice de la pratique. Trois énoncés viennent structurer cette conceptuali- sation: 1) l'approche collaborative suppose une démarche de coconstruction entre les partenaires concernés; 2) elle joue sur deux registres à la fois, soit celui de la production de connaissances et celui du développement professionnel des praticiens; 3) elle contribue au rapprochement, voire à la médiation entre communauté de recherche et communauté de pratique. À l'horizon de ces trois énoncés se profile une vision socioconstructiviste du « savoir » à développer, et cela, à partir d'une démarche collective d'interprétation où théorie et pratique sont constamment mises en relation.This article describes the underlying concepts of collaborative research in education, specifically that research which brings together university researchers and practicing teachers in exploring questions linked to various practices. Three main principles are presented: 1) the collaborative approach is based on a process of co-construction between the various partners involved; 2) the research proposes objectives on two levels, that of developing knowledge and that of developing practicing teachers' professionalism; 3) the research contributes to constructing a closer partnership between the research community and the practicing teacher community. These principles lead the author to propose the development of a socio- constructivist view of knowledge, specifically through a continual process of collaborative interpretation of the relation between theory and practice.Este articulo tiene por objetivo establecer las bases conceptuales del enfoque colabo- rativo en investigaciôn educativa, y mas especificamente aquélla que reune investigadores universitarios y maestros en ejercicio en torno de un cuestionamiento ligado a la practica. Très enunciados estructuran esta conceptualization: 1) el enfoque colaborativo supone un proceso de co-construcciôn entre los asociados; 2) este enfoque actûa sobre dos pianos simulta- neamente, el de la production de conocimientos y el del desarrollo profesional; 3) este enfoque contribuye al acercamiento, incluso a la mediation, entre la comunidad de investigadores y la de practicantes. De estos très enunciados se proyecta una vision socioconstructivista del saber, que deberà ser desarrollada a partir de un proceso colectivo de interpretacion donde teoria y practica estén constantemente en relacion.In diesem Artikel wird versucht, die Grundbegriffe der Kollaborations- methode in der Erziehungsforschung aufzustellen, bei welcher Universitâtsforscher und Lehrer zusammen an mit der Praxis verbundenenThemen arbeiten.

“…School settings with norms of collaboration greatly support teachers who collaborate (Lieberman, 1995;Little, 1982Little, , 1993aMcLaughlin, 1993). Such norms go beyond social interaction to indicate innovation and learning "in which teachers are enthusiastic about their work and the focus is on devising strategies that enable all students to prosper" (McLaughlin, 1993, p. 94).…”

The following narratives examine three teachers over a course of ten years as they first entered teaching and began to collaborate with other teachers on curriculum. Specifically, the study examines how the teachers 1) developed as collaborators and 2) perceived elements of support from both within and outside the classroom for their collaborative efforts. The article argues that the successful collaborative efforts helped deepen their sense of agency and initiative within their teaching and, to a lesser degree, stimulated reform and change within their schools. In turn and to varying degrees, the process of collaboration supported their personal renewal in their work. The article suggests that structural support for these teachers that connected to their emerging personal practical knowledge was crucial for their development as

“…This interaction establishes the framework for increased communication and the opportunity for collaborative problem-solving. Little (1982) and Rosenholtz (1989) explain that when teachers have the opportunity to interact professionally with others, that interaction contributes to positive outcomes for teachers and students.…”
