Les effets de la réforme sur le sentiment de professionnalisation des futurs enseignants
2013
S’inscrivant dans un cadre européen, la formation des enseignants en France fait l’objet, depuis 2005, de réformes profondes dont l’enjeu porte sur un renforcement des compétences professionnelles et un adossement des savoirs enseignés à la recherche. Partant de données longitudinales recueillies auprès de 3 générations d’étudiants inscrits dans le nouveau master « enseigner, éduquer, apprendre » ouvert à l’université de Bourgogne en 2010, cette recherche met en lumière la façon dont les étudiants se destinant au professorat des écoles perçoivent la qualité de leur professionnalisation. Malgré le sentiment de ne pas être suffisamment préparés pour l’exercice de leur métier, le discours des …
Evolución y futuro de la Psicología de la Salud
2014
Se realiza una visión crítica de la Psicología de la Salud para plantear el desarrollo de nuevos planes de integración. La Psicología de la Salud superó la fase de crecimiento en la que pudo estancarse, perdiendo sentido y proyección social. En la fase de profesionalización se produjo la dispersión y proliferación de enfoques que se cerró más por razones externas que por la reflexión interna del campo.

Estas actuaciones intentan poner orden y homogeneizar los servicios sanitarios. Los nuevos profesionales de la psicología de la salud tendrán que alejarse d…
Evolution and future of health psychology
2014
This paper addresses the development of new plans of integration, with the aim of undertaking a critical review of the present status of health psychology. We emphasize that health psychology has overcome its growing stage when the risk of stagnation and a consequent loss of relevance and social projection existed. During its period of professionalization there was a spreading and proliferation of approaches due more to external reasons than to reflection within the field. Today the central issue, in many countries relates to the integration of health policies through collective and global actions. Health psychology professionals should move away from the traditional academic and scientific…
Professionals and consumer in the liquid society: From status to states, or from Diocletian to Bauman
2020
The essay critically analyses the consolidated orientation of the Court of Cassation according to which the consumer legislation is not applicable to professionals who make a contract for the purchase of goods and services that they will use to work. For example, lawyers do not only stipulate mandates or make consultancy contracts with their clients, but also make all the contracts that are necessary or useful for the fulfillment of their professional practice; these acts may include the purchase of legal texts and professional indemnity insurance, or the supply of cleaning, electricity, gas and telephone services for their legal firms.

Recent research emphasizes the context‐specific nature of professional knowledge and expertise, implying that developing novel practices in authentic environments is a prerequisite for teachers' professional development.

Two secondary school teachers of history participated in this study. The data were gathered using a multi‐methodological approach (video recordings, interviews and questionnaires). The results are described in terms of the teachers' shared experiences and their incre…
Accreditation of Learning and Vocational Qualifications
2019
This chapter deals with professional qualification accreditation processes. We focus on the recognition of work experience and non-formal training paths recently developed in Spain. The chapter aims to provide a comprehensive view of the accreditation procedures and to what extent their promotion has changed the panorama and the set of rules that regulate the VET system. The author looks at the ways formal elements of the procedure are structured, their explicit functions, the rules and relations upheld by legislation, as well as the recognition of learning through the analysis of governance management. The findings are framed within European, Spanish and local legislation with regard to th…
