Functions
The CRIE has as functions :
- to develop new knowledges
and new approaches relative to instructional intervention in the area of
teacher education by resorting to an interdisciplinary perspective;
- to regroup researchers working on the
problematic of instructional intervention in professional education according
to an interdisciplinary approach or perspective;

to researchers within the Research Centre;
- to establish relations of scientific and
pedagogical cooperation with other groups and research centres, on the national and international plan, as well as
with environments of professional practice;
- to participate in the training of second and third cycle students by
assuring them a supervision of quality, by offering them the possibility of
participating in training activities of a high level and by involving them in
research works;
- to promote the interdisciplinary perspective
in teacher education in the various actors intervening in teacher education, as
well as in practising teachers;
- to offer the researchers of the Research Centre effective services in
order to increase the production of their scientific productions and their
productivity, as well as the development of their knowledges
in the field;
- to facilitate the diffusion of results of
research works of members addressed to the scientific milieu as well as to

History
The CRIE originated from a
small regrouping of professors, the Group for Interdisciplinary Research in the
Didactics of Disciplines (GRIDD),
created in 1991 around Professor
The last change in denomination adopted by members of the CRIE is without a doubt linked to
institutional recognition, but also to the willingness to better bring to the
forefront the research problematic that characterizes it :
the interactions of didactical, psycho-pedagogical and organizational
dimensions that are interwoven within teaching practices and teacher education.
This change also allows it to better harmonize its research objectives with
those of the Centre for Interuniversity Research in Education and the Teaching
Profession (CRIFPE).
The general objective at the basis of the programme of the CRIE is the development of scientific
knowledge aimed at producing a new and systematic knowledge of teaching and to
foster the effectiveness of teaching practices in the school milieu thanks to a
high-level professional education in which results of scientific research are
integrated. Three research axes characterize it :
teaching practices; practices aiming towards professionalization; collaborative
practices.
