This volume presents a scientific and practical trend in lifelong
education, which focuses on "human activity". This trend is
particularly apparent in French speaking countries where a seminal
tradition of ergonomics, born in the middle of the 20th century,
produced studies about work and workers' activity in various
contexts. Results demonstrate that working activity, firstly, is
always complex, creative and enigmatic despite the efforts done by
the designers to create prescribing working environments and by
managers to control production procedures, and secondly, cannot be
understood without specific field studies about real work. This
approach influenced adult educational researchers and trainers to
develop programs in order to help trainers to better know human
activity and its transformations in various social practices (and
not only in working context). It also helps them to design learning
environments accompanying human activity transformations at various
time scales. The chapters in this volume present a range of
original studies on human activity in various social practices,
such as tourism, theatre prop-makers in opera, manual job
environments, management in a small company, high level athletes
illegal practices, school teaching and finally during teachers
retirement ceremonies. These studies of the relationships between
social practices and human activity and its transformations, give
empirical and conceptual bases for designing programs aimed at
emphasizing and accompanying specific individual and collective
learning, and human development in a lifelong perspective. This
book was published as a special issue of International Journal of
Lifelong Education.
