Abstract

Educational reforms which are undertaken by many countries mark a major rupture with previous models of teaching and indicate the need for transformation of practices. The present text discusses the contributions and limits of scientific research in the field of Educational Science. It takes a particular interest in some research that are relate to teaching practice with regards to the construction of a Professional Training Referential that can be used for teacher training as well as the transformation of teaching practices. After highlighting the necessary transformations of the teaching practices, that the current educational reforms require, this article brings to light certain obstacles and challenges that confront research in education. It also proposes a number of potentially favorable theoretical and methodological avenues linking research and practice. The article does not provide definitive answers to the questions raised, but it does identify some theoretical and methodological lines of inquiry that fuel the reflections of researchers and trainers everywhere for whom the analysis of practices is a major issue in achieving reforms.
