Towards an institutional epistemology
Résumé
In higher education, the difficulties of implementing teaching sequences in which several academic and engineering disciplines, or even professional worlds, coexist have been widely documented. We hypothesize that these difficulties stem, especially, from a series of conditions and constraints that determine the knowledge life in these different universes. In this chapter, we propose using tools from the Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) to analyze these epistemologies and illustrate their application with examples from land surveying, industrial, and computer science contexts.
