Guillaume Serres

Guillaume Serres is an Associate Professor at Clermont Auvergne University, affiliated with the Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l'Éducation (INSPÉ) and the ACTé laboratory (Analysis, Critique and Transformations of Teaching Practices). Since 2021, he serves as Deputy Director representing the INSPE component. His work focuses on educational sciences, teacher training, and professional development across various educational contexts.

Dr. Serres earned his Doctorate in Educational Sciences in 2006 from Blaise Pascal University with a thesis titled "Analysis of the construction of professional experience in the various initial training situations of secondary school teachers," supervised by Luc Ria. He previously completed a Master 2 in Educational Sciences at CNAM de Paris specializing in "Adult Training: Field of Research" and a Master 1 in Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities (STAPS).

His research examines how teachers construct professional experience through various training situations, investigating transitions in professional roles, the impact of pedagogical innovations, and the development of teaching expertise. His work spans history education, physical education, and nursing training contexts, employing activity analysis frameworks to understand teaching and learning processes. Recent publications increasingly address hybrid teaching methods and digital tools in educational contexts.

Analysis of Serres' recent publications reveals consistent focus on professional development across educational contexts, with growing attention to hybrid teaching methods and digital tools in teacher education. His work demonstrates interdisciplinary connections between educational sciences, cognitive psychology, and professional training, with emphasis on how teachers navigate prescribed curricula while developing professional identities. The research shows evolution from early work on novice teachers to current investigations of trainer development and hybrid educational models.

As an academic advisor, Serres currently supervises two doctoral students (Aline Ravoux and Rémi Maurel since 2024) and has previously guided Jérome Riou to completion in 2017. He serves on the editorial committee of the journal "Recherche et Formation" and acts as an expert for HCERES. His leadership roles include representing the ACTé laboratory at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme since 2020 and serving as Deputy Director since 2021.

Within the ACTé laboratory, Serres contributes to multiple research operations including anthropological studies of teaching activities, professional transitions of referees, advanced practice nursing, and the evaluation of pedagogical devices at university level. His collaborative work spans across educational contexts from primary and secondary schools to university settings, focusing on how professional experience develops through various training situations.
