معرفی
Nicolas Epinoux is a Lecturer at the Institute of Teacher Education (INSPE) of the University of Poitiers and an active research member of the Center for Research on Cognition and Learning (CeRCA). His work bridges physical education pedagogy, psychosocial resource development, and teacher professionalization within French educational contexts.
He completed his PhD in Education at the University of Bordeaux in 2014 with a thesis examining social skills development through cooperative learning in middle school physical education and physics classes. His research focuses on three interconnected strands: sensorimotor and communication interactions in educational settings, psychosocial resource cultivation in physical activities, and structured support systems for teacher development.
Epinoux investigates how cooperative learning frameworks manage student diversity while fostering democratic classroom experiences. His methodology emphasizes practical action research, particularly in physical education contexts where group dynamics directly impact skill acquisition and social development. Recent work explores stress management for educators, student note-taking optimization, and role-based autonomy frameworks.
Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on translating theoretical psychosocial concepts into classroom interventions. Key themes include the integration of cooperative structures to address student differences, reflective discourse for teacher growth, and video-based analysis for practice improvement. His research demonstrates strong alignment with contemporary challenges in inclusive physical education.

As co-manager of the Integrated Mental Preparation DU (Diplôme d'Université), Epinoux develops specialized training for mental preparation in sports education. He contributes to CeRCA's PLAViMoP (Point Light Action Visualization and Modification Platform) and Self Analysis Video (SAV) projects, which utilize motion-capture and video technology to refine teaching practices through objective behavioral analysis.
