In the constantly growing and changing realm of teaching, learning, and technology, teachers are expected to embrace strange new technological mediums with enthusiasm and confidence. It is asking a lot! In our combined 10 years of working with teachers in the Virtual High School at the Marlboro College Technology Graduate Center, and in teaching the “Pedagogy of Online Learning” at Cambridge College, we have arrived at a few basic conclusions about what teachers must know and be able to do in order to have the best chance of success in the new millennium.

Cet article traite de l’adaptation des démarches d’enseignement en cours d’action, adoptées par les enseignants des sciences et technologies de l’école secondaire. Il vise à comprendre les processus dynamiques de l’adaptation de l’enseignement. Il s’appuie sur des données qui ont été obtenues grâce à un protocole de recherche qualitative axé sur des techniques de groupes de réflexion. Les résultats de la recherche mettent en évidence l’hétérogénéité des parcours d’adaptation des enseignants. Ils soulignent la nécessité du professionnalisme de l’enseignant des sciences et technologies. Ils suggèrent de prendre en considération la complexité des besoins d’adaptation. Ceux-ci commandent en définitive la compatibilité entre les démarches de l’enseignant et les besoins de ses élèves. Le processus d’adaptation est aussi guidé par le plaisir de la reconnaissance, les rapports de l’enseignant aux savoirs, de même que par la défense des valeurs collectives.Mots clé: adaptation de l’enseignement, perception des besoins, enseignement des sciences et technologies This article deals with the adjustment of teaching approaches made by high school science and technology teachers while teaching.
