This knowledge overview consists of research surrounding digitalisation in pedagogics, visual culture learning communities and the correlation between these two subjects. Intercultural pedagogics often refers to including pupils’ ethnical cultural diversity as grounds for creating a discourse surrounding equality and inclusion in the classroom. However, we hypothesise implementing an intercultural view on pedagogics, where the culture is one based on teenagers’ digital presence. This could let teachers provide a learning environment that strengthens pupils’ engagement and assures inclusivity, without running the risk of labeling them ethnically. Throughout this assessment we have found research linked to the use of pop-culture and improved teaching environments, teenagers' visual identities and their sub-cultures, and an underrepresentation in the use of digital media as a proper teaching tool. Results show that a vast number of teachers misunderstand how digitalisation can be properly implemented in the classroom, and educational environments that manage to implement children’s and teenagers’ personal interests and digital identities greatly increase learning possibilities and student engagement.

This thesis explores the Predicament of the Learner in an age during which an emergent Participatory Culture supported by networked computers is converging or colliding with a top-down Culture Industry model of education associated with centralised control and traditional learning media. Two case studies explore attempts to use advanced E-learning tools, the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) and Revolution (a multiplayer role-playing game) to mediate learning activities in the digital classroom. Both reveal the shifting locus of agency for managing and regulating learning and identify a need to understand how learners are creatively appropriating a range of digital media to advance self-directed learning agendas. The main study, The Agency of the Learner in the Networked University, develops these insights through a cognitive anthropology, informed by post-Vygotskian theory, focussed on the digitally mediated practices of 16 post-graduate students who enjoyed unrestricted access to the Internet from their study rooms. The findings chapters explore i) learners designing personalised learning environments to support advanced knowledge work; ii) learners creatively appropriating web-based digital tools and resources for course related study and self education; iii) learners cultivating, nurturing and mobilising globally distributed funds of living knowledge; iv) learners breaking away from lifeworld communities and learning with others in online affinity spaces; and v) learners seeking out opportunities to bootstrap themselves towards the actualisation of a projective identity through serious play in virtually figured worlds. In each case, an attempt is made to innovate conceptual tools that can help us to identify and conceptualise the New Media Literacies (conceived of as expert-like digitally mediated practices) required to exploit the full potential of new media as a resource for course related study, independent learning and self-education.

Cette thèse porte sur les pratiques d’enseignement du français langue étrangère (FLE) en milieu universitaire vietnamien. L’enjeu est d’étudier ces pratiques à partir des représentations des enseignants afin d’appréhender dans leurs discours la part réservée aux méthodes d’enseignement qu’ils souhaiteraient employer au nom de référentiels théoriques issus du Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECRL) à partir desquels ils ont été formés et ce qu’ils disent faire réellement dans leurs pratiques de classe dans le contexte de la culture éducative locale. Le titre « entre culture d’apprentissage et culture d’enseignement » indique le lien dynamique, dialectique voire conflictuel entre l’héritage des habitus culturels qui s’expriment à travers des pratiques et méthodes traditionnelles d’enseignement-apprentissage et les influences occidentales qui proposent d’autres modèles dont le CECRL représente l’un des aspects pour apprendre et enseigner les langues. Pris entre ces modèles passés/présents, la question est de comprendre comment les enseignants appréhendent et actualisent leurs pratiques sachant que le gouvernement vietnamien privilégie des orientations d’inspirations occidentales dans le cadre de sa politique linguistique. Deux questions traversent cette thèse : 1. Quel est l’impact de la culture éducative et sociale sur ces pratiques dans le discours des enseignants au regard de ces choix ? 2. De quelles manières et jusqu’où s’approprient-ils ces références venues d’Europe pour adapter voire contextualiser des pratiques en les reliant à l’environnement local vietnamien ? D’un point de vue méthodologique, cette thèse privilégie une démarche qualitative et s’appuie sur un corpus d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de quinze enseignants universitaires de FLE répartis sur les trois régions Nord, Centre et Sud du pays. / This thesis is about French as foreign language teaching practices inside vietnamese academic community. Its purpose is to study these practices based on teachers’ representations in order to understand how they would use teaching methods closed to theoretical references of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - they were trained with their theoretical references - and what they actually they say they do in their classes practices inside the educational local culture. This title « Midway between cultural education and cultural learning » identifies the dialectics or contentious connection between the heritage of cultural customs which exists inside learning-education traditional methods and western influences as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages which represents one of the methods to learn and teach languages. Between this past and present methodologies, the issue is to understand how teachers perceive their practices when we know that vietnamese government promotes western influences in its language policy. This thesis tries to answer at 2 questions : 1. What is the impact of educative and social culture in the way teachers teach ? 2. In what ways and how far they adapt these western influences to vietnamese local context ? In methodological way, this thesis gives priority to qualitative approach and bases on fifteen academic teachers of French as foreign language interviews based in North, Center and South Vitenam.

This study discusses the relevance of intercultural pedagogy in an increasingly digital and multicultural world. By exploring the intersection between intercultural pedagogy and youths’ visual culture the study aims to lay the groundwork for a pedagogical development in the field of culturally relevant pedagogy. The study brings light to the cognitive and motivational potential a pupil-oriented pedagogy has. The study also discusses limitations of intercultural and culturally relevant pedagogy, including the risks of ignoring ethnically diverse classrooms’ transcultural identities. Through the use of qualitative interviews with visual art teachers, in addition to an analysis of existing research dating back to the coining of culturally relevant pedagogy, this study examines how visual art teachers implement students’ visual cultures in the classroom and how this can be further developed into an inclusive and relevant pedagogical practice. / Denna studie diskuterar interkulturell pedagogiks relevans i en alltmer digital och mångkulturell värld. Genom att utforska intersektionen mellan interkulturell pedagogik och ungdomars visuella kultur syftar studien till att lägga grunden för en pedagogisk utveckling inom området kulturellt relevant pedagogik. Studien belyser den kognitiva och motiverande potential en elevorienterad pedagogik har. Studien diskuterar också begränsningar av interkulturell och kulturellt relevant pedagogik, inklusive riskerna med att ignorera mångkulturella klassrums transkulturella identiteter. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med bildlärare, i samband med analys av befintlig forskning som går tillbaka till myntandet av kulturellt relevant pedagogik, undersöker denna studie hur bildlärare implementerar elevers visuella kulturer i klassrummet och hur detta kan vidareutvecklas till en inkluderande och relevant pedagogisk praktik.
