Training through video-based interaction analysis: A method for caring for participants in vocational education

Abstract

Over the last decade, the field of interaction analysis has expanded significantly in the domain of workplace learning and adult education. In such training practices, participants analyse in detail the communicational and linguistic dimensions of their interactions, using audio-video recordings of their work activities. By analysing actual training practices in the light of care theories, the paper aims at a better understanding of how these practices are likely to encourage caring dynamics within work collectives and training participants during the analysis process.

Keywords: care, interactional analysis, language, vocational training, work.
