The 4th International Conference on Joint Action Theory in Education (TACD) will take place at INSPÉ Bretagne, Rennes campus, from Monday, July 6, 2026, to Thursday, July 9, 2026.
It follows on from the first three editions (Rennes 2019, Nancy 2021, and Brest 2023).
This conference is proposed and organized by a research collective that has been working in didactics for nearly twenty years, bringing together researchers from the following laboratories: CREAD, University of Western Brittany and University of Rennes 2; CREN, University of Nantes; CRIT and ELLIADD, Marie and Louis Pasteur University; LINE, University of Côte d'Azur;LIRFE, Catholic University of the West; LISEC, University of Lorraine.
Conference theme
The TACD 2026 conference, “Cooperation, Arts of Doing, Evidence,” implements cooperation between research and society, aiming to better understand the notion of evidence in educational, scientific, and cultural research. It takes an encyclopedic approach to describing practices considered to be arts of doing.
Why and for what purpose should we provide evidence?
What should we provide evidence of?
What constitutes evidence?
How and to whom should we provide evidence?
What is evidence that can be considered “scientific”?
A new format
To explore this question, the 2026 edition of the TACD conference will take on a new format, involving research and society, and built around workshop-symposiums:
Thematic workshop-symposiums
Thematic workshop-symposiums expanded with presentations
Plenary conferences
Poster sessions
This particular form of organization aims to involve researchers and people from society from a variety of backgrounds. The goal is to work together to understand the practices of others and to make a practice or one's own practice intelligible. In this quest for cooperation, this work of mutual understanding aims to bring out generic and specific elements that cut across varied, even distant, practices, which may lead to a better understanding of the concept of evidence.
