Catherine Loisy is Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Science of Education at the French Institute of Education (IFÉ) associated to the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Lyon. Her research theme mainly focuses on the professional development of teachers in the digital age. She studies how interactions supported by digital devices contribute to learning and development, especially for higher education teachers. In order to study the development trajectories of professionals, she works on the elaboration of a methodology based on Vygotsky’s approach, which considers development as an appropriation of historical-social artifacts. She also questions the effects of the introduction of digital technologies on pedagogy in higher education. She has conducted several national studies supported by the General Directorate of Higher Education and Professional Integration of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation in France. She is a national expert on the issue of teachers’ digital competences.
