    Summary

    This study focuses on teaching practices at university, in a context of institutionalization and development of training programs for teaching practices. How do teachers stage their classes? If the recommendations provided in these training programs are intended to optimize learning, can they be disseminated independently of disciplinary specificities and teaching content? Conducted across seven disciplines and three course formats at the third-year level, this research aims to analyze teaching practices through the study of teachers' discursive practices, their teaching materials, their physical and bodily presence, and their interactions with students. It then aims to identify the logic underlying these practices. Based on observations of class sessions and interviews with teachers and students, this work highlights the dynamic, located and co-constructed dimension of teaching practices that are embedded in communities of practice, but also within disciplinary teaching cultures. The aim is to examine the pedagogical and didactic challenges of staging university teaching in real-life situations, while questioning generic and prescriptive discourse in relation to actual practices.
