How to Instrument a Community of Practice Dedicated to Project Based Pedagogy Tutors: A Solution Based on Case Based Reasoning

Case Based Reasoning (CBR) methods have been used in various domain specific applications mainly dedicated to decision making. The aim of this paper is to present how CBR is integrated in an educative project, in order to contribute to life-long teacher training. In fact, the acquisition of professional know-how, for example in the management of project based activities, can constitute a major difficulty for novice teachers. Thus, the TUTOMA-BC module (TUTor support for MAetic – Based on Cases) aims to develop a web community platform dedicated to knowledge capitalization and know-how transfer between experienced teachers and beginners in using the MAETIC project based pedagogy method.
