Les gestes professionnels

French to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy teacher training
Hello All,
This crops up in the programme for a conference on teacher training. There is a workshop on 'Les gestes professionnels' unfortunately without any info on the content. If anyone has any idea what this could refer to, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks in advance,

My though at first, too Sandra; I'd mainly heard the French expression associated with Med studies, but it seems to be used frequently in a more general sense as well, especially as concerns teaching.
Sandra Mouton Nov 6, 2008:
Do you know what these teachers are supposed to teach. It's different if they are medical teachers in a nurse school or teaching English literature.

Professional conduct is another possibility

agree Sandra Mouton : If the source text isn't about teaching in a field where tchnical 'gestes' are required, I agree with your translation

Thanks - yes it could be physical gestures, but at least it's normally safer to be less specific than the original rather than more

professional protocol

Hello,

This is my understanding.

protocol = code of conduct: the rules of correct or appropriate behavior of a group, organization, or profession

I hope this helps.
