Résumé: The main objective of this design experiment (Brown, 1992; Collins, 1992; 1999) was to evaluate the characteristics of a hybrid learning environment (onsite/online interactions) for collaborative reflective practice (Schön, 1983) and knowledge building (Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1994); two key elements for pre-service teachers’ development. The concept of affordance (Gibson, 1979) was helpful to understand how participants interacted with the characteristics of the environment before, during and after their field experience. We concentrate here on affordances that were available during the field experience, i.e. those from an electronic forum. Research results are coming from qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. They illustrate how online interactions can combine with onsite experience to engage pre-service teachers in rich discourse about innovative teaching practices.
