Sommario/riassunto

L’autonomie des établissements scolaires est devenue un thème récurrent des débats éducatifs. On lui prête de nombreuses vertus. Il s’agirait tout à la fois de favoriser les initiatives pédagogiques et de rendre les écoles plus agiles et mieux adaptées à leurs contextes locaux. Cette autonomie fait aussi naître bien des craintes, particulièrement quand elle semble synonyme de développement de logiques concurrentielles. En France, les polémiques sur ce thème présentent alternativement l’autonomie comme une arme « contre » les enseignants ou comme un dispositif qui les « libéreraient ». Plutôt que de s’en tenir à des controverses générales, il a été choisi dans cet ouvrage, d’une part, de mobiliser la littérature internationale et des études de situations dans d’autres pays, et d’autre part, d’aborder une

In France, debates on this subject present autonomy either as a weapon “against” teachers or as a means of “freeing” them. Rather than sticking to common controversies, this book not only includes international literature and case studies from other countries, but also showcases a specific example of educational autonomy in a French secondary school. By comparing these reviews and experiences, this book offers some courses of action for promoting interaction between academic research and professional…
