Education et vie au travail 01 : Perspectives contemporaines sur les parcours et l'orientation des..


Book Description

Depuis plusieurs décennies, les parcours scolaires, d'insertion professionnelle et de vie tendent à se complexifier, si bien que la question de l'orientation des jeunes devient saillante et soulève des défis inédits. Les « choix » d'orientation résultent en effet d'une articulation complexe, parfois contrastée, entre influences contextuelles et questionnements d'ordre individuel. D'emblée, tant les institutions scolaires que le marché du travail cadrent et canalisent la manière dont les jeunes se développent et font leurs choix de carrière. En même temps, ces choix émanent de leurs représentations et anticipations de soi, autrement dit de la manière dont les jeunes construisent, ou tentent de construire, leur identité. Les contributions du présent ouvrage, divisé en deux parties, décortiquent cette tension entre influences contextuelles et agir individuel. Il est ainsi possible de mieux saisir plusieurs des enjeux, des processus et des moments clés qui marquent l'orientation et les parcours des jeunes. Dans la première partie, il est question des parcours scolaires, c'est-à-dire du cheminement et des choix des jeunes à l'intérieur même et à différents paliers du système éducatif. La deuxième partie est ensuite consacrée au passage du monde scolaire au monde du travail – assimilé parfois au monde adulte – c'est-à-dire à leurs parcours d'insertion socioprofessionnelle.

Education et vie au travail 02 : Perspectives contemporaines sur les parcours de vie professionnelle


Book Description

Les transformations du marché du travail et de l'organisation du travail observées depuis maintenant quelques décennies ont eu des impacts sur les parcours professionnels et de vie de nombreux travailleurs et travailleuses. Si ces transformations sont relativement bien connues dans leurs aspects plus généraux (p. ex. économiques, sociaux), les façons dont elles s'incarnent plus précisément dans les milieux professionnels et les conséquences concrètes qu'elles ont sur la vie de travail des personnes, et sur les personnes elles-mêmes, suscitent encore beaucoup de questions. De même, les défis que posent ces transformations aux travailleurs dans la gestion de leurs transitions et, plus globalement, de leur parcours de vie professionnelle et de leurs rôles de vie ainsi que les nombreux enjeux professionnels et personnels auxquels elles donnent lieu, soulèvent tout autant d'interrogations.

Schooling and Cultural Autonomy


Book Description

The results of the students from the 30 school boards are grouped into four regions: New Brunswick, the other Atlantic provinces, Ontario, the Western provinces and the territories.2 The last chapter summarizes the main study findings and examines the ensuing educational and pedagogical consequences. [...] The institutional completeness component is the place where the main action takes place for the members of the community, the institutions and organizations of civil society. [...] Social proximity is the foundation of the model for cultural auton- omy, helping to highlight its central and fundamental role both for the vitality of the language and for the cultural autonomy of the group. [...] These are enculturation (amount of contact with the group's language and culture), personal autonomization (which ensures a person's autonomy as a learner and user of the language), and social conscientization (which encourages the development of a "critical consciousness" of the group's legitimacy and stability and sparks behaviours of involvement and leadership). [...] It rep- resents the group's management of the cultural and social institu- tions that breathe life into the group's language in the public domain (Breton, 1964) and marks the community's ability to establish and manage what Fritz Capra (2002) calls "identity borders." In fact, insti- tutions are the markers of the group's collective identity and have a major role to play in its historical continui.

Trust in Numbers


Book Description

A foundational work on historical and social studies of quantification What accounts for the prestige of quantitative methods? The usual answer is that quantification is desirable in social investigation as a result of its successes in science. Trust in Numbers questions whether such success in the study of stars, molecules, or cells should be an attractive model for research on human societies, and examines why the natural sciences are highly quantitative in the first place. Theodore Porter argues that a better understanding of the attractions of quantification in business, government, and social research brings a fresh perspective to its role in psychology, physics, and medicine. Quantitative rigor is not inherent in science but arises from political and social pressures, and objectivity derives its impetus from cultural contexts. In a new preface, the author sheds light on the current infatuation with quantitative methods, particularly at the intersection of science and bureaucracy.
