Political Thought at School: Problem and Theoretical Foundations Year of publication: 2019 Author: Olivier Lemieux | Denis Simard Corporate author: Éducation et francophonie At a time when voter turnout is apparently declining, many are wondering what actions to take to curb the political alienation and rise of cynicism among younger generations. In this context, the school seems to be an important nerve centre for action. Although Quebec schools do not specifically offer political education, we believe that some knowledge, subject-specific skills, cross-curricular competencies and general areas of training are likely to contribute to the formation of political thought. But what exactly do we mean by «political thought»? The purpose of this article is to propose a construction of this concept, notably by situating it and distinguishing it from other central concepts of human sciences. We therefore believe that this article will provide a theoretical foundation for a broader research project on citizens’ «political competence», which adds to political thought the tendency to take an interest in and participate in public life. Pour une pensée politique à l’école: Problématique et fondements théoriques Year of publication: 2019 Author: Olivier Lemieux | Denis Simard Corporate author: Éducation et francophonie En un supposé temps de déclin de la participation électorale, plusieurs s’interrogent sur les moyens d’action capables de freiner l’aliénation politique des jeunes générations et la montée du cynisme. Dans ce contexte, l’école apparaît comme un champ d’action particulièrement névralgique. Si l’école québécoise n’offre pas spécifiquement une éducation politique, nous estimons cependant que certaines connaissances, compétences disciplinaires, compétences transversales et certains domaines généraux de formation sont susceptibles de participer à la formation d’une pensée politique. Mais qu’entendons-nous exactement par «pensée politique»? L’objet du présent article vise à proposer une construction de ce concept, notamment en le situant et en le distinguant d’autres concepts centraux de l’enseignement des sciences humaines. Ainsi, nous estimons que le présent article permettra de poser une première pierre théorique pour un plus vaste projet de recherche portant sur la « compétence politique» des citoyens, laquelle ajoute à la pensée politique la propension à s’intéresser à la vie publique et à y participer.

Dossier pédagogique: Filles, garçons, à égalite dans l'espace public? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Plan International Ce dossier pédagogique vise à sensibiliser les adolescent-e-s à propos des inégalités entre garçons et filles et à les faire réfléchir aux conséquences. Le message global est positif: le chemin est porteur d’espoir. Les jeunes peuvent changer les choses. Ils/elles peuvent réfléchir et s’élever contre des normes inadaptées et construire leur avenir. Et nous pouvons, ensemble, briser les stéréotypes de genre, améliorer les modèles de rôles et construire à l’égalité des chances entre garçons et filles.

La classe est un cadre idéal pour cette remise en question.
