L’innovation : condition ou/et frein des réformes en éducation ?

Dans les discours, il est habituel de considérer l’innovation comme condition du dynamisme des réformes en éducation. L’observation pratiquée sur une dizaine de systèmes éducatifs différents et l’examen de la littérature scientifique internationale me montrent qu’il faut nuancer ce propos. Dans une première partie de notre exposé, nous dégagerons donc les conditions pour que l’innovation (ce concept ayant été explicité pour rappel) joue effectivement ce rôle et les obstacles qui s’y opposent. Dans un second temps, nous nous pencherons sur les différentes formes de pilotage (et donc d’évaluation) rencontrées dans différents pays au niveau macro, méso et micro et en quoi celles-ci catalysent ou handicapent le dynamisme des réformes éducatives projetées.

Mots clés : Innovation, Réforme éducative, Condition, Frein.
