Abstract

Le besoin d’une approche théorique de base de la sociologie de l’éducation au Canada ayant été constaté, ce document isole les questions dans ce domaine de la sociologie qui devraient être étudiées en vue d’une compréhension plus large des processus d’études de détail et général en matière d’éducation dans ce pays. Ces questions comprennent : (1) les divers aspects de la population de l’école (facteurs socio-économiques…), (2) le développement de l’ordre social dans l’école, (3) les processus d’organisation et de groupe, avec des références particulières aux points de vue des personnes concernées, (4) les différentes facettes de la responsabilité dans le cadre de l’organisation pédagogique ainsi qu’entre celle-ci et la société en général, (5) des comparaisons entre les provinces et les régions avec l’accent mis sur les expériences de scolarité.
