Abstract

Cet article traite du rapport qui existe entre l’influence de la politique dans le domaine de l’éducation et de la psychologie et les difficultés que rencontrent les psychologues en éducation au Canada. Les particularités de l’économie politique dans laquelle œuvrent les psychologues en éducation au Canada sont décrites; et l’influence que ces facteurs ont sur l’éducation et la psychologie est considérée comme un obstacle majeur si l’on veut dissiper la confusion et diminuer le désordre et la faiblesse qui règnent dans le domaine de l’éducation et de la psychologie. Pour surmonter ces difficultés, on suggère de voir le rôle du psychologue selon une toute autre perspective, c’est-à-dire avec une plus grande conscience politique et économique, un sens critique développé et une définition personnelle de la réalité.
