Currents Of Education

The plural school was considered as a lever of the renewal teaching which has made vogue at the beginning of the years 1970 . this Program of plural school was introduced for modify radically the organization of school work with the adoption of new school rhythms for the teachers and the pupils. It proposes a rupture with the traditional processes and the techniques of teaching, which are based on the cumulative and transmissible design of knowledge; the elimination of the mechanisms of school reprobation clean of the selective and attesting design of evaluation of teaching, put an end to the one-way practices where only the teacher has the capacity to evaluate, by thus introducing a new educational relation where all the partners of the teaching act take part in a mutual evaluation. The plural action plan proposes to modify the relationship to knowledge, by seeking new significances for the school contents from the point of view of globalization and transdisciplinarity. the pioneers of this concept carry out a series of experiments to reduce the the inequalities of the chances and to fight against the school losses and failures. One thus starts to set up the emergent school, meeting a need political and teaching for reorganization of the school system, without pushing back other currents innovating like the participative school or the school integrated in its environment or the school citizen… It should be noted however that these currents converge towards common objectives to knowing democratization of education and the equal opportunity of success. the action plan comprises several measurements:
- a more radical collective intervention to assure the human formation
- the school becomes a field of cultural actions.
- new social and professional identity of the school.
- To seek practices and actions in the school which develop the diversity of the total formation of learning.
- To consider the experiment of each age of formation, without interruption, by redefining times and spaces of the school organization in order to guarantee the rights of childhood, the adolescence and of the adulthood;
- To rediscover the force of socialization of the school, while maintaining educated nearly their pairs of age and to assure Socialization appropriate to each cycle of formation.
- To recognize the role of the professional of the education as an active partner of the local community.
In this new logical, the training of learning occupies the center of the educational process, whose objective is the formation and the social-cultural experiment clean of each age, putting fine at the traditional education centered on the process of transmission and the assimilation of the contents curricular where the pupil must assimilate a maximum of preset contents whose approval is a condition to admit it with higher cycle. plural school incorporates the design of total formation by admitting the diversity of the rhythms differentiated in the educational process of each learning, in order to gradually carry out towards his autonomy and his own assumption of responsibility
