La recherche s’est intéressée à la place des arts à l’école primaire à travers un état des lieux des pratiques pédagogiques, suite à la mise en place de l’enseignement de l’histoire des arts en 2008, et a également considéré la question de la demande sociale. L’objectif de la recherche était, à la fois d’identifier les pratiques des enseignants dans le domaine de l’éducation artistique, et de comprendre en quoi cet enseignement participe à la transmission du patrimoine culturel en milieu scolaire. La recherche s’appuie à la fois sur une enquête réalisée sur une académie, auprès des enseignants et des parents d’élèves, et sur des observations de séances pédagogiques. Cette thèse propose, dans une première partie, d’observer la structuration de l’éducation artistique à travers l’évolution législative et les influences qui ont permis d’aboutir à sa définition aujourd’hui. Les textes officiels attestent d’une certaine volonté de démocratisation de l’art via l’institution scolaire par les pratiques des enseignants. À partir de la définition de l’éducation artistique qui repose aujourd’hui sur l’enseignement de l’histoire des arts, les pratiques culturelles de classe et les ateliers de pratique artistique, la recherche s’est également intéressée aux liens entre cet enseignement et la notion de patrimoine culturel. La seconde partie s’est focalisée sur les pratiques culturelles des familles, à partir d’un échantillon de parents, et sur la demande sociale, c'est-à-dire les attentes des parents d’élèves vis-à-vis de l’école et a tenté de répondre à la question du rôle de l’institution scolaire quant à la transmission du patrimoine culturel et à ses enjeux dans le cadre d’une société multiculturelle. Ainsi, la place de l’éducation artistique semble faire aujourd’hui l’unanimité auprès des acteurs mais le combat s’est déplacé sur le terrain de la question de l’égalité. C’est ce que l’analyse cartographique (ArcGIS) a permis de mettre en lumière. Enfin, nous avons rendu compte des pratiques pédagogiques observées dans le cadre des observations de terrain. Si cette recherche a permis d’une part d’identifier les pratiques des enseignants, les moyens et usages qu’ils mobilisent au sein de leur classe, les facteurs minorant ou majorant les pratiques ; elle a d’autre part favorisé l’identification des acteurs qui interagissent dans le cadre de l’objet observé et pour lequel nous avons développé, à des fins d’analyse et de lecture, le théorie des parties prenantes éducatives pour développer une approche globale de l’objet. / Research has focused on the role of the arts in an inventory of educational practices through primary school, following the introduction of the teaching of Art History in 2008, and also considered the issue of social demand. The objective of the research was in first to identify teachers' practices in the field of arts education, and also to understand how this course contributes to the transmission of cultural heritage in schools. The research builds on both a survey of an academy, with teachers and parents, and on observations of teaching. In a first part, we observe how arts education was structured through legislative changes and influences that have led to its definition today. The official texts attest to a willingness to democratize art through the school system by teachers' practices. From the definition of arts education which is now based on the teaching of art history, cultural practices of class and artistic workshops, research has also examined the relationship between the teaching and the notion of cultural heritage. The second part focused on the cultural practices of families from a sample of parents, and social demand, that is to say, the expectations of parents toward school and tried to answer the question of the role of the educational institution in the transmission of cultural heritage and its implications in the context of a multicultural society. Thus, instead of arts education today seems to be unanimous among players, but the fight has moved to the grounds of the issue of equality. That's what mapping analysis (ArcGIS) helped bring to light. Finally, we reported on the teaching practices observed in the field observations. If this research has allowed one hand to identify the practices of teachers, resources and practices that they mobilize in their class, the lower bound or upper bound factors practices, on the other hand it will help identify actors interacting in the context of the observed object and for which we have developed for the purpose of analysis and reading the theory of educational stakeholders to develop a comprehensive approach to the object.

Cette thèse vise à discuter de la pertinence de l'introduction de mécanismes de marché au sein du système éducatif. En particulier, elle s'interroge sur la capacité de ces mécanismes à améliorer la réussite des élèves. Elle montre dans une première partie que des mécanismes de marché n’ont que peu de chance de permettre un meilleur appariement des élèves aux écoles, des mécanismes centralisés étant préférables. Elle mesure ensuite l’ampleur des effets de pair dans le système scolaire français, et montre qu’ils sont non négligeables. Elle montre ensuite que le système éducatif public français est peu capable de rémunérer ses enseignants au mérite. Enfin, elle analyse l’impact d’une ouverture à la compétition du marché scolaire sur le niveau d’effort des écoles et montre qu’une telle ouverture est susceptible de réduire le niveau d’effort des écoles en augmentant la différentiation vertical entre école, et donc leur pouvoir de marché. En conclusion, les mécanismes de marché semblent peu capables d’améliorer la réussite scolaire. / This dissertation discusses the relevance of the implementation of market mechanisms in the educational system. It shows that such mechanisms are unlikely to improve the matching between schools and students, since centralized mechanisms perform better. Then, it measures peers effects in French public junior high school, and shows that they quite large. In a third part, it looks to the compensation of teachers in France, and show that it is not based on merit or performance. Last, it analyses the impact of the openness to competition of the education, and shows that it is unlikely to produce improvement. Indeed, such openness would lead to an increased vertical differentiation across, giving them more market power. As a result, market mechanisms seem unable to improve students’ achievement.

Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2003.

Teacher retention rates are staggeringly low across the United States. Nearly 20% of public school teachers leave their position from one year to the next, a majority of schools have a turnover rate of 50% every three years, and over 50% of teachers leave the education field within the first five years of employment. This retention problem impacts all type of public school systems—urban, suburban, and rural school districts. This study examined teacher retention in elementary and secondary schools in three rural school districts in eastern Kentucky. Review of district and school documents about teacher retention informed the selection of participants. School districts and specific schools in rural eastern Kentucky with higher retention rates than the average teacher retention of public schools in Kentucky were study sites. Data were collected through individual interviews with superintendents and principals and through focus-group interviews with teachers to gain their perspectives about what influenced the higher teacher retention. Analysis of data identified themes for high teacher retention. The findings suggest that a strong familial school culture among teachers and with school administrators positively impacts teacher retention. High teacher retention is also influenced by Appalachian culture and teachers' desires to contribute to the local community beyond the school building and have a positive impact on the future of the local community’s youth.

The purpose of this study was to construct a holistic education school evaluation tool using Montessori Erdkinder principles, and begin the validation process of examining the proposed tool. This study addresses a vital need in the holistic education community for a school evaluation tool. The tool construction process included using Erdkinder literature to justify the development of each item through the use of an item matrix, ultimately leading to the development of the 23 item formative Montessori Erdkinder School Evaluation Survey. The validation process included a series of three Rasch Rating Scale Model analyses with data from a sample school. The validation process used item anchoring estimates from the earlier analyses in the later analyses and included determining the tool’s dimensionality, reliability, item fit, possible differential item functioning, and comparing the order of item difficulty levels to the holistic model of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Results of the study showed that six items had issues with fit and would need to be revised, and that the items in the cognitive and moral facet will need to be revised to better match Maslow’s model. This study provides the foundation for the development of a holistic education evaluation or accreditation system, and constructed a resource that could be directly implemented in schools.
